Malik Davis, Malik Davis Locked in as Cowboys Backup RB?

Dallas Cowboys running back Malik Davis has been active for the last five games, mostly contributing on special teams. However, Davis has seen a slight uptick in playing time on offense in the past two games. After playing just 10 snaps total and handling three carries for six yards in his first three games active on gameday, the 26-year-old has played 25 snaps total and rushed seven times for 44 carries in the past two weeks. Davis noticeably has a bit more explosiveness than starter Javonte Williams and adds a useful change-of-pace element to the Cowboys ' backfield. He had three carries for 24 yards in Dallas' comeback win over the Eagles in Week 12, reaching 15+ mph on two of those carries, per Next Gen Stats. Davis looks like the clear handcuff to Williams at the moment and is stashing on benches in 12-team leagues and deeper.

KaVontae Turpin, KaVontae Turpin Returns to Practice on Tuesday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin (illness, shoulder) was back at practice on a limited basis on Tuesday due to an illness and a shoulder injury, per The Athletic's Jon Machota. Turpin's return to the practice field on Tuesday after being a DNP on Monday is a sign that he's trending towards being available on Thanksgiving on Thursday versus the Kansas City Chiefs. The 29-year-old caught one pass for a 48-yard pickup on two targets in Sunday's win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Turpin is more of an asset for Dallas as a kick returner on special teams. He has not caught more than two passes in a game since Sept. 28 against the Green Bay Packers, and his only score on offense in 2025 came back on Sept. 14 versus the New York Giants. If active on Thursday against KC, Turpin isn't a realistic starting option in fantasy football lineups.

George Pickens, George Pickens Officially Limited at Tuesday's Practice

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens (calf, knee) was officially listed as limited at Tuesday's practice, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. Pickens was estimated as a non-participant on Monday, so it's an upgrade for the 24-year-old's status heading into Thursday's Thanksgiving Day game against the visiting Kansas City Chiefs in Week 13. Pickens is a little banged up with multiple injuries, but he's fully expected to play this week and should remain locked into all fantasy football lineups as Dallas' No. 1 wideout in 2025. Pickens brings a 67-1,054-8 line into Thursday's game on 92 targets in his first year with the Cowboys. The matchup against the Chiefs is not ideal, but Pickens is a must-start as the WR2 in half-PPR scoring this year.

George Pickens, George Pickens Practicing Tuesday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens (knee/calf) will practice on Tuesday after being listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report. Pickens was banged up during the team's Week 12 win over the Eagles, spending a few snaps on the sideline, but he was able to return to action and ultimately ended the game with nine receptions for 146 yards and a touchdown. Pickens has been a fantasy MVP this season, currently the overall WR2, and he has recently put to rest any fears that the return of All-Pro CeeDee Lamb would eat into his ceiling potential. Playing in another island game on Thanksgiving, Pickens remains a strong WR1 play in Week 13, even against a stifling Kansas City defense.

KaVontae Turpin, KaVontae Turpin Misses Practice on Monday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin (shoulder, illness) was listed as a non-participant during Monday's practice session. Turpin played his highest snap count since Week 4 during Sunday's win over the Philadelphia Eagles. It appears the 29-year-old picked up a pair of issues along the way. He'll get a few more days to get healthy before Thursday's Thanksgiving matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The absence of Turpin could mean more playing time for Jalen Tolbert, who was a healthy scratch this past weekend.
