Cowboys Have 5 Players Ranked in PFN's Top 100 Players for 2026 NFL Season Despite Missing Playoffs
Despite missing the playoffs this past NFL season, the Dallas Cowboys still have five players ranked in PFN’s Top 100.
5 Dallas Cowboys Make PFN’s Top 100 Ranking
Tyler Smith, the Cowboys’ first-round selection in the 2022 NFL Draft and a three-time Pro Bowler at the guard position, claimed the No. 100 spot on PFN’s ranking.
“Since entering the NFL in 2022, Tyler Smith has been a steady force for the Dallas Cowboys’ offensive line,” PFN analyst Jacob Infante wrote.
“He was primarily a left tackle as a rookie, but ever since he kicked inside to guard in 2023, he’s been one of the best in the game. He’s been a top-ten guard in the NFL each of the last three seasons by PFN’s OL Impact Scoring metric.”
Defensive tackle Quinnen Williams slotted in at No. 86. After the All-Pro lineman was dealt from New York to Dallas at this past year’s trade deadline, he was one of few legitimate playmakers on the Cowboys’ defense.

“The Dallas Cowboys made a big splash trading for Quinnen Williams at the 2025 NFL trade deadline, and he made that move look smart with his performance upon joining the team. Between his time in Dallas and his previous eight games with the New York Jets, Williams finished No. 10 in PFN DT Impact Scoring last season.”
George Pickens broke out in his first season as a Cowboy, leading Dallas pass-catchers in receptions, yards, and touchdowns. As a result, PFN ranked the receiver as the ninth-best WR and 70th overall.
“Many could assume George Pickens would be a productive member of the Cowboys’ offense in 2025. Few could’ve predicted he’d be as productive as he ended up being. He finished third in the NFL with 1,429 receiving yards, catching 93 passes for nine touchdowns and earning both Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro recognition in the process.”

Ranking 39th overall is quarterback Dak Prescott, who enjoyed a stellar bounce-back season following a 2024 campaign that was cut short due to a season-ending hamstring injury. After ranking No. 98 last year, Prescott climbed 59 spots in PFN’s Top 100.
“Over his last five seasons, Prescott has graded as a top-eight quarterback in our database four times,” Infante noted. “He ended 2025 with 4,552 passing yards, marking the fourth time in his career he’s thrown for more than 4,400 yards in a season. He’s managed to be quite efficient with his high passing volume, ranking fifth with 0.20 EPA per dropback last season.”
The highest-ranked Cowboy is none other than CeeDee Lamb. Although Lamb experienced some inconsistency at points last season, his large body of work helped him earn a No. 7 ranking among WRs and No. 28 overall.
“After his strong rookie year in 2020, CeeDee Lamb has since surpassed the 1,000-yard receiving mark every year he’s been in the NFL. He missed three games due to injury in 2025, but he still finished No. 11 in the league with 1,077 receiving yards. More notably, though, his 76.9 receiving yards per game ranked sixth in the league.”
Without a doubt, the Dallas Cowboys have one of the most talented rosters in the NFL. Entering 2026, they will have no choice but to maximize their potential if they want to make a postseason run and potentially hoist the Lombardi Trophy.
