Predicting the Dallas Cowboys’ Fantasy Football Standouts for 2025 – Bright Stars Ready to Shine

Fantasy football glory and real-life NFL success don’t always go hand-in-hand, but when the Cowboys light up the fantasy scoreboard, big things often follow. After a tough 2024 season plagued by injuries and inconsistency, could 2025 be the year Dallas fantasy stars bounce back in a big way?

1. Dak Prescott – Quarterback Resurgence
Projected Points: 365
2024 Total: 124.5
After a season cut short by injury, Prescott is set for a fantasy rebound. With a healthier O-line, new weapons, and veteran poise, Dak is poised to return to his status as Dallas’ top fantasy scorer. If he stays healthy, expect him to put up elite QB numbers and reclaim his place among the fantasy elite.

2. CeeDee Lamb – All-Pro Receiver Machine
Projected Points: 215
2024 Total: 162.4
Lamb remains one of the safest picks in all of fantasy football. Even with missed games and a rotating cast of QBs, he finished as a top-10 WR last year. With Dak back and George Pickens drawing coverage, Lamb should thrive – a lock for another top-three finish at wide receiver.

3. Brandon Aubrey – The Kicker King
Projected Points: 188
2024 Total: 192.0
Kickers rarely make headlines, but Aubrey is an exception. He’s dominated fantasy kicker rankings for two straight years, and his big leg isn’t slowing down. If you want the safest points in the league, he’s your guy.

4. Micah Parsons – Defensive Game Wrecker
Projected Points: 185
2024 Total: 142.3
In IDP leagues, few defenders offer more upside than Parsons. With Defensive Player of the Year potential and a knack for game-changing plays, he can put up monster numbers and win you weekly matchups from the linebacker or edge spot.

5. Jake Ferguson – Tight End Sleeper
Projected Points: 120
2024 Total: 45.4
Fresh off a new contract, Ferguson looks ready to rebound after a disappointing 2024. He’s reliable, featured in Dallas’ plans, and with stability at QB, he could sneak back into the top-10 tight ends – perhaps even outscoring new arrival George Pickens in fantasy.

Last season, only Lamb and Aubrey were reliable fantasy assets as the Cowboys battled injuries and roster turnover. With key players back and the offense reloaded, 2025 could see multiple Cowboys among the league’s top fantasy scorers.

Don’t let last season’s disappointment scare you away – Dallas Cowboys stars are primed for fantasy football redemption. Whether you’re drafting Prescott, Lamb, Aubrey, Parsons, or Ferguson, the Cowboys could be the key to your 2025 fantasy championship.

Cowboys Reunite with a Former Starter, Bolstering a Battle-Tested Defense for the Stretch Run
Dallas, TX – In a surprising yet strategic move, the Dallas Cowboys have officially signed linebacker Luke Gifford on the afternoon of October 8, 2025, just hours after the San Francisco 49ers decided to cut the veteran. The one-year, $3.5 million deal (with performance bonuses up to $1.5 million) marks an emotional homecoming for Gifford to the franchise that launched his career, while also plugging an urgent hole in Dallas’ linebacker depth after multiple injuries out of Week 5.   Gifford, 29, was a reliable glue piece for the Cowboys from 2019 to 2022—an undrafted gem who carved out his role on special teams and situational defense in the star and stripes. After leaving Dallas, he spent time with the Tennessee Titans (2023) and 49ers (2024–2025), earning a reputation as a smart, assignment-sound linebacker who can play WILL/SAM and contribute immediately on kick coverage and sub-packages.   With San Francisco this year, Gifford appeared in four games before Tuesday night’s roster shuffle left him as the odd man out. Dallas pounced. “Luke knows our standard and our language,” head coach Mike McCarthy said after practice. “He’s tough, dependable, and versatile. Given where our linebacker room is right now, he’s exactly the kind of veteran who can stabilize us fast.”   For the Cowboys—leading the NFC East at 4–1 but juggling availability at linebacker—this is timely triage and culture reinforcement. Defensive coaches value Gifford’s communication and angles in space; special teams coordinator notes he can step in on all four core units immediately. Gifford, moments after signing, posted on X: “Back where it started. Let’s work. #HowBoutThemCowboys #DC4L”   Cowboys Nation erupted online as #GiffordReturns trended across the Metroplex, with many fans framing it as a subtle flex against the 49ers—Dallas’ recent playoff nemesis. NFL Network panels speculated Gifford could suit up as early as this weekend if paperwork clears, logging early snaps on special teams and dime looks while the staff ramps him into the defensive packages.   Beyond the depth chart math, the message is clear: Dallas is moving decisively to protect its defensive identity and keep the NFC East lead. If Gifford brings the same reliability and edge-setting discipline he showed in his first stint, the Cowboys may have found the steadying piece they needed for a stretch run.   Can Luke Gifford’s homecoming spark a sturdier second level and help Dallas tighten the screws in crunch time? We’ll know soon enough. #CowboysNation #DallasCowboys #HowBoutThemCowboys
