[Dallas Cowboys](https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/dallas-cowboys) wide receiver George Pickens has been everything the team could have hoped for over his first seven games of the 2025 campaign.

Pickens is serving as the Cowboys' No. 2 receiver behind CeeDee Lamb, but he stepped up in a big way while Lamb was on the shelf with an injury.

However, Pickens is off to a quiet start in the Week 8 game against the [Denver Broncos](https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/denver-broncos). Here's a closer look at what's going on.
