Cowboys' George Pickens' production is way down, but don't freak out yet
Dallas Cowboys wideout George Pickens isn't having a great start to his 2026-27 season. Should you be up nights thinking about it?
The Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens has been a focal point of NFL discussions due to his contract negotiations over the offseason. However, as the 2025-26 season has commenced, his performance has taken a notable downturn. In this season thus far, Pickens has averaged just 7.6 yards per catch, a significant drop from his impressive 15.4 yards per catch last year.
This decline has seen him drop from being among the top players at his position to a less notable performance. Despite this, experts believe this dip in production is temporary. ESPN's Todd Archer pointed out that the Cowboys' struggles with Pickens are just a fleeting illusion, and the coach Brian Schottenheimer has stated that everything will be fine with him.
Similar to many first impressions in the NFL, a small snapshot of two games isn't enough to make a definitive assessment. Given Pickens' strong performance in the previous season, many are still optimistic about his rebound and return to his previous elite-level performance.
