Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones stated on Tuesday, May 5, that the team remains steadfast that they will not trade WR George Pickens.
Huddle Up: Pickens is coming off the best year of his career in the Dallas offense. Even with the presence of CeeDee Lamb, Pickens remains a strong WR2 with WR1 flashes in some weeks.

Free-agent WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (Steelers) agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Dallas Cowboys Monday, April 27, according to a source. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: Valdes-Scantling will likely only have fantasy value if the Cowboys move on from George Pickens and will not be a starting option most weeks even if he has a solid role in the passing game.

Dallas Cowboys franchise free-agent WR George Pickens has not signed his tender offer at this point.
Huddle Up: It was reported that Pickens plans to sign the tender offer, but it seems like he has not signed at this time. The Cowboys will not be giving Pickens a contract extension, so his two options appear to be to sign the one-year deal or hold out. He is a weekly starting option in all leagues when he plays but may be a risky option because of his contract situation.

Dallas Cowboys franchise free-agent WR George Pickens is planning to sign his one-year tender offer, according to a source.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation because Pickens can be traded now that he signed his tender offer. He will be a starting receiver no matter where he plays in 2026 and will be at least a No. 2 receiver in fantasy leagues.

Dallas Cowboys franchise free-agent WR George Pickens will not be offered a long-term contract at this point and will have to play on his one-year tender in 2026, according to executive vice president Stephen Jones.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see when Pickens will report to the team since he may decide to hold out for a while because of his contract situation. He is a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues but is a risky option at this point because of his uncertain status.

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott said he has been working out with WR George Pickens this offseason.
Huddle Up: Pickens received the franchise tag this offseason, but it is not known when he will sign his tender offer. Prescott and Pickens showed a terrific connection in 2025 and will both be weekly starting options in all leagues if Pickens is ready for Week 1.

Dallas Cowboys director of player personnel Stephen Jones told the media that the team has received "no one call" regarding WR George Pickens.
Huddle Up: Pickens projects as someone who will be a top target in the Cowboys' offense in 2026. He remains on the franchise tag, but can be a WR2 based on his production we have seen with the team previously.

Dallas Cowboys franchise free-agent WR George Pickens' participation in offseason workouts is uncertain at this point, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
Huddle Up: There is a good chance that Pickens sits out while he waits for a long-term contract, so fantasy players should not expect him to take part in offseason workouts. He is a big part of the Cowboys and will be a weekly starting option in all leagues when he plays.

Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb will likely be asked to restructure his contract this offseason so the team can create some salary cap space.
Huddle Up: Lamb missed some time this season because of injury but was still able to post his fifth straight 1,000-yard season. He will continue to see a good amount of targets even with George Pickens expected back and can be a No. 1 or No. 2 receiver in fantasy leagues.

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott will likely be asked to restructure his contract this offseason so the team can create some salary cap space.
Huddle Up: Prescott is coming off a productive 2025 season and should have most of his pass catchers back next season. He will likely be No. 1 quarterback in all fantasy leagues next season.

Dallas Cowboys WR George Pickens will receive the franchise tag Friday, Feb. 27.
Huddle Up: Pickens was the WR5 in PPR leagues after a 93-1429-9 monsterous campaign. He'll continue to be a mid-to-low WR1 option in fantasy as he still eyes a long-term deal.

Dallas Cowboys WR George Pickens will reportedly have his franchise tag finalized this week, according to the Cowboys' director of player personnel and co-owner Stephen Jones.
Huddle Up: Pickens had a monster 2025 season, where he was a top-five fantasy wide receiver and averaged 17.2 fantasy points per game. As one half of a wide receiver tandem including CeeDee Lamb, Pickens was expected to receive a franchise tag or hit free agency, where he would see a robust market for his services. Now that he's expected to stay a Cowboy for at least this upcoming season, Pickens should be considered a low-end WR1 for fantasy purposes. He may not put up career-highs in all receiving statistics like Pickens did last season, but he has a stable floor of production plus an immense ceiling in a high-flying Dallas offense with Dak Prescott leading the charge.

Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams agreed to terms on a new three-year contract with the Cowboys worth $24 million, according to sources. The deal includes $16 million in guaranteed money.
Huddle Up: Williams had a terrific 2025 season with the Cowboys and finished ninth in the NFL with 1,201 rushing yards and eighth in the NFL with 11 rushing touchdowns. He should see most of the work in the running game next season and can be a No. 2 running back in fantasy leagues.

Updating a previous report, Dallas Cowboys impending free-agent WR George Pickens is expected to receive the franchise tag this offseason, but a sign-and-trade is still a possible option for Pickens, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo.
Huddle Up: Pickens was one of the top receivers in the NFL and should see a significant raise next season no matter where he plays in 2026. Fantasy players can monitor the situation this offseason, but Pickens will be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Dallas Cowboys WR George Pickens and owner Jerry Jones have been discussing a contract extension, according to Jones, and Jones said he is "looking forward to getting things worked out" with Pickens.
Huddle Up: Pickens excelled in his first season in Dallas, and while the Cowboys would like to work out a long-term deal, there is a chance that Pickens could play on the franchise tag next season. As long as Pickens is back in Dallas in 2026, he should be a WR2 with WR1 upside.

Dallas Cowboys impending free-agent WR George Pickens said he would like to return to the Cowboys next season but believes his value has went up after his 2025 season.
Huddle Up: The Cowboys will likely try to sign Pickens to a long-term contract before the start of free agency, but he will be a strong candidate to receive the franchise tag if a deal is not reached in time. He will be a starter no matter where he plays and can be at least a No. 2 receiver in fantasy leagues.

Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams recorded 25 broken tackles during the 2025 regular season, which ranked second in the NFL in that category.
Huddle Up: Williams was main running back for the Cowboys this season and ranked in the top 10 in rushing yards (1,201) and rushing touchdowns (11). He is scheduled to be a free agent this offseason and could receive interest from multiple teams. He will likely see a majority of the carries no matter where he plays and can be a No. 2 or No. 3 running back in fantasy leagues.

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott was blitzed 163 times during the 2025 regular season, which ranked second in the NFL.
Huddle Up: Prescott had two of the top receivers in the NFL this season and ranked third in the NFL with 4,552 passing yards and fourth in the league with 30 passing touchdowns. He should be a No. 1 quarterback in fantasy leagues next season.

Dallas Cowboys WR George Pickens, who is set to become a free agent, is expected to receive the franchise tag, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, but the belief is that Pickens will be seeking a "long-term deal." If the Cowboys don't sign him to a long-term contract, some believe Pickens will stay away from the team "for a large portion of the offseason or even training camp." Pickens can further apply pressure by refusing to sign the franchise tag.
Huddle Up: Pickens is coming off a career year, and if he's back in Dallas his fantasy value should remain high. A contract dispute would certainly muddy the waters, though, so we'll see how it plays out, especially with Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb already earning top-of-the-market contracts.

Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue said his lack of consistency in practice played a role in his sporadic playing time this season. "I'm trusting my coaches, and just making sure I'm working because, at this level, talent isn't everything," Blue said. "I have to make sure I'm putting in work so that I can continue to have those opportunities."
Huddle Up: Blue handled just 38 carries all year, but when give a chance for extended playing time in the season finale, he delivered 64 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. Assuming Dallas is able to re-sign Javonte Williams, he will be the starter, but Blue made a case to be the primary backup in 2026.

Dallas Cowboys impending free-agent WR George Pickens is believed to be a likely candidate for the franchise tag this offseason, according to ESPN.com's Dan Graziano.
Huddle Up: Pickens is coming off a tremendous 2025 season, so the Cowboys will likely try to keep him either with a new contract or the franchise tag. He will be at least a No. 2 receiver in fantasy leagues if he remains with the Cowboys.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling caught five passes for 34 yards against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18. He was targeted seven times.
Huddle Up: Valdes-Scantling was the de facto field stretcher with DK Metcalf suspended, but it didn't result in much production. With Metcalf back for next Monday's Wild Card tilt with Houston, MVS holds no appeal for DFS players.

Dallas Cowboys WR Ryan Flournoy caught five of seven targets for 68 yards in a Week 18 loss to the New York Giants.
Huddle Up: Flournoy wrested the slot position away from Jalen Tolbert and others over the second half of the season, posting two games of 100+ yards and scoring four touchdowns on 40 receptions for 475 yards. His role should increase next season and he should be considered as a WR3 or flex option in deep leagues.

Dallas Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson caught one of two targets for five yards in a Week 18 loss to the New York Giants.
Huddle Up: Ferguson cooled off after a fast start - 51 receptions for 334 yards and six touchdowns in his first seven games - but still finished with 82 grabs for 600 yards and eight touchdowns. His start to the 2025 season will make him a consideration for a low-end TE1 heading into 2026.

Dallas Cowboys WR George Pickens caught one of three targets for nine yards in a Week 18 loss to the New York Giants.
Huddle Up: Pickens, who didn't play in the second half, finished the best season of his career with 93 receptions for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns - all easily career highs. Pickens is a free agent, one that Jerry Jones will certainly want to bring back, but there is no guarantee Pickens will return based on Jones' recent negotiations. Both Dak Prescott's and CeeDee Lamb's fantasy value will be tied to Pickens' decision.

Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb caught his only target for four yards in a Week 18 loss to the New York Giants.
Huddle Up: Lamb, who didn't play in the second half, finished the season with 75 receptions - fewest since 74 in his rookie campaign - for 1,077 yards and a career-low three TDs. He missed three games due to injury and lost some targets to George Pickens and Jake Ferguson, but he'll remain a WR1 heading into next season regardless of whether or not Pickens re-signs with the Cowboys.

Dallas Cowboys RB Phil Mafah carried five times for 18 yards with a touchdown in a Week 18 loss to the New York Giants.
Huddle Up: The rookie from Clemson was hurt most of the season but got a chance to play in the finale. He'll likely battle Malik Davis and Jaydon Blue for carries behind Javonte Williams in 2026 training camp.
