George Pickens News
Tuesday, June 16, 5:15 PM
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens confirmed that he won't hold out during training camp. Pickens didn't attend voluntary OTAs while he continues to seek a long-term extension. Pickens has ended his holdout and officially signed his $27.3 million franchise tender for the upcoming season. He will play on the franchise tag with no long-term extension in sight. Pickens could very well be headed elsewhere next season, but he's ready to help the Cowboys until then. Last season, Pickens finished with 93 receptions, 1,429 receiving yards, and nine touchdowns. He's expected to get a hefty payday, whether it's in Dallas or somewhere else next season.

Khalil Shakir News
Sunday, June 14, 5:10 PM
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir has arguably been his team's most consistent pass-catcher over the past two years, averaging 74 catches, 770 receiving yards, and four touchdowns on 97 targets per season. Particularly in PPR-scoring formats, Shakir's reliability and consistency allow him to provide fantasy managers with a safe production floor. However, his upside is also limited by his lack of downfield ability, as he averaged just 10 yards per reception and 7.6 yards per target in 2025. Additionally, Shakir's target volume in Buffalo may be trending in the wrong direction following the team's offseason acquisition of veteran wide receiver DJ Moore. If the Bills get strong production from Moore and a healthier season from tight end Dalton Kincaid, Shakir could be siloed to a complementary role in the team's passing game. Given his limited ceiling and the shifting environment around Shakir in Buffalo, dynasty managers may want to explore selling high on him ahead of 2026.
