George Pickens Offers Week-Winning Upside on Thursday Night Against Detroit

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens has already posted career highs in receptions (73), receiving yards (1,142), and touchdowns in 12 games this season. Pickens has been a seamless fit in his first year with the Cowboys and has formed one of the most dynamic wide receiver duos in the league with CeeDee Lamb. The 24-year-old was limited in practice on Monday with calf and knee injuries, but he has been cleared from the injury report and is all set to play Thursday night against the Detroit Lions. It's a dream matchup for the former Pittsburgh Steeler, as Detroit has played man coverage at a league-high 42.8% clip this season. Pickens has arguably been the best receiver against man coverage this season, leading all players by a wide margin with 463 yards against man, per Fantasy Points Data. In a matchup featuring the highest projected point total of the week, Pickens profiles as one of the best wide receivers in fantasy football in Week 14.

George Pickens Off Injury Report, Good to Go for Thursday Night

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens (calf, knee) has been cleared from the injury report and will play Thursday night against the Detroit Lions, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Pickens was listed as a limited participant on Monday with multiple injuries, but he was upgraded to full on Tuesday. The 24-year-old has excelled in his first season in Dallas, recording 73 receptions for 1,142 yards and eight touchdowns on 105 targets in 12 games. He is one of just three wide receivers to already clear 1,000 yards, along with Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Puka Nacua. Pickens again profiles as an elite fantasy football option in a matchup with the highest projected point total of the week versus the Lions on Thursday night.

George Pickens Upgrades to Full Practice on Tuesday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens (calf, knee) upgraded to a full practice on Tuesday, according to Todd Archer of ESPN Dallas. Pickens is on the injury report for the second straight week with multiple injuries and was listed as limited on Monday. The 24-year-old was removed from last week's injury report and played 74% of the offensive snaps in the win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day last Thursday, hauling in six of a season-high 13 targets for 88 yards. Pickens has taken off with his move to Dallas and currently is the WR2 in half-PPR scoring through 13 weeks with 73 receptions on 105 targets for 1,142 yards and eight touchdowns in 12 games. He's tied for seventh among all wideouts (with Justin Jefferson) in targets (105), is tied for fifth in receptions (with Chris Olave and Wan'Dale Robinson), and is second in the NFL in receiving yards. Pickens should be active on Thursday and is a must-start against the Detroit Lions in Week 14.

George Pickens Listed as Limited on Monday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens (calf, knee) was listed as limited on the team's practice report on Monday with calf and knee injuries, according to Todd Archer of ESPN. It's the second straight week that Pickens has been on Dallas' injury report with multiple injuries. The 24-year-old was working through calf and knee ailments last week, too, but he was ultimately cleared for the Thanksgiving Day win over the Kansas City Chiefs and caught six of a season-high 13 targets for 88 receiving yards. He took a back seat to teammate CeeDee Lamb in that one, but he could easily bounce back for better production this Thursday night against a Lions defense that hasn't stopped much of anything in recent weeks. Fantasy managers should have Pickens locked into starting lineups in Week 14 for what should be a high-scoring affair.

Cowboys Looking to Retain George Pickens for 2026 and Beyond

The Dallas Cowboys are looking to retain wide receiver George Pickens for 2026 and beyond. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones does not want Pickens playing elsewhere in 2026. "We've got two No. 1 wide receivers," said Jones. Pickens was acquired by the Cowboys this offseason and has been excellent for Dallas in 2025. The 24-year-old has racked up 67 catches for 1,054 yards and eight touchdowns over 11 games. He is set to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2025 season as he's in the final year of his rookie deal. The Cowboys could also place the franchise tag on Pickens if they are unable to agree on a contract extension. Pickens is a low-end WR1 in dynasty if he remains in Dallas, where the Cowboys are looking to extend and sign the former Steeler to a long-term deal. Pickens will look to keep things rolling against the Chiefs on Thanksgiving.

George Pickens Expected to Play Thursday Against the Chiefs

Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports on Wednesday that, despite being limited by calf and knee injuries in practice this week, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens (calf, knee) is expected to play on Thanksgiving against the Kansas City Chiefs, per a source. Pickens popped up on the injury report earlier this week, which caused some stress for Cowboy fans and Pickens' fantasy owners. Still, leading up to the Thanksgiving matchup against the Chiefs, it appears that Pickens will be good to go and can be started confidently as a WR1. Pickens has been spectacular in 2025, heading for career highs, and currently has 1,054 receiving yards and eight touchdowns on 67 receptions through 11 games. Even with CeeDee Lamb returning from injury after missing three weeks earlier in the season, Pickens has continued to produce at an extremely high level and has now scored more than 10 fantasy points in half PPR leagues in all but one game this season, which was Week 1 in his first game as a Cowboy. That puts him at the WR2 overall on the season in fantasy points scored in half PPR leagues, only behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

George Pickens Officially Limited at Tuesday's Practice

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens (calf, knee) was officially listed as limited at Tuesday's practice, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. Pickens was estimated as a non-participant on Monday, so it's an upgrade for the 24-year-old's status heading into Thursday's Thanksgiving Day game against the visiting Kansas City Chiefs in Week 13. Pickens is a little banged up with multiple injuries, but he's fully expected to play this week and should remain locked into all fantasy football lineups as Dallas' No. 1 wideout in 2025. Pickens brings a 67-1,054-8 line into Thursday's game on 92 targets in his first year with the Cowboys. The matchup against the Chiefs is not ideal, but Pickens is a must-start as the WR2 in half-PPR scoring this year.

George Pickens Practicing Tuesday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens (knee/calf) will practice on Tuesday after being listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report. Pickens was banged up during the team's Week 12 win over the Eagles, spending a few snaps on the sideline, but he was able to return to action and ultimately ended the game with nine receptions for 146 yards and a touchdown. Pickens has been a fantasy MVP this season, currently the overall WR2, and he has recently put to rest any fears that the return of All-Pro CeeDee Lamb would eat into his ceiling potential. Playing in another island game on Thanksgiving, Pickens remains a strong WR1 play in Week 13, even against a stifling Kansas City defense.

George Pickens Limited With Multiple Injuries on Monday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens (calf, knee) was listed as a limited participant on Monday on the team's estimated injury report, according to The Athletic's Jon Machota. According to head coach Brian Schottenheimer, Pickens is dealing with a sore shin after Sunday's comeback victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. The 24-year-old is also listed with calf and knee injuries, so fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on his status going into Thursday's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day. The expectation is that Pickens will be ready to roll in Week 13, where he should once again be heavily targeted in the passing game. Pickens leads Dallas in catches (67), targets (92), receiving yards (1,054), and touchdowns (eight) in his first year with the team. If active on Thursday, Pickens is a must-start in fantasy despite the tough matchup.

George Pickens at the Center of Cowboys Offense Once Again

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens caught all nine of his targets for 146 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The 24-year-old has drastically exceeded expectations in his first season with Dallas; not only does he have higher stats than superstar teammate CeeDee Lamb, but he's also been more productive than nearly every receiver in the league. He currently ranks as the overall WR3 in PPR leagues this season, and he shows no signs of slowing down. Pickens' next chance of producing will come in Week 13 against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving. He continues to be a must-start WR1 in all fantasy leagues despite Kansas City allowing the second-fewest points to wide receivers this year.
