George Pickens, after dropping a monster 130 yards and a touchdown just last week, is currently invisible through two drives in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers. This guy, who had his most productive showing over five games in Week 5, has been nowhere to be found on the field tonight. Seriously, what gives?
From Week 5 Heroics to Week 6 Ghosting
Just last week, Pickens looked like he was finally hitting his stride. He went off for 130 yards and a score on nine receptions. That was his biggest game of the 2026 campaign, a performance that probably had Cowboys fans pumped, thinking he was about to explode. It was exactly the kind of outing you want to see from a top receiver, proving he could be a huge factor for that Dallas offense.
Cowboys’ Offense Is Stuck in Neutral, And Pickens Pays the Price
But fast forward to Week 6, and it’s a completely different story. Pickens is healthy and active, no injury worries there. The problem is he just hasn’t been targeted yet through two entire drives. The Cowboys’ offense as a whole is off to a terrible start, only managing one first down across those two drives. When your offense can’t even move the chains, how is a guy like Pickens supposed to get going? He’s ready to play, but the opportunities simply aren’t there because the unit is completely stalling.
This early slump for Pickens isn’t about *him* sitting out; it’s a symptom of a larger offensive problem for Dallas. They need to find a way to spark some life into that unit and get their playmakers involved. While the Cowboys figure out how to wake up their offense and get Pickens involved, it was a tough weekend for our own Seattle Seahawks, who fell to the Denver Broncos 17-14. Big changes gotta happen for Dallas to turn this around, and Pickens needs the ball!
