PositiveSleeperAug 14, 2026RotoWire NFL Articles

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.

Flournoy stepped up as Dallas' No. 3 WR in 2025, posting two 100-yard games when CeeDee Lamb missed time. The third-year receiver finished 31st in yards per route run (1.82; 16th over his last five games) and 13th in 1st downs per route run, showcasing efficiency.
