"Pickens was traded to the Cowboys after spending his first three seasons in Pittsburgh. Perhaps the change of scenery will get him to the next level, as he's thus far been an exciting playmaker but not yet a consistent fantasy option. Pickens handled a career-high 26% target share (15th among WRs) last season, but he missed three games and found the end zone only three times despite seeing 12 end zone targets (12th most). Pickens has finished 37th or worse in fantasy PPG all three seasons while playing a volatile field-stretcher role (top 15 in aDOT all three years). He will certainly benefit from improved QB play (Dak Prescott), but he now has legitimate target competition from CeeDee Lamb. We likely haven't seen Pickens' best work, but there's enough uncertainty here that the 24-year-old should be valued as a midrange WR3."


"Pickens didn't add much to his career high totals in catches, receiving yards and touchdowns before the Cowboys took out their key offensive starters at halftime. The 24-year-old wide receiver is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, though the Cowboys are expected to retain Pickens, either through an extension or with the franchise tag. Pickens posted the best season of his career after being acquired from the Steelers in an offseason trade, but Dallas failed to reach the playoffs with a 7-9-1 record."

"Knox is entering his seventh NFL season, including his third as Dalton Kincaid's running mate. The 2019 third-round pick flirted with top-12 fantasy output in the two years prior to Kincaid's arrival, but has since seen a severe dip in usage, plummeting to career-low marks in targets (33), touchdowns (one) and fantasy PPG (3.7) last season. That was despite Kincaid missing three games (Knox averaged 5.7 PPG those weeks). In total, Knox had zero double-digit fantasy outings in 2024 and his last game over 10.2 points was Week 16 of 2022. Even if Kincaid misses time, 28-year-old Knox won't be a starting option in fantasy."


"Despite the Bills resting Josh Allen and James Cook, Buffalo let both Dalton Kincaid and Knox play against New York. Knox appeared in all 17 regular-season games in 2025, securing 36 of 49 targets for 417 yards and four touchdowns. He'll play a big role as a blocker and red-zone target for Allen in the playoffs."

Dawson Knox's target share has increased by 180.71% over the past 14 weeks.

Dawson Knox's receiving yards have decreased by 44.2% over the past 6 weeks.

Dawson Knox's targets have increased by 163.64% over the past 14 weeks.

Dawson Knox's receptions have increased by 175.0% over the past 14 weeks.

Dawson Knox's total points have increased by 300+% over the past 6 weeks.
