Their 2025 seasons

He threw for 4552 yards on 600 attempts with 30 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, and ran for 177 yards and 2 touchdowns.

That came to 35.3 attempts a game at 7.6 yards an attempt.

He was on the field for 98 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Denzel Boston is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

Side by side

Dak Prescott is a quarterback and Denzel Boston a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Dak Prescott is off in Week 14 and Denzel Boston in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

7.3 points a game is the entire case. The books restate it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.

The draft market is the half that is missing: when the consensus sample holds these two again it can order them differently from the price, and this page will follow the sample rather than the books when it does.
