George Pickens poised to repeat as he returns to Cowboys, and more headlines from OTAs this week that we're tracking for fantasy football

George Pickens is poised to repeat as a top fantasy performer as he returns to the Dallas Cowboys under a franchise tag. He reported to practice during the team’s minicamp after choosing to play on the tag rather than sit out OTAs. After a breakout 2025 season with 93 catches for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns, Pickens sits as a high-floor, high-ceiling option for 2026 fantasy rosters. Projections place him around WR9, reflecting a streamlined Cowboys passing attack that should again feed his production. The article also notes Stefon Diggs as a free agent with potential landing in Washington, which could reshape the depth chart, and Cam Skattebo’s recovery from a dislocated ankle, signaling upside if he stays healthy.
