George Pickens Looking To Score His First Touchdown of 2026 in Week 3

Saturday, September 26, 8:28 AM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens is looking to find the end zone for the first time in his 2026 NFL season after being held scoreless in his first two contests. He was expected to bust out the gates immediately with big performances in Week 1 and 2, but was held to just 68 yards receiving across those two games. It's been WR CeeDee Lamb that had a monster breakout game, in Week 2 against the Washington Commanders. The Cowboys face the Baltimore Ravens at home this week, who have a tougher pass defense than both the Cowboys' previous opponents. Pickens had good games last season against quality defenses, though, such as the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 12, against whom he caught all nine of his targets for 146 yards and one touchdown. While the former Pittsburgh Steeler might not live up to his ADP in fantasy football , he should still be started in all leagues for Week 3 as a WR2 with WR1 upside.

Jalen Coker Avoids Major Injury After Leaving Sunday

Monday, September 28, 7:19 AM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker (quad) suffered a minor quad strain in Sunday's loss to Cleveland, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Coker left early in the third quarter and did not return, finishing with two catches for 18 yards on 28 snaps. Rapoport said the injury is considered minor, though Coker is questionable for this week's game against Detroit. That's encouraging news after head coach Dave Canales said Sunday that Coker's quad had "lit up" and the pain wasn't going away. Brycen Tremayne stepped into a much bigger role once Coker exited, playing 62 snaps and catching four passes for 83 yards. He could stay involved if Coker isn't ready for Sunday night.
