George Pickens is a highlight reel waiting to happen. In Pittsburgh, he piled up over 2,800 yards and 12 touchdowns across three seasons despite some truly ugly QB play. The guy's a deep-ball wizard who can go up and get it. Now in Dallas, he's stepping into a potentially elite passing offense (when Prescott's healthy), playing alongside one of the league's top slot options in CeeDee Lamb.
Pickens might see fewer targets with Lamb around, but the trade-off is juicy: better QB play and more single coverage as defenses focus on Lamb. Early reports show him building chemistry with Prescott, and his skill set screams big plays. He's a high-upside WR2 who could deliver some serious spike weeks if he's able to get deep multiple times in the same game.
Draft Pickens as a WR2 with boom potential. He's a mid-round gem who could explode in this offense. His cost to acquire isn't high and with CeeDee Lamb having dealt with injuries in recent seasons, there's even the potential that he could get a few games where he's the primary offensive weapon for Prescott.

FFToday's Take: Pickens had a monster season in his first year with Dallas, finishing as the WR5 overall (half-PPR) with a 93-1429-9 line. He won't turn 25 years old until early March and gives the Cowboys a prime second option behind CeeDee Lamb. The franchise tag for wide receivers in 2026 will be worth around $28 million. A long-term deal is said to be desired by team owner Jerry Jones.
