Played 75% of snaps and ran 70% of routes for the Cowboys, posting 5 targets for 37 yards. Flournoy's 12% target share is modest despite his high snap and route participation. Listed in stock down category following Week 4, indicating reduced role or production concerns.NegativeUsageSep 28, 2026
Flournoy played 47 snaps (66%) and ran 30 routes (68%), receiving 8 targets (20%) for 22 yards; his 34% air yards share and 17% yards share indicate high target allocation but limited efficiency.NegativeMatchupSep 28, 2026

Ranked 55th in Week 2 value meter for DAL vs. WAS matchup.NegativeUsageSep 14, 2026
Flournoy played 73% of snaps and 69% of routes with 4 targets for 22 yards. The source found it surprising that his route share (69%) landed so close to CeeDee Lamb's and George Pickens' (78% apiece), suggesting elevated usage for a non-starter.PositiveRoleSep 3, 2026
2024 sixth-round pick (WR59) projects as clear-cut No. 3 receiver after Jalen Tolbert left for Miami. Flashed last season with 6-114-0 and 9-115-1 booms when Lamb was sidelined. Rare handcuff-viable receiver who would be in WR4 conversation any week George Pickens or CeeDee Lamb are out.NegativeRoleAug 24, 2026
Flournoy was one of the players rested in the Cowboys-Cardinals game.NegativeValueAug 17, 2026
Flournoy is mentioned as a comparable value tier to Pat Bryant at wide receiver.PositiveSleeperAug 14, 2026
Locked in the clear third receiver role behind George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb last season, posting 40 catches for 475 yards and four touchdowns on 56 targets in 15 games. Catch rate of 71.4 percent ranked among the better marks in the league; efficient in the red zone with four touchdowns on just seven red-zone targets. Some production came with Lamb sidelined (including a 114-yard breakout in Week 5), but Flournoy held his role even once the Cowboys got healthy. At pick 163, he's a deep-league dart throw who becomes an automatic weekly option if Lamb or Pickens misses time.PositiveValueAug 13, 2026
Ryan Flournoy is ranked 171st in ADP with a default ranking of 159.0, showing a 12.0-spot undervaluation where ADP consensus is pricing him lower than the default ranking.PositiveValueAug 7, 2026
Flournoy (UD ADP 163.0) is positioned as a better best ball target than Tre Tucker (157.0), offering better value in the receiver range despite similar ADP.NegativeRoleAug 1, 2026
Flournoy is identified as a potential breakout candidate whose performance could influence Cowboys personnel grouping strategy. The source notes that 11 personnel could push toward 70% if Flournoy breaks out and/or the Dallas defense is terrible again, compared to the 66.4% usage in 2025. His route share is flagged as a key trend to monitor early in the season.PositiveSleeperJul 23, 2026
Flournoy, a 2024 sixth-rounder, forced out former third-rounder Jalen Tolbert and posted 6-114-0 and 9-115-1 booms when CeeDee Lamb was out. His yards per route run (1.75, 31st among 78 WRs) and targets per route run (20.6%, 38th) were solid, while ESPN (WR25) and PFF (WR22) rated him certifiably good. Hartitz ranks him WR62 (ADP WR78, pick 221) and positions him as a deeper-league target and late-round receiver one injury away from becoming a waiver-wire priority in a high-octane Cowboys passing attack.PositiveSleeperJul 23, 2026
Ian Hartitz ranks Flournoy WR62 with ADP at WR78 (pick 221). The 2024 sixth-rounder 'didn't do much of anything as a rookie' but 'effectively forced out former third-rounder Jalen Tolbert' (now on the Dolphins) and supplied 6-114-0 and 9-115-1 booms when CeeDee Lamb was out. Hartitz describes Flournoy as 'fun' and highlights his yards-per-route-run efficiency (1.75) as evidence of his upside in later rounds.PositiveValueJul 21, 2026
Flournoy is fully expected to be the third option inside his receiver room, but the source is more optimistic in potentially getting a decent runout from him if the price is low enough inside a passing game the source likes. Historical data shows 31 instances since 2017 of one offense enabling three top-50 receivers in PPR points per game, averaging 3.4 per season.PositiveRoleJul 21, 2026
The source ranks Ryan Flournoy as WR62 and notes he projects as the offense's clear-cut No. 3 receiver after Jalen Tolbert left for Miami in free agency; the source credits the 2024 sixth-round pick for flashing on several occasions last season, supplying 6-114-0 and 9-115-1 booms in two instances when Lamb was forced out. The source identifies Flournoy as a rare handcuff-viable receiver who would be in the WR4 conversation any week George Pickens or CeeDee Lamb are sidelined.
