Who Should I Start? George Pickens or Xavier Worthy

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said he has been impressed with the early work of wide receiver George Pickens, especially in the meeting room. "I see a guy that's maturing," Schottenheimer said. The Cowboys made a splash this offseason by acquiring Pickens and a 2026 sixth-round draft pick from the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for a 2026 third-rounder and a 2027 fifth-rounder. The 24-year-old is a nice upgrade at WR2 behind CeeDee Lamb in Dallas, and it's also a nice move for Pickens' fantasy value in 2025, as he'll be working with by far the best quarterback in his career in Dak Prescott. The former second-rounder in 2022 out of Georgia has had at least 801 yards receiving in his three NFL seasons but should have a chance for a career year in Dallas in 2025 in an offense that should be pass-happy under Schottenheimer.

Williamson County authorities have declined to press charges against Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy in lieu of his most recent arrest. The second-year wideout was recently arrested on a domestic assault charge, though he will not be charged, according to the Austin-American Statesman. Worthy culminated a solid rookie season with an impressive eight-catch, 157-yard, two-touchdown performance in the Super Bowl, acting as the sole source of KC's offense. However, he's already made negative waves in the offseason. For now, it appears he'll steer clear of any legal action. Still, there is a possibility of repercussions down the line. The Williamson County Sheriff's office says, "We will continue to evaluate the case. As is our practice with all declines, should you develop additional information ... our office will consider that information and may present the case at that time to a Williamson County Grand Jury." Presently, the 21-year-old is free and clear, but fantasy managers may want to consider this ordeal when selecting him in drafts in the coming months.
