Ahead of their Thanksgiving Day showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday, Dallas Cowboys fans and Fantasy managers grew concerned after George Pickens appeared on the team’s injury report. This is a must-win game for the Cowboys if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive, though an injury to one of their best wide receivers might affect that.
Pickens shone in that game against the Philadelphia Eagles last week, getting 146 receiving yards for one reception and one touchdown and is currently ranked second in the league with 1,054 receiving yards and third in receiving touchdowns with eight. His presence is crucial for the Cowboys’ success, especially against one of the best teams in the league.
What Happened to George Pickens?
Sources have indicated that George Pickens has been pretty banged up as of late, especially with the Cowboys having a shorter week for Week 13, playing on Sunday against the Eagles and again on Thursday against the Chiefs. He was reportedly dealing with knee and calf issues and had limited practice this week so far.
However, his injuries have not been considered to be that serious as he was still allowed to practice, though at a limited capacity. It remains to be seen if he is actually playing healthy or is playing hurt, as Cowboys fans hold their breath.
Is George Pickens Playing Week 13?
While there is still no official word on whether Pickens will play in Week 13 against the Kansas City Chiefs, insiders are very optimistic and believe he will be able to suit up and take to the field on Thursday. Yes, folks, he will possibly be playing against the Chiefs.
Pickens has been very consistent for the Cowboys, and his appearance on the injury report might just be the team choosing to rest him up a bit ahead of such an important game.
George Pickens Fantasy Outlook
With Pickens being expected to play, it should be good news for Fantasy managers, as he is expected to do well against that tight Kansas City Chiefs defense. Nonetheless, starting him should be a good idea, given that his injury is not really that serious.
