Cowboys Fantasy Football Rundown: Huge Scoring Opportunities in Week 6

Williams had a new season high in rushing yards against the Jets in Week 5, and topped his Week 2 high for fantasy points in PPR leagues. His 26.9 points also marked his fourth 20+ point fantasy game this season.

There is no doubt, at this point, about his starting status in every fantasy league. If this guy doesn’t claim your RB1 spot, you must be stacked at the position.

2. Dak Prescott: MVP-Level Performance Sends Fantasy Value Sky High

Over the last two weeks, former MVP runner-up and current candidate for that same award, Dak Prescott, has put up nearly 60 fantasy points.

Against the Packers, we saw a 30+ point performance, and he followed that up with a near-30 bomb against the Jets. In total, he has thrown for seven touchdowns, no interceptions, and over 500 yards in that span.

In most leagues, he comes into Week 6 as the fifth-ranked scoring fantasy quarterback, and he’s looking to keep it up against Carolina.

Prescott is quickly becoming a must-start in fantasy football.

3. Jake Ferguson: Can’t Ignore “Ferg’s” Breakout Fantasy Year Anymore

Brock Bowers and Trey McBride owners might not be able to stomach it, but Jake Ferguson is the top-scoring fantasy tight end in 2025 by a country mile.

“Ferg” has completely exploded this season; only Puka Nacua has more total receptions, and the next closest tight end (McBride) is a full 12 catches behind.

Following a low-scoring Week 1, Ferguson has scored at least 16 points in every game, and he’s gotten into the end zone three times over the last two weeks. He is an elite volume fantasy option who now has his touchdown potential back.

Will he remain TE1 the rest of the way? It’s hard to say for sure, but right now, he’s clearly the top dog.

4. George Pickens: Touchdown Machine Becoming Top-Tier Fantasy Receiver

Ranking George Pickens this low feels unfair, but it’s a reflection of how incredible the guys ahead of him have been—not a criticism of his own play.

The truth is, Pickens is emerging as a top fantasy wide receiver, even if that’s boosted by Lamb’s absence. The former Georgia Bulldog is reeling in touchdowns like a madman, and it is winning people games in fantasy.

With touchdowns in each of his last four games, and a 30+ point performance thrown in there in PPR leagues, Pickens is both a safe fantasy bet for the first time and a high-potential weapon.

If you’ve got him, you’re rightfully banking on big games each week at this point.
