The trade of George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys significantly impacts his 2025 fantasy outlook. Projected as the No. 2 receiver behind CeeDee Lamb, Pickens' value may decline, as he is currently going outside the top-36 WRs in drafts. His potential for a long-term contract with Dallas hinges on his performance this season.
CeeDee Lamb benefits from Pickens' arrival, as defenses can no longer focus solely on him. This dynamic duo should enhance Lamb's efficiency and maintain his status as a top fantasy WR in 2025.
Dak Prescott gains a valuable weapon in Pickens, enhancing his passing options. With a strengthened receiving corps, Prescott's 2025 fantasy value is poised for a boost, especially in leagues valuing passing touchdowns and yardage.
For DK Metcalf, the departure of Pickens from Pittsburgh elevates him to the primary target. Despite quarterback uncertainties, Metcalf's target volume is expected to increase, making him a high-upside fantasy option in 2025.
