Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens comes into Week 11 as the WR5 in half-PPR scoring, largely on the strength of what he was able to accomplish while teammate CeeDee Lamb was sidelined with an ankle injury. In the three games that Lamb missed, Pickens averaged 120 yards per game while scoring four touchdowns and finishing as the weekly WR2, WR19, and WR1. In the three games since Lamb's return, Pickens has failed to find the endzone, and he finished as a top-24 wide receiver only once (WR20 in Week 8). However, he has still seen nine targets in two out of three games while averaging nearly 80 receiving yards per game. In Week 11, as many teams start to face inclement weather, the Cowboys will be playing in a dome against a Las Vegas Raiders team that has been one of the most generous to fantasy receivers. Dallas is coming out of their bye week and has one of the highest implied point totals of the week, giving both Lamb and Pickens a legitimate shot to finish as top-12 receivers.

The Dallas Cowboys have not engaged in contract extension talks with wide receiver George Pickens or his representatives with a week remaining before this year's trade deadline, a source told Ed Werder of ESPN. Pickens is on an expiring contract that will end after the 2025 season. Werder mentions that placing the franchise tag on Pickens is an option to Dallas that would cost a projected $28 million for the 2026 campaign. The 24-year-old former second-round pick has been an excellent addition to the Cowboys' offense this year, catching 43 of his 63 targets for 685 yards and a career-high six touchdowns in eight games played. Not only has Pickens been an excellent WR2 to help take attention off CeeDee Lamb, but he has also avoided any off-the-field distractions and has had a mature approach after character concerns surfaced in Pittsburgh. Even though an extension hasn't really been discussed, it doesn't mean he won't be back in Dallas next year.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens is having an excellent first season in Dallas, and the Cowboys could be considering an extension for him. "Any and everything about George Pickens has crossed our minds. ... Certainly he's a topic of interest and discussions because of the success he's having," owner Jerry Jones said on Tuesday on 105.3 The Fan. The 24-year-old currently has 36 receptions on 54 targets for 607 yards and a career-high six touchdowns through the first seven weeks of the 2025 campaign. Those numbers have been good enough to place Pickens as the No. 4 fantasy wideout in half-PPR scoring. It helped that fellow wideout CeeDee Lamb missed three games due to a high-ankle sprain, but Pickens was still productive with four catches and 82 yards in Week 7 after Lamb returned. He should continue to remain heavily involved in Dallas' pass-heavy attack along Lamb, making him a weekly must-start in fantasy.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens has held down the No. 1 WR role effectively with CeeDee Lamb (ankle) missing the last three games. Lamb is set to make his return in Week 7, sliding Pickens back into the No. 2 role. He racked up 19 catches for 359 yards and four touchdowns on 26 targets in Lamb's absence and should still have a big role in Dallas' elite offense. Even with Lamb back in the lineup, Pickens should be poised for another productive fantasy day against a vulnerable Washington secondary. He caught five of seven targets for 91 yards and a touchdown against them last year with the Steelers, and will rank as a borderline WR1 for Week 7.

Through six weeks, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens leads the NFL with six touchdown receptions, while his 525 yards trail only Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Puka Nacua. Asked on Tuesday about a potential contract extension, Cowboys owner and GM Jerry Jones touched upon Pickens' fit within the locker room before saying the team would need to think about "having some room available if [they] are gonna pay a second receiver at that level." The Cowboys acquired Pickens in an offseason trade, and as he plays out the final season of his rookie contract, he currently represents the gem of the 2026 free agency class at the position. It remains to be seen if he can keep up his torrid pace when CeeDee Lamb (ankle) returns from injury, but wherever he ends up next season, he'll likely see a deal in excess of $30 million per year. He should be viewed as a fringe WR1 in both redraft and dynasty formats.

Cowboys' WR George Pickens scored an astounding 31.80 fantasy points in Sunday's Week 6 loss in Carolina. Pickens caught nine passes for 168 yards with one touchdown.

Dynasty | Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens had nine catches for 168 yards and a touchdown in a loss against the Panthers. Dynasty Analysis: Pickens has really stepped up with CeeDee Lamb out, quickly becoming the focal point of the passing offense in the process. He has now scored in five straight games and is currently on a hot streak that makes him one of the most valuable players in all of fantasy football. While this is a totally unsustainable pace, Pickens should still hold solid value when Lamb comes back, making him a solid hold in dynasty leagues.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens caught nine of his 11 targets for 168 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 6 loss to the Carolina Panthers. The interim No. 1 receiver certainly lived up to the hype, adequately filling for CeeDee Lamb (ankle) for the fourth week in a row. He has five consecutive games with a touchdown, totaling six trips to the end zone during that span. The former Steeler has quickly emerged as a top-six wide receiver in fantasy football thanks to his receiving skills, the great play of quarterback Dak Prescott, and the Cowboys' general ability to rack up yardage. Playing in a negative or even game script certainly doesn't hurt, either. Pickens should remain a viable WR1 option heading into Week 7 against the Washington Commanders.

Cowboys' WR George Pickens had 9 receptions for 168 yards with one touchdown in Sunday's loss in Carolina.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens had only two catches in the Week 5 win over the Jets. While Ryan Flournoy led the way with six receptions (nine targets), Pickens at least had a touchdown, finding the end zone off of a 43-yard pass from Dak Prescott in the third quarter. With CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and KaVontae Turpin (foot) sidelined, Prescott will need others to step up once again in the Week 6 meeting with the Panthers. Although that could mean continued added involvement from Flournoy and Jake Ferguson, who had two touchdowns versus New York, Pickens is still considered the No. 1 option on the depth chart against Carolina, making him worthy of a place in any fantasy lineup.
