"When CeeDee Lamb went down with a multi-week ankle injury in a Week 3 loss in Chicago, it felt like the sky was going to fall for the Dallas offense. Instead, we've seen George Pickens, Jake Ferguson, and an unexpected Cowboys rising star emerge. Ryan Flournoy, the team's sixth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, finally saw the field consistently and took advantage of the opportunity."
"On one hand, the team cannot reasonably ignore what Flournoy showed. You could argue he showed more in these last few weeks than guys like Jalen Tolbert ever have. He looked and played like a true WR3 or better. We've also seen the team praise his performance, both in this current run and when he was just grinding for a roster spot. The flip side, however, is that the Cowboys favor experience and expectations quite a bit."
CeeDee Lamb suffered a multi-week ankle injury in Week 3, prompting Dallas to rely on depth pieces such as George Pickens, Jake Ferguson, and Ryan Flournoy. Flournoy, a sixth-round 2024 pick and former Southeast Missouri State Seahawk, started three games with Lamb and KaVontae Turpin sidelined and compiled 11 catches for 158 yards. The team publicly praised his performance and noted his perseverance to earn a roster spot. Flournoy displayed traits of a legitimate WR3. Roster decisions may favor higher-drafted, more experienced players like Jalen Tolbert and Jonathan Mingo once they return, potentially reducing Flournoy's snaps.
