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.

Tank Dell News

Tank Dell Officially Active for Week 7 Against Giants

Sunday, October 25, 7:48 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) is active for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the New York Giants, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, but he's a deeper-league stash, not a safe starter. Dell will make his first regular-season appearance since December 21, 2024, when he suffered a serious knee injury against the Kansas City Chiefs. Houston activated the 26-year-old on Saturday and removed his questionable designation after he practiced in full throughout Week 7. Head coach DeMeco Ryans has tempered expectations for Dell's return, and the Texans already have considerable competition for targets with Nico Collins, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Jaylin Noel. Given his lengthy absence and uncertain initial workload, Dell is a risky Week 7 starter.
