KaVontae Turpin KaVontae Turpin Gets five touches Thanksgiving Day
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 9:01 PM
Turpin caught two passes on as many targets for 28 yards and added three carries for 33 yards during the Cowboys' 31-28 win over the Chiefs on Thursday. He also added 118 yards on five kickoff returns.
Analysis: Turpin continued to serve in a gadget role in the Cowboys offense Thursday, and he surpassed 50 yards from scrimmage for a second straight game and for the fourth time this season. The fourth-year pro's speed makes him a big-play threat on every down and has earned him a small but consistent role. Turpin is up to 19 catches (on 28 targets) for 260 yards and a touchdown along with 12 carries for 63 yards across 10 regular-season games, and his 1,036 yards on kickoffs (on 40 returns) is third most in the NFL behind Chimere Dike (1,206) and Myles Price (1,058). |

Ryan Flournoy Ryan Flournoy Hauls in three passes vs. KC
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 8:49 PM
Flournoy caught three passes on as many targets for 34 yards during the Cowboys' 31-28 win over the Chiefs on Thursday.
Analysis: Two of Flournoy's three catches came during the Cowboys' first offensive drive of the second quarter, which helped lead to a 49-yard field goal from Brandon Aubrey. Flournoy's three receptions were his most since Week 6 against the Panthers, and his 27 snaps on offense were third most among Cowboys wide receivers behind CeeDee Lamb (58) and George Pickens (53) and ahead of KaVontae Turpin (26). Flournoy is up to 20 catches (on 29 targets) for 234 yards and two touchdowns across 12 regular-season games. |

Malik Davis Malik Davis Scores first TD of 2025
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 8:38 PM
Davis turned three carries into 47 yards and a touchdown during the Cowboys' 31-28 win over the Chiefs on Thursday.
Analysis: Davis played just nine snaps on offense compared to Javonte Williams' 56, but the former helped give the Cowboys a 17-14 lead in the second quarter with a 43-yard touchdown run. With rookie fifth-rounder Jaydon Blue a healthy scratch for each of Dallas' last four games, Davis appears to be fully entrenched as the RB2 behind Williams, though the latter figures to still serve as the team's workhorse out of the backfield. Davis has logged 10 carries for 91 yards across three games since the Cowboys' Week 10 bye. |

Jake Ferguson Jake Ferguson Five catches against KC
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 8:05 PM
Ferguson caught five of six targets for 36 yards in Thursday's 31-28 win over Kansas City.
Analysis: The tight end nearly hauled in his eighth TD of the season late in the third quarter on a 13-yard toss from Dak Prescott, but replay showed that Ferguson's second foot got tangled up with his defenders and never landed in bounds at the back of the end zone. It was still the fourth straight game in which he's caught at least four passes, and Ferguson has 70 receptions on the season -- one short of the career high he set in 2023, and second among all tight ends this year behind Trey McBride's 80. Ferguson will look to establish that new personal best in Week 14 against the Lions. |

George Pickens George Pickens Productive in Thanksgiving win
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 8:00 PM
Pickens caught six of 13 targets for 88 yards in Thursday's 31-28 win over Kansas City. He also caught a two-point conversion.
Analysis: The 13 targets led the Cowboys, but Pickens otherwise took a back seat to CeeDee Lamb and his 7-112-1 line on nine looks from Dak Prescott. Pickens was on the other end of Prescott's two-point conversion toss in the fourth quarter, however. The fourth-year wideout has already established a new career high with 1,142 receiving yards on the season in only 12 games, and he'll look to keep padding his totals ahead of potential free agency in the spring in a Week 14 clash with the Lions. |

CeeDee Lamb CeeDee Lamb Rebounds with big Week 13 effort
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 7:56 PM
Lamb caught seven of nine targets for 112 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 31-28 win over Kansas City.
Analysis: George Pickens led the Cowboys in targets once again, but Lamb paced the team's pass-catchers in receptions and yards, capping his performance with a 15-yard TD from Dak Prescott in the first quarter. It's the fourth time in nine games this season Lamb has hit for triple-digit yards, and the issues he had hanging onto the ball against the Eagles last week were nowhere to be found. The 26-year-old wideout will take a 51-744-3 line on 81 targets into a Week 14 clash with the Lions. |

Javonte Williams Javonte Williams Ends TD drought in win over KC
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 7:52 PM
Williams carried the ball 17 times for 59 yards and caught all three of his targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 31-28 win over Kansas City.
Analysis: Malik Davis scored Dallas' only TD on the ground on an impressive 43-yard run in the second quarter, but Williams snagged the team's final touchdown of the afternoon, catching a three-yard toss from Dak Prescott early in the fourth that put the Cowboys in the lead for good. It was Williams' first trip to the end zone since Week 8, and through 12 games on the season he's amassed 955 rushing yards and eight scores on the ground while adding a 31-128-2 line on 42 targets through the air. He'll look to record his first career 1,000-yard rushing campaign in Week 14 against the Lions. |

Dak Prescott Dak Prescott Tops 300 yards in Thanksgiving win
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 7:48 PM
Prescott completed 27 of 39 passes for 320 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Thursday's 31-28 win over Kansas City. He also threw a two-point conversion.
Analysis: The veteran quarterback got picked off by Jaylen Watson on his second pass attempt of the afternoon, but from that point on Prescott was in firm control. He capped the Cowboys' next drive with a 15-yard TD to CeeDee Lamb, then put his team in the lead for good early in the fourth quarter with a three-yard score to Javonte Williams. Prescott has thrown multiple TDs in three straight games as Dallas keeps its playoff hopes alive, posting an 8:2 TD:INT over that stretch, but he'll likely need to be sharp again in Week 14 in another potential barn burner against Detroit. |

Jalen Tolbert Jalen Tolbert Back in Week 13 WR mix
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 3:04 PM
Tolbert is officially listed as active for Thursday's game against the Chiefs.
Analysis: Tolbert was a healthy scratch for this past Sunday's 24-21 win over the Eagles, but he'll rejoin the Cowboys' WR mix in Week 13. In the process, he'll be a candidate, along with Ryan Flournoy and KaVontae Turpin, for snaps/targets that don't go to the team's clear-cut top options at the position, CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. |

Jaydon Blue Jaydon Blue Inactive for Thursday's game
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 2:28 PM
Blue (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Chiefs, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Blue has now been made a healthy scratch in four consecutive games, ever since he committed a fumble versus the Broncos in Week 8. In place of the rookie fifth-round pick, Malik Davis will continue to operate the No. 2 option behind workhorse starter Javonte Williams in Dallas' backfield. |

Jalen Tolbert Jalen Tolbert Active for Thursday's game
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 2:21 PM
Tolbert is active for Thursday's game against the Chiefs, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Tolbert was made a surprising healthy scratch versus the Eagles in Week 12, but he'll suit up versus Kansas City on Thanksgiving Day. He essentially remains off the fantasy radar, though, given that Tolbert's role on offense has steadily declined, and in his last three appearances he's logged less than 20 percent of offensive snaps. Jonathan Mingo (coach's decision) is inactive Thursday with Tolbert taking the field. |

Jonathan Mingo Jonathan Mingo Healthy scratch Thanksgiving Day
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 2:18 PM
Mingo (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Chiefs, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Mingo has consistently been a healthy scratch since returning from IR late October, as his first game being listed as active came Week 12 versus the Eagles. With Jalen Tolbert now back in the lineup versus Kansas City, however, Mingo reverts to his usual role. His next chance to suit up will come Thursday, Dec. 4 versus the Lions in Week 14. |

KaVontae Turpin KaVontae Turpin Cleared to play
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 1:03 PM
Turpin (shoulder/illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Chiefs, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The Cowboys listed Turpin as a full participant after Wednesday's walk-through. He should be fine for his usual part-time role on offense while handling kick and punt returns. |

George Pickens George Pickens Clear for Thanksgiving
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 12:40 PM
Pickens (knee/calf) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game against the Chiefs, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Pickens opened the week as a non-participant at Monday's walkthrough due to knee and calf injuries, but he followed it up with Tuesday's limited practice and Wednesday's full walkthrough, which was enough for the Cowboys to clear him with a quick turnaround between games. Since the team's Week 10 bye, he's reeled off 18 catches (on 20 targets) for 290 yards and two touchdowns over the last two contests, making him an easy plug and play for fantasy purposes. |

George Pickens George Pickens Expected to play Thursday
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 8:17 AM
Pickens (knee/calf) is expected to suit up for Thursday's game against the Chiefs, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Pickens was a non-participant at Monday's walkthrough and turned in a limited session Tuesday, so while he could be officially tagged with an injury designation on Wednesday's practice report, expectations are that the the fourth-year pro will suit up Thanksgiving Day. That aligns with the confidence coach Brian Schottenheimer has expressed in Pickens' expected availability. He's coming off back-to-back performances with nine catches, over 140 yards and one touchdown, and Pickens hasn't been held below 50 receiving yards since Week 1. |

Ryan Flournoy Ryan Flournoy Blanked by Eagles
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 8:02 PM
Flournoy failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Flournoy was a complete non-factor in Week 13 after finding the end zone in back-to-back weeks. The 26-year-old wideout was held without a catch for the first time since Week 7 while playing 45 percent of the Cowboys' offensive snaps. With fellow wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens dominating the Cowboys' target share, Flournoy will continue to find it difficult to produce consistently, making him very difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. The Southeast Missouri State product will look to bounce back in Week 13 when the Cowboys host the Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day. |

KaVontae Turpin KaVontae Turpin Upgrades to limited Tuesday
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 4:05 PM
Turpin (shoulder) was limited in Tuesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: It's an upgrade for Turpin, who logged a DNP at Monday's walkthrough. Turpin caught a 48-yard pass and rushed two times for four yards in last Sunday's comeback win over the Eagles, seeing 46 percent of the offensive snaps. |

George Pickens George Pickens Turns in limited practice
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 4:03 PM
Pickens (knee/calf) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The limited session represents a step forward for Pickens after he was gauged as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, but the wideout is still having his reps monitored carefully on a short week while he tends to a pair of injuries. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Monday that he still anticipates Pickens playing through the injuries during Thursday's game against the Chiefs, though Wednesday's report will reveal whether the 24-year-old takes a designation into the contest. |

George Pickens George Pickens Will practice Tuesday
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 12:56 PM
Coach Brian Schottenheimer said Pickens (knee/calf) will practice Tuesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Schottenheimer said Monday that Pickens has a bruised shin, which is curiously neither a knee nor calf issue, but it sounds like the star wide receiver will be in good enough shape to play Thursday against the Chiefs after he was able to return to last Sunday's comeback win over the Eagles to hang a 9-146-1 receiving line on Philadelphia. |

KaVontae Turpin KaVontae Turpin DNP on Monday's practice estimate
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 6:01 PM
Turpin was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report due to a shoulder injury and an illness, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Turpin earned his highest snap share (46 percent) since Week 4 during Sunday's win versus the Eagles, and he produced one catch (on two targets) for 48 yards and two carries for four yards. The reception marked his longest of the campaign, but he now is tending two a pair of health concerns ahead of Thursday's contest against the Chiefs. Wednesday's injury report will unveil whether or not Turpin has a designation for Week 13 action. |
