Franchise Tag the More Likely Option for George Pickens

Sunday, November 23, 11:15 AM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens is headed for unrestricted free agency next March, but the team wants to bring him back following a career-best season. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Cowboys are "more likely" to franchise tag Pickens than allow him to test unrestricted free agency. By tagging him, the team would lock him into a one-year deal worth more than $28 million while gaining the exclusive rights to negotiate a longer-term extension with him. The 24-year-old is worth every penny, catching 58 passes for 908 yards and seven touchdowns in his first season with the Cowboys after being acquired from the Pittsburgh Steelers. He ranks as the overall WR4 in PPR leagues and has complemented CeeDee Lamb quite nicely in Dallas' high-powered offense.

Trey Benson Ruled Out For Week 12

Friday, November 21, 4:30 PM

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) has officially been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to Tyler Drake of AZSports. Benson was a limited participant in practice every day this week, but the Cardinals ultimately decided to hold him out for another week. Head coach Jonathan Gannon said that the second-year back looked good during practice this week, and that they'd "see how it goes" on Friday in regards to his chances to play in Week 12. It seems like Benson is making progress in his recovery, but he's not quite there yet. He has now been ruled out for his seventh consecutive game and has yet to practice in full capacity, which is likely the next big step for him to take to get back to the field. Emari Demercado (ankle) has also been ruled out for Sunday, leaving Bam Knight and Michael Carter to split the backfield duties against the Jaguars.
