George Pickens Off the Injury Report, Will Play Sunday

Friday, November 13, 12:42 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens (hamstring) upgraded to a full practice on Friday and has been removed from the final Week 10 injury report on Friday, according to Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Pickens will play on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. He was limited in all three practices last week before being held out of Sunday's Week 9 win against the Indianapolis Colts, and he was limited in the first two practices this week. With the news, fantasy managers should be putting the 25-year-old back in their starting lineups this weekend against San Fran. Pickens' return will be a boost for quarterback Dak Prescott and a downgrade for Ryan Flournoy, who had a disappointing showing against the Colts last weekend. Pickens has not been as dynamic or explosive so far in his second year in Dallas in 2026, but he still has 39 receptions for 533 yards and two touchdowns on 62 targets and could be in for a big game in his return to the lineup in Week 10. RotoBaller has Pickens ranked as the No. 21 fantasy receiver this weekend.

AJ Barner News

AJ Barner Not a Fantasy Starter Despite Big Week 9

Friday, November 13, 3:01 PM

Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner (finger) is not on the starting radar in Week 10 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Barner scored 15 fantasy points in Week 9 because he scored two touchdowns. However, one of those touchdowns came on the ground, which is a very unpredictable stat for a tight end. Barner's receiving volume remained low, as he only logged two receptions for seven yards and a touchdown. As long as Barner's volume remains that low, he will be extremely touchdown-dependent. Given the way Seattle utilizes Barner's skillset, he is a threat to score any time they enter the red zone, but with running back Zach Charbonnet back to full health, even those opportunities could wane. It is not advisable to chase the spike week. Instead, keep an eye on Barner's usage in the coming weeks to see if he receives an uptick. Otherwise, leave Barner on waivers.
