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.

Miami Dolphins WR Jalen Tolbert may be a candidate for the starting receiver job opposite WR Jaylen Waddle next season, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Marcel Louis-Jacques.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to see what the Dolphins to at receiver for the rest of the offseason, but it appears like Tolbert may have a solid role in the passing game in 2026. He could be a late round pick in some deeper leagues if he starts but is unlikely to be a starting option most weeks.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
