George Pickens

George Pickens heads to Dallas with plenty of real-life upside, but fantasy managers should tread carefully based on the Steelers' hit rate of moving on from "polarizing" WRs before it's too late. While he flashed WR14 production during a six-game stretch with improved QB play in 2024, Pickens remains a volatile, big-play specialist who doesn't command high target volume. Pairing with Dak Prescott is an upgrade, but in a system where CeeDee Lamb dominates touches and Dallas just extended KaVontae Turpin, Pickens' role isn't guaranteed to be stable. His ADP will likely climb, making him a potential fade in 2025.

the Cowboys’ plan is reportedly for George Pickens “to play out his rookie deal.”

Fantasy Impact

It does not appear an extension will be agreed to despite Dallas trading a 2026 third round draft pick and a 2027 fifth rounder for Pickens on Wednesday. He immediately becomes the Cowboys No. 2 wide receiver behind CeeDee Lamb.
