Overview
- Pickens was active and healthy in Week 6 but saw few early targets as the Cowboys' offense struggled to sustain drives.
- He delivered his most productive outing of the season with a 130-yard, one-touchdown performance on nine catches.
- PFF and Sumer Sports data show Pickens has scored 41.3 fantasy points over his last two games and climbed to WR21 in points per game.
- Dallas placed the one-year franchise tag on Pickens after failing to reach an extension, and the team's 2-4 start plus remarks from COO Stephen Jones have intensified trade speculation.
- Fantasy analysts call him a buy because of a favorable upcoming slate and steady target volume, and the Nov. 10 trade deadline is the key near-term milestone that could change his team status.
