Pickens caught one of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Giants. He finishes the 2025 season with 93 catches for 1,423 yards and nine touchdowns on 137 targets.

EDGE Analysis

Pickens didn't add much to his career high totals in catches, receiving yards and touchdowns before the Cowboys took out their key offensive starters at halftime. The 24-year-old wide receiver is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, though the Cowboys are expected to retain Pickens, either through an extension or with the franchise tag. Pickens posted the best season of his career after being acquired from the Steelers in an offseason trade, but Dallas failed to reach the playoffs with a 7-9-1 record.

Pickens caught four of five targets for 78 yards in the Cowboys' 30-23 win over the Commanders on Christmas Day.

EDGE Analysis

Despite the limited looks, the star wideout finished second on Dallas in receiving yards, topped only by KaVontae Turpin, who turned his only catch into an 86-yard touchdown. The five targets represented Pickens' lowest volume since Week 5, but Thursday's production did put him over 90 catches and 1,400 yards on the season -- the first time he's reached either mark in his career. He'll look to finish the year on a high note ahead of his potential free agency this offseason in a Week 18 clash with the Giants.

Pickens caught seven of nine targets for 130 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

After a three-game stretch in which Pickens had posted a 14-158-0 line on 28 targets while CeeDee Lamb took center stage in the Cowboys' aerial attack, Pickens surged back to the forefront Sunday, capping his fifth 100-yard performance of the season with a 38-yard TD strike from Dak Prescott in the second quarter. Pickens has already put together a career-best campaign with 88 catches on 129 targets for 1,342 yards and nine touchdowns, and he'll look to stay locked in against the Commanders in Week 17.

Pickens recorded three receptions on six targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

Pickens was scrutinized throughout the week after a poor Week 14 performance, and he didn't fare any better in Sunday night's loss to the Vikings. His six targets were his fewest since Week 7, and his yardage the lowest since Week 1. A Week 16 matchup against the Chargers isn't the ideal matchup for him to get back on track, though Pickens has managed to excel in tough matchups throughout the season.

Pickens brought in five of nine targets for 37 yards in the Cowboys' 44-30 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.

EDGE Analysis

It was a largely forgettable night for Pickens, who somehow finished with his lowest yardage total since Week 1 on a night when Dak Prescott threw for a season-high 376 yards on 47 pass attempts and CeeDee Lamb left the game early in the second half due to a concussion. Pickens did reach the five-catch threshold for the sixth straight game, but he also had a ball bounce off his hands on the first play of the second half that resulted in a Lions interception. Pickens also appeared have a chance to come down with a deep throw from Prescott just before the two-minute warning but never appeared to make an attempt to catch the ball, and he'd been flagged for a facemask penalty earlier in the contest as well to wipe out a reception. Naturally, the good has far outweighed the bad when it comes to Pickens' debut Cowboys campaign, but he'll need to bounce back in a Week 15 home matchup against the Vikings on Sunday night, Dec. 14, especially if Lamb remains out.

Pickens (calf/knee) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game at Detroit, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

For the second week in a row, Pickens was listed with calf and knee injuries, which limited him at Monday's practice. He followed up that capped session with a full practice Tuesday and full walkthrough Wednesday, clearing him for Week 14 action. Pickens has continued to be a menace to opposing defenses since the Cowboys' Week 10 bye, gathering in 24 of 33 targets for 378 yards and two touchdowns over the last three contests.

Pickens (calf/knee) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dallas listed Pickens as a non-participant and a limited participant on two of their practice reports last week while he dealt with the same two injuries, but he proceeded to play 53 snaps in the Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day win over the Chiefs and finished with six catches for 88 yards on a season-high 13 targets. Now that he's already achieved a full listing on Dallas' second practice report of Week 14, Pickens is seemingly in a better spot on the health front heading into Thursday's game against the Lions. On the heels of another big game, Pickens looks like a must-start option versus a leaky Detroit defense that lost one of its starting cornerbacks in Terrion Arnold (shoulder) to a season-ending injury in Week 13.

Pickens (calf/knee) was limited in Monday's practice, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pickens had his practice reps limited last week with the same injuries and ultimately didn't carry an injury designation into last Thursday's win over the Chiefs. He ended up drawing a season-high 13 targets against Kansas City, turning in a 6-88-0 receiving line on 74 percent of the offensive snaps. He should be fine for Thursday night's game against the Lions.

Pickens caught six of 13 targets for 88 yards in Thursday's 31-28 win over Kansas City. He also caught a two-point conversion.

EDGE Analysis

The 13 targets led the Cowboys, but Pickens otherwise took a back seat to CeeDee Lamb and his 7-112-1 line on nine looks from Dak Prescott. Pickens was on the other end of Prescott's two-point conversion toss in the fourth quarter, however. The fourth-year wideout has already established a new career high with 1,142 receiving yards on the season in only 12 games, and he'll look to keep padding his totals ahead of potential free agency in the spring in a Week 14 clash with the Lions.

Pickens (knee/calf) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game against the Chiefs, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pickens opened the week as a non-participant at Monday's walkthrough due to knee and calf injuries, but he followed it up with Tuesday's limited practice and Wednesday's full walkthrough, which was enough for the Cowboys to clear him with a quick turnaround between games. Since the team's Week 10 bye, he's reeled off 18 catches (on 20 targets) for 290 yards and two touchdowns over the last two contests, making him an easy plug and play for fantasy purposes.
