George Pickens — Questionable
Pickens is dealing with a lingering shoulder issue and a new hamstring injury, which so far has capped his practice reps this week. He'll have one more chance to get back to full Friday, at which point the Cowboys may tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
George Pickens — Questionable
Pickens endured some practice restrictions last week due to a shoulder issue, but a hamstring injury is combining with the existing health concern to impact his on-field work to kick off Week 8 prep. He'll have two more opportunities to get back to full this week, at which point the Cowboys may tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
George Pickens — Active
Pickens tied for second in receptions and finished third in receiving yards on the night for the Cowboys, and the athletic receiver added his second touchdown of the season on a highly difficult catch in the right corner of the end zone with just under six minutes remaining in the second quarter. Both of Pickens' scoring grabs this season have come in the last three games, and he's now boasting a 37-485-2 line on 58 targets as a Week 8 home matchup against the Cardinals approaches this Sunday.

With Pickens upgrading from limited participation Thursday to full Friday, he appears to be good to go for Monday night against the Eagles. Pickens hasn't shown much of a fantasy ceiling to this point, outside of Week 5 against the Bucs when CeeDee Lamb was battling a quad issue, but few have the raw upside he possesses most weeks.
George Pickens — Questionable
After being listed as a limited participant Thursday due to the shoulder issue, Pickens' presence at practice Friday is at least a positive sign for his Week 7 availability Monday night against the Eagles. It's been a slow start to the 2026 season for Pickens, who has just one 100-yard receiving game and one touchdown through six contests as fantasy's overall WR24 in half-PPR points per game.
George Pickens — Questionable
Pickens avoided the Cowboys' injury report through the first six weeks of the season, but he now has made an appearance to kick off Week 7 prep. Considering he was listed as limited, it may be more of a maintenance day for the fifth-year pro, who so far has begun the 2026 campaign with a 33-428-1 line on 52 targets. Pickens has two more chances to get back to full ahead of Monday's contest at Philadelphia.

Pickens caught his only first-half target for 16 yards. He was much busier in the second half and ended up edging out CeeDee Lamb by three receiving yards for the team lead, though Lamb led the Cowboys with nine catches on 18 targets. Pickens has picked up the pace following a slow start, notching at least 73 receiving yards in four consecutive games after posting just 68 yards in Weeks 1 and 2 combined. After scoring a career-high nine touchdowns in 2025, he's still stuck on one TD heading into a Week 7 road game against the slumping Eagles.

Lamb exploded for 17 catches in Week 4, but the Cowboys made a concerted effort to get Pickens more involved last Thursday night against the Bucs, as he secured nine of 13 targets for 130 yards and a touchdown. Lamb suffered a quad bruise late in the game, and it allowed Pickens to be the clear WR1 and target hog while Lamb nursed his injury on the sideline. Pickens has weekly monster box-score upside, and he can still go off for a big line even with Lamb past his bruised thigh.

Pickens was a bit player in the air attack during a Week 4 comeback win against the Texans in which CeeDee Lamb (quadriceps) recorded a massive 17-189-1 line on 21 targets, but it was the former's turn to shine Thursday. The fact Lamb was in and out of the game during the latter stages of the fourth quarter did have some impact on Pickens' involvement, but the latter was already having a big night that included his first receiving touchdown of the season on an 18-yard grab in the fourth quarter. Pickens ultimately finished with new season-high figures across his receiving line, and he'll be in line for a similarly busy night in a Week 6 road matchup against the Packers on Sunday night, Oct. 18 if Lamb is limited or misses that contest altogether.
George Pickens — Active
CeeDee Lamb was the target on a massive 21 of Dak Prescott's 45 pass attempts, which didn't leave much volume for any other Cowboy. Pickens made an impact when he got a chance however, hauling in receptions of 53 and 22 yards. Pickens is still looking for his first TD of 2026 after scoring a career-high nine last season, and he'll take an 18-225-0 line on 28 targets through four games into a Week 5 meeting at home against the Buccaneers.
George Pickens — Active
The fifth-year wideout led the Cowboys in targets while setting new season highs in targets, catches and receiving yards, as he begins to shake off a slow start to the campaign. Pickens is still searching for his first TD of 2026, or even his first gain of 20-plus yards, but he'll look to continue building momentum in a Week 4 road trip to Houston.
