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.

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.
Posted 1/04/2026 9:57 pm GMT
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.
Posted 1/04/2026 9:49 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue carried 16 times for 64 yards and his first career touchdown in a Week 18 loss to the New York Giants.
Huddle Up: Blue entered the game with 65 yards on 22 carries for the entire season, so he made a good case for a backup role in Dallas heading into 2026. Blue actually ended the first half with over 70 yards, as he ripped off four runs of 10+ yards - but was bottled up in the second half.
Posted 1/04/2026 7:42 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott completed 7-of-11 passes for 70 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in the Week 18 game against the New York Giants before giving way to QB Joe Milton III for the second half.
Huddle Up: There is nothing at stake for the Cowboys, or either of these teams, and this is the danger with playing fantasy championship games in Week 18, or using certain players on eliminated teams in DFS. There are so many landmines, with players being held out, resting early, etc. Prescott will be back in 2026, and he should be a low-end QB1 again for most fantasy managers.
Posted 1/03/2026 6:29 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys RB Phil Mafah (shoulder) was activated from the Reserve/Injured Designated to Return list on Saturday, Jan. 3. He is expected to join RB Jaydon Blue in the backfield for the Week 18 game against the New York Giants with RBs Javonte Williams and Malik Davis out for the finale.
Huddle Up: There are a lot of fantasy managers going crazy over Blue's potential against the Giants, but Mafah could also get a long look. It might be a hot-hand situation, where one tailback is leaned upon heavily. Mafah is a player who isn't necessarily worth trusting in redraft fantasy leagues if you have a championship game in Week 18, but he is worth a roll of the dice in DFS play.
Posted 1/03/2026 6:20 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue is expected to start in Week 18 against the New York Giants. He last appeared in Week 8 against the Denver Broncos, and he has posted 65 rushing yards on 22 carries, or 3.0 yards per carry, with no touchdowns through four games.
Huddle Up: Blue is an intriguing option for fantasy managers playing in their championships in Week 18, and he is a sensational DFS option for the finale. However, don't get too carried away. While Javonte Williams is on IR, and Malik Davis has been ruled out, Blue is likely to split the workload with Phil Mafah, who is also an option to see his share of the backfield touches.
Posted 1/03/2026 6:13 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams (neck, shoulder) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list on Saturday, Jan. 3. He finished the season with a career highs of 1,201 rushing yards, 4.8 rushing yards per carry and 11 touchdowns across 16 games.
Huddle Up: Williams had his first 1,000-yard game for The Star, but he was used differently than in the past. He was more of a change-of-pace back in Denver, while catching the ball more out of the backfield. Heading into 2026, should personnel remain generally the same, he would be an attractive RB2 or flex fantasy play. Jaydon Blue will get a look in Week 18, as Malik Davis is also sidelined for the regular-season finale.
Posted 1/02/2026 8:40 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR KaVontae Turpin (foot, shoulder) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 2, and is not on the injury report for Week 18.
Huddle Up: Turpin may see a few touches in both the running game and passing game this week but is unlikely to be a starting option in most fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/02/2026 8:37 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Ryan Flournoy (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 2, and is not on the injury report for Week 18.
Huddle Up: Flournoy is set to return after a one-game absence and should see a handful of targets against the New York Giants. He can be a possible flex option in some leagues but can be avoided in a majority of leagues.
Posted 1/02/2026 8:34 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (calf) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 2, and is not on the injury report for Week 18.
Huddle Up: Ferguson suffered the injury in the last game but should not have any limitations during the regular season finale. He has been held to under 20 receiving yards in each of the last three games but can still be a possible low-end No. 1 tight end in some deeper leagues.
Posted 1/02/2026 8:31 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams (neck, shoulder) did not participate in practice Friday, Jan. 2, and has been ruled out for Week 18.
Huddle Up: Jaydon Blue is in line for a big role in the offense this week with both Williams and Malik Davis ruled out. He has rushed for only 65 yards on 22 carries in his limited playing time this season but can be at least a flex option in most leagues.
Posted 1/02/2026 8:28 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys RB Malik Davis (calf, eye) did not participate in practice Friday, Jan. 2, and has been ruled out for Week 18.
Huddle Up: The Cowboys will be without their top two running backs for the finale, so Jaydon Blue is the leading candidate to see most of the work in the running game. He can be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/02/2026 7:44 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys G T.J. Bass (knee), RB Malik Davis (calf, eye), LB DeMarvion Overshown (concussion), CB Shavon Revel (concussion, neck), and RB Javonte Williams (shoulder, neck) did not practice on Friday, Jan. 2, and have been ruled out for Week 18 against the New York Giants. CB Josh Butler (knee), RB Phil Mafah (shoulder), and DE Payton Turner (ribs) practiced in full on Friday and are listed as questionable. G Tyler Booker (ankle), Caelen Carson (hamstring), DL Kenny Clark (hand), TE Jake Ferguson (calf), WR Ryan Flournoy (knee), G Tyler Smith (knee), WR KaVontae Turpin (shoulder, foot), DL Quinnen Williams (neck), S Donovan Wilson (hip), and DL Perrion Winfrey (personal) practiced in full on Friday and no longer appear on the injury report.
Posted 12/31/2025 10:10 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR KaVontae Turpin (shoulder, foot) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Dec. 31.
Huddle Up: Turpin caught an 86-yard touchdown last week but has been targeted two times or less in six of his last seven games. He has some fantasy value because of his big-play ability but can be avoided in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 12/31/2025 10:07 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys WR Ryan Flournoy (knee) was limited during practice Wednesday, Dec. 31.
Huddle Up: Flournoy was not able to play in the last game but seems to have a chance to return to the lineup in Week 18. He became more involved in the passing game before the injury and can be a possible flex option in leagues if he plays.
Posted 12/31/2025 10:04 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (calf) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 31.
Huddle Up: Ferguson is recovering from an injury he suffered last week, so he may be considered questionable for the final game of the season depending on his recovery. He is usually a low-end No. 1 tight end in most leagues when healthy but is a risky option this week.
Posted 12/31/2025 9:59 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys RB Malik Davis (calf, eye) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 31.
Huddle Up: Davis is coming off his best game of the season, but his status for Week 18 is uncertain at this point. He will likely see a limited workload if he is active since Javonte Williams seems to be on track for the game. He can be a possible flex option in some leagues if cleared to play.
Posted 12/30/2025 7:41 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue could see some snaps in Week 18, according to owner/general manager Jerry Jones.
Huddle Up: Blue is likely to see chances due to the injuries to Malik Davis and Javonte Williams. This will give the Cowboys a chance to see what they have in the rookie running back heading into 2026.
Posted 12/29/2025 8:19 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (calf) has not been ruled out of the Week 18 game at this time, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor Ferguson's practice participation during the week to see if he will have a chance to play in the finale. He is a solid part of the passing game when healthy and can be a low-end No. 1 tight end if he is able to play.
Posted 12/29/2025 8:13 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams (shoulder) has not been ruled out of the Week 18 game at this time, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
Huddle Up: Williams suffered the injury during the last game, so fantasy players will need to see what he is able to do during practice this week. He has been one of the better running backs in the NFL this season and can be a starting option in all leagues if he is active.
Posted 12/29/2025 7:58 pm GMT
Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott will play in the Week 18 game, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
Huddle Up: The Cowboys have been eliminated from playoff contention, but Prescott will still see his normal workload during the game. He leads the league in passing yards and has thrown at least two touchdowns in five of his last seven games. He will be a No. 1 quarterback in all fantasy leagues.
