Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said that wide receiver George Pickens' ability to track a deep ball is uncanny and will be utilized in various formations. "He's been great with the ability to move him around," said Schottenheimer. "To maximize him, he can't play just one spot, can't play just the X spot. We are going to move him around, as CeeDee Lamb and he need to be interchangeable." Pickens has looked explosive in camp and has even lined up on the same side as Lamb in some formations. "When he's not doubled, he's really open, Schottenheimer added. The Cowboys traded a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-rounder to the Steelers to acquire Pickens this offseason. The 24-year-old caught 59 passes for 900 yards and three touchdowns for the Steelers last season. Pickens is currently WR30 in the latest RotoBaller rankings, but that rank could rise if he continues to have an impressive camp.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (hamstring) was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Sunday, according to ESPN's Nick Wagoner. Pearsall is on the field and in uniform with the rest of the team. The 24-year-old hasn't had great luck with injuries after the Niners took him 31st overall in the first round in 2024. However, he does have a couple things going for him in 2025 if he can stay on the field. First of all, Deebo Samuel Sr. is gone. Secondly, Brandon Aiyuk (knee) probably won't be ready for the start of the season and could miss a good chunk of time. In his first three games, Pearsall had 132 receiving yards and 39 rushing yards. He also finished off the year strong as a prominent member of the passing attack. The opportunity alone makes Pearsall an intriguing WR4/flex target in fantasy drafts.
