Six games into the 2026 season, the 25-year-old wideout is yet to have a true breakout game, and his numbers year over year are down in every statistical category... To Pickens' credit, he has only been given seven such chances this year, a number that should be exponentially higher.

Pickens' deep-ball production down sharply; needs more downfield targets to spark Dallas offense.

After a career year in 2025 (48 targets, 32 receptions, 525 yards, 6 TDs in 6 games), Pickens' 2026 production is down across all categories: 52 targets, 33 receptions, 428 yards, 1 TD through 6 games. His yards per reception dropped from 16.4 to 13.0, and he has recorded only three receptions of 20+ yards despite being given seven such deep-ball opportunities. The source argues the Cowboys should make it a focal point to get Pickens involved early and often with consistent chances to make game-changing catches down the field, as Dallas' struggling offense needs his big-play ability to break out of its offensive rut.
