Pickens is looking to pick up right where he left off last season, after a career high in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns in 2025. Pickens earned his first Pro Bowl nod, and is now looking to prove that the season was no fluke.

With head coach Brian Schottenheimer saying that Pickens will be a bigger part of the offense this season, expect Dak Prescott to target him early and often, which should result in him finding the endzone.

Prescott is widely regarded as one of the MVP candidates entering the 2026 season and he has been dominant against the Giants throughout his career, holding a 14-3 record entering Sunday night's game, but he has not always lit up the box score.

In each of his last five road games against the Giants, Prescott has averaged just 181.6 yards per game.

As previously stated, the Cowboys will be looking to get Pickens involved in the passing game early and often. Last season, Pickens averaged 5.4 receptions per game, and he's looking to build off of that momentum.

Last season, Pickens had over five receptions in 11 of 17 games. In his lone full game against the Giants in 2025, Pickens recorded five catches for 68 yards and a touchdown.
