George Pickens News
Friday, August 21, 10:02 AM
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens has been one of the biggest standouts of training camp, and Dak Prescott says it is exactly what he expected. Jon Machota reports that no Cowboys player has stood out more this summer. Prescott praised Pickens for his energy, catches and playmaking, then pointed to the different ways Dallas can use him alongside CeeDee Lamb. Pickens is coming off a career year in his first season with the Cowboys, finishing with 93 receptions for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns. He is playing 2026 on the franchise tag, but there has been no sign of that affecting his work. Dallas has seen Pickens make plays throughout camp, and Prescott believes the next step is figuring out how he and Lamb can stress defenses together, including using one to create openings for the other. Pickens already proved he can produce at a high level in this offense. Nothing from camp suggests that is about to change.

TreVeyon Henderson News
Monday, August 24, 10:34 AM
Updating a previous report, New England Patriots second-year running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle, leg) left the team's training camp practice on Monday early with a right-leg/ankle injury, according to Mike Kadlick of Sports Illustrated. It is unclear right now if it is a serious injury for Henderson, but we'll keep close tabs on his progress for the rest of the week and leading up to the team's Week 1 regular-season opener against the Seattle Seahawks in early September. If Henderson is good to go for the start of the season, he is expected to be involved in a 50-50 timeshare with Rhamondre Stevenson in New England's backfield in Year 2. The 23-year-old former second-rounder from Ohio State impressed as a rookie, running for 911 yards and nine touchdowns on 180 carries while adding 35 catches for 221 yards and another TD through the air. Henderson has not really improved his pass-blocking skills, though, and a timeshare with Stevenson will leave his fantasy upside capped as an RB3/flex target in upcoming drafts. If Henderson's injury keeps him out of Week 1, Lan Larison and rookie Jam Miller will be competing for RB2 duties behind Stevenson over the next couple of weeks.
