Camden Brown, Camden Brown "Seems Like a Lock" to Make Cowboys Roster

Dallas Cowboys rookie Camden Brown has made highlight catches "pretty much every practice" and "seems like a lock" to make the team's 53-man roster, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. An undrafted free agent signee out of Georgia Southern, Brown recorded 65 catches for 1,079 yards and 14 touchdowns across 13 games in his final collegiate season. He was one of the stars of Dallas' first preseason game last Saturday, catching three passes for 62 yards and two touchdowns. Between wideouts CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Ryan Flournoy, and KaVontae Turpin, the Cowboys have both high-end talent and depth in their wide receiver room. Still, it appears that Brown is forcing his way into the discussion in Dallas with his play so far this summer. Particularly in deeper leagues and dynasty formats, Brown could be a name for fantasy managers to be aware of entering 2026.

Israel Abanikanda, Israel Abanikanda Exceeding Expectations in Cowboys Camp

Dallas Cowboys running back Israel Abanikanda has exceeded expectations in training camp so far, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. Abanikanda has not appeared in an NFL game since his rookie season in 2023, when he recorded 113 scrimmage yards on 29 touches across six games with the New York Jets. He spent the final portion of the 2025 season on the Cowboys' practice squad and is now competing for a spot on the team's 53-man roster this summer. Dallas has a clear leader in the backfield in running back Javonte Williams. However, the team's RB2 job appears to be an open competition between Jaydon Blue (shoulder), Malik Davis, and Phil Mafah. With all three of those players largely unproven as NFL contributors, Abanikanda may have a chance to work his way into the mix for the Cowboys. In deeper league formats, Abanikanda may be a name for fantasy managers to keep an eye on throughout the remainder of the preseason.

Malik Davis, Malik Davis Refuses to Go Away in Dallas' Backfield

Dallas Cowboys running back Malik Davis looked like the forgotten man in this backfield earlier in camp. He's making that harder to justify now. Davis led Dallas with 39 yards on seven carries in the preseason opener, and Brian Schottenheimer praised his vision and feel for the blocking scheme afterward. He was also the first back on the field after Javonte Williams during team work earlier this week. Davis has handled a bigger load before. When Williams went down in Week 17 last season, the 5-foot-10, 205-pound back ran 20 times for 103 yards. He finished the year with 250 yards and two touchdowns on 52 carries. Dallas' unofficial depth chart still has Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah ahead of him, so Davis hasn't won the backup job. Blue's shoulder issue and Mafah's recent injury have given him another opening, though, and he's taking advantage of it. RotoBaller has Davis at RB92 in PPR. He's outside normal redraft range, but this backup race is a lot less settled than it looked earlier in camp.

George Pickens, George Pickens Continues to Stand Out in Cowboys Camp

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens has been one of the biggest standouts of training camp, and Dak Prescott says it is exactly what he expected. Jon Machota reports that no Cowboys player has stood out more this summer. Prescott praised Pickens for his energy, catches and playmaking, then pointed to the different ways Dallas can use him alongside CeeDee Lamb. Pickens is coming off a career year in his first season with the Cowboys, finishing with 93 receptions for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns. He is playing 2026 on the franchise tag, but there has been no sign of that affecting his work. Dallas has seen Pickens make plays throughout camp, and Prescott believes the next step is figuring out how he and Lamb can stress defenses together, including using one to create openings for the other. Pickens already proved he can produce at a high level in this offense. Nothing from camp suggests that is about to change.

KaVontae Turpin, KaVontae Turpin to See Reduced Receiving Role in 2026?

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver and returner KaVontae Turpin could see a reduced role in 2026. In 2025, Turpin caught 26 of 38 targets for 396 yards and two touchdowns in 15 games, averaging 4.8 half-PPR fantasy points per game. With a career-high 36% snap share, Turpin is likely to see that number decrease in 2026. With CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens as the two top receivers, third-year receiver Ryan Flournoy has had a strong camp and should see an increased workload in 2026. Flournoy had 475 receiving yards and four touchdowns in 16 games while playing 44% of the snaps. If his role improves, Turpin could be phased out as an outside receiver and used more as a gadget weapon and returner. Currently ranked as the WR108 in RotoBaller's positional rankings, Turpin is well outside fantasy relevance for the 2026 season.
