George Pickens Practices in Full, Says He's Playing Monday Night

Friday, October 23, 1:32 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens (shoulder) said his shoulder is good after upgrading to a full practice on Friday, and he will play on Monday night against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles in Week 7, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. "I'm doing what they're telling me to do. So, (keep) doing what they tell me to do," Pickens said when he was asked about what he needs to do to get more involved early in games. The 25-year-old was eased in on Thursday and was listed as a limited participant in practice. Pickens has taken a back seat to CeeDee Lamb so far in 2026 after a career year in 2025, but he has still been productive for his fantasy managers, catching 33 of his 52 targets for 428 yards and a touchdown in the first six games of the year. He currently ranks as the WR19 in half-PPR scoring and should be locked into all starting fantasy lineups for his Week 7 matchup against the reeling Eagles. Pickens has at least 73 receiving yards in each of his last three games and has seen double-digit targets in three contests to begin his second year in Dallas.

Ollie Gordon II News

Ollie Gordon II Will Look to Continue His Breakout in Week 7

Saturday, October 24, 5:04 AM

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II has stepped in as the team's primary running back for the last three games, since a season-ending injury to De'Von Achane (knee). Gordon has run for a touchdown in each of those three games, with 17 carries for 41 yards against the Chiefs, nine carries for 100 yards against the Vikings, and 18 carries for 88 yards against the Bengals. He hasn't been very involved as a receiver out of the backfield in Miami's struggling passing attack, but his work on the ground and role as the lead option make him a strong option to consider as an RB3 or FLEX play in Week 7 against the Jets. Gordon is the RB23 in RotoBaller's rankings, which makes him a good option to slot into lineups against the Jets, who have allowed six RB touchdowns in six games this season.
