Flournoy has replaced Jake Ferguson as the third wheel in the Dallas passing attack. Since Week 5, Flournoy has had a 13.8% target share, 1.96 YPRR, two red zone targets, one deep target, and a 12.2% first-read share. Arizona has the highest two-high rate in the NFL (70.5%), and since Week 5, against two-high, Flournoy has seen his TPRR increase from 14% to 18% while posting 1.78 YPRR. The source projects Flournoy is a solid flex option this week against Arizona, who has allowed the eighth-most yards per target and the sixth-most fantasy points per opportunity to slot receivers over their last five games.

NegativeDepth ChartOct 28, 2026Fantasy Life Articles
Flournoy ran a route on 82% of Dallas' Week 7 dropbacks, with 57% of those routes coming from the slot. For the season, he has lined up in the slot on 53% of his routes and been in motion at the snap on 13%. The Cowboys have targeted him on 27% of his routes in motion at the snap this season. He has accounted for 13.4% of their first-read targets in his games, well behind Lamb and Pickens. Receiver Score has him as a priority WR handcuff if either misses time.

Ryan Flournoy is positioned as an anytime touchdown scorer at +370 odds; he was just one snap short of George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb last week and regularly plays over three-quarters of snaps; against the Eagles' secondary that drops in quality deeper in the coverage, if Prescott looks away from Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, Flournoy could score back-to-back games and has scored six touchdowns in his last 15 games dating to last season (implied odds of +150).

Flournoy would have top-24 upside if George Pickens misses Monday night's game with a shoulder injury, but still has flex appeal if Pickens plays. He is the WR48 this year, averaging 8.7 PPR fantasy points per game. Flournoy has become the Cowboys' clear-cut third option in the passing game, averaging six targets per outing with eight or more in two of his last four contests, including a season-high nine last week. Over the past two weeks, he has averaged five receptions on 6.5 targets for 65 receiving yards, 0.5 touchdowns, and 14.5 fantasy points per game (2.23 fantasy points per target). Philadelphia has surrendered 43.2 fantasy points per game to wide receivers over the past month (most in the NFL) and 18.6 fantasy points per game to slot receivers this season; Flournoy has run 53.1% of his routes from the slot.

Flournoy has passed tight end Jake Ferguson as the No. 3 target in Dallas behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens; he scored a season-high 17 points in Week 6 against Green Bay, catching seven of nine targets for 40 yards and a touchdown. Flournoy has scored 12 or more points in back-to-back games with five or more targets in his past four. He should be viewed as a deeper-league pickup for Monday Night Football against a Philadelphia Eagles defense allowing 36.3 fantasy PPG to wide receivers.
