Ryan Flournoy Poised to Be Cowboys’ Likely WR3

Extra offseason reps with Dak Prescott plus recent roster openings have given Flournoy a clear path to claim Dallas’s third receiver role in training camp.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets cited ESPN’s Tuesday list naming Flournoy one of the NFL’s biggest offseason surprises, a development that pushed his name into national conversation.
  • Flournoy finished 2025 with 40 catches, 475 yards and four touchdowns and earned an 80.3 overall grade from PFF, including two 100-yard games.
  • George Pickens missed most of the offseason program, which led to extra reps for Flournoy with Dak Prescott and more work in the slot.
  • Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer praised Flournoy’s work ethic and said Prescott “doesn't hesitate” to throw to him, signaling growing trust from coaches and the quarterback.
  • Flournoy is under team control in the third year of a four-year, $4.15 million deal, making him a low-cost option if he secures the WR3 role; training camp and the preseason will determine whether he locks it down.
