Fantasy Football Player Notes
2025 Draft Rankings
|
6.
CeeDee Lamb
WR - (at NYG)
Lamb played half of the 2025 season without QB Dak Prescott, who sustained a season-ending hamstring injury, and missed a pair of games himself. He still had 101-1,194-6 and finished WR8 in half-point PPR fantasy scoring. Lamb gets Prescott back, and the Cowboys' addition of WR George Pickens should keep defenses from rolling all sorts of coverage help in Lamb's direction.

George Pickens
WR - (at NYG)
An extremely polarizing player, George Pickens went from Pittsburgh to Dallas in an offseason trade. Known for circus catches and erratic on-field behavior, Pickens will now have to share targets with one of the best receivers in the game, CeeDee Lamb.
But playing with Lamb might help Pickens. He might get less defensive attention and matchups against lesser cornerbacks. Pickens will also get to play with Dak Prescott, one of the better pure passers in the league. By no means is Pickens an A-plus route-runner, but Pickens' ball skills are extraordinary. There are very few receivers as good at the catch point as George Pickens is. I think Pickens is worth considering at his midrange WR3 price. |

79.
Dak Prescott
QB - (at NYG)
Dak Prescott's 2024 season ended prematurely when he tore his hamstring off the bone in the Cowboys' Week 9 loss to the Falcons. Through the first eight weeks of the season, Prescott averaged 16.0 fantasy points per game, ranking QB18 in that category. Prescott had been QB3 in fantasy scoring in 2023, averaging 20.7 fantasy points per game. Although he doesn't run much anymore, Prescott could be a worthy wait-on-QB target in 2025 fantasy drafts since he's likely to come at a discount following an injury-shortened season. Dallas has a strong group of pass catchers with CeeDee Lamb and new acquisition George Pickens, along with TE Jake Ferguson.

Javonte Williams
RB - (at NYG)
Javonte Williams recently said he's just starting to feel like his old self after tearing his ACL and LCL in 2022 after an impressive rookie season in 2021. Williams came back in 2023 but had a mediocre year, and he wasn't very effective last year either. Williams did have a career-high 52 catches in 2024, but for only 346 receiving yards and no touchdowns. He didn't didn't have a 100-yard rushing game for the Broncos all season and averaged 3.7 yards per carry. Exclude a two-touchdown game against a bad Saints run defense, and Williams averaged 6.7 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. But Williams is only 25, and he has a good chance to be the lead RB in Dallas, where his competitors for touches are Miles Sanders and rookies, Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah. It's not inconceivable that Williams could return to fantasy prominence in 2025 if indeed he's fully healthy.

Jake Ferguson
TE - (at NYG)
After being the TE8 in half-point PPR fantasy scoring in 2023, Jake Ferguson finished TE30 in 2024, with 59 catches for 494 yards and zero touchdowns in 14 games. Ferguson missed action with a knee injury and a concussion. A hamstring injury that wiped out half of QB Dak Prescott's season didn't help Ferguson's cause either. Solid 2023 numbers suggest that a bounceback is possible, but targets could be sparse for Ferguson now that the Cowboys have added WR George Pickens to complement target-hogging WR CeeDee Lamb.

Jaydon Blue
RB - (at NYG)
Blue re-injured his ankle, but it's not expected to be overly serious according to the rookie RB. Even so, the rookie looks more like a long-term bet than an immediate contributor for the Dallas offense and fantasy lineups.

183.
Brandon Aubrey
K - (at NYG)
Brandon Aubrey was the K1 in total fantasy points last year. He could repeat at the top of the position again in 2025. A healthy Dak Prescott and the addition of George Pickens should go a long way with sustaining drives, getting into field goal range, and improving scoring opportunities for Aubrey and the offense. Last year, Aubrey had ten weeks with double-digit fantasy scoring.

Phil Mafah
RB - (at NYG)
Per Jeremy Fowler, the Cowboys will place rookie RB Phil Mafah (shoulder) on Injured Reserve. The plan is for him to return during the season.

324.
KaVontae Turpin
WR - (at NYG)
KaVontae Turpin quietly showed explosive potential in 2024, finishing 26th among all WRs in yards per route run (2.06) and earning targets on 26% of his routes - an elite rate. Though he never played more than 50% of snaps in any game, Dallas clearly values his dynamic skillset, re-signing him to a three-year, $18 million deal this offseason. With George Pickens presumed to be the WR2, Turpin still has a chance to carve out a meaningful role, especially in creative packages. He's a deep sleeper to monitor, particularly in best ball formats or return-yardage leagues.
