Dak Prescott or MarShawn Lloyd: who should I start?
Both players' season price from the sportsbooks, their usage this season and their last full season's numbers, with the draft market's own figures wherever it still has them.
Updated Sep 19, 2026 at 11:01 AM ET
The sportsbooks price Dak Prescott 7.5 points a game ahead of MarShawn Lloyd this season, and that is the order this page leads on. Neither is in the consensus draft sample any more, so there is no current draft order to give between them: the books' price is the live market on these two.

Side by side
Dak Prescott is a quarterback and MarShawn Lloyd a running back, 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 MarShawn Lloyd in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.
What would change the answer
7.5 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.
