Dallas Cowboys Target Share 2026 — With 2025 Week by Week

2026: the Dallas Cowboys have not played yet; this season's shares fill in the morning after their first game. George Pickens led the Dallas Cowboys with 22.6% of the team's targets in 2025 (137 of 607), ahead of CeeDee Lamb 19.3%, Jake Ferguson 16.8%. Below, every Dallas Cowboys skill player's touches week by week for 2025 — with scoring-territory touches (inside the opponent's 50) beside each number. The season's biggest role shift: Malik Davis took over in week 15 and Javonte Williams's workload never recovered.

Detected role shifts

A shift is flagged when one player gained 3+ touches/game and a teammate lost 3+ across the same split week — descriptive, not causal: injuries, trades and game script all move touches.

Methodology: computed from nflverse play-by-play; a quarter's yards are the yards gained on plays snapped in that quarter. Averages use each player's games played, not team games. Updated 2026-09-13.
