# Jesse Holley: Holley says Jake Ferguson remains clearly the Cowboys' No. 1 tight end, expects Dak Prescott to put up roughly 3,500 yards and 25-30 touchdowns simply by staying healthy, believes both George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb start at 1,000 receiving yards in this offense, and thinks Tyler Guyton will keep an NFL job for the next six to eight years. **Claimed:** Jun 29, 2026 **Pundit:** Jesse Holley — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/jesse-holley **Outlet:** DLLS Dallas Cowboys (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/dlls-dallas-cowboys-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://tracking.swap.fm/track/xt6bq09fJCm8CxP7DUGF/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pscrb.fm/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/822/claritaspod.com/measure/prfx.byspotify.com/e/injector.simplecastaudio.com/d5ae5375-e417-4df4-8c3d-3d7ba352b111/episodes/7c405fa2-f063-4429-a20e-024091aa9abf/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=d5ae5375-e417-4df4-8c3d-3d7ba352b111&awEpisodeId=7c405fa2-f063-4429-a20e-024091aa9abf&feed=4Fqey2NA 6 checkable claims — 4 player season numbers, 1 depth chart call and 1 roster spot call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 6 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 4 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one. > In this offense, George Pickens would be a walking thousand yard receiver. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Jake Ferguson to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Jake Ferguson, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **Dak Prescott to record 3,500 passing yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **George Pickens to record 1,000 receiving yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: George Pickens, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **CeeDee Lamb to record 1,000 receiving yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tyler Guyton to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Tyler Guyton, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **Dak Prescott to record ? passing tds** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Jake Ferguson — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/jake-ferguson - Dallas Cowboys — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/cowboys - Dak Prescott — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/dak-prescott - George Pickens — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/george-pickens - CeeDee Lamb — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/ceedee-lamb - Tyler Guyton — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/tyler-guyton ## What others said about the same people - Mike Moraitis on DaRon Bland: Moraitis names five Cowboys he expects to be playing their final season opener in Dallas in 2026: George Pickens (likely tag-and-trade or departure), Malik Hooker, Luke Schoonmaker, DeMarvion Overshown and DaRon Bland. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/66b5ed7b-41bd-4f67-9b4d-16eae4675e67 (scored 100) - Garrett Podell on Dallas Cowboys: Previewing the Week 1 'Sunday Night Football' game, the piece picks Dallas to beat New York comfortably, arguing Prescott, Lamb and Pickens will exploit the Giants' cornerbacks while the Cowboys' defense contains Jaxson Dart. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/994d94d2-7aa5-4911-8404-9efbdfc22a46 (scored 35.71) - Chris Broussard on Dallas Cowboys: Broussard took Tampa Bay over Cincinnati as his upset alert, predicted a 34-17 Cowboys win over the Giants, and had picked Dak Prescott as MVP. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/51e94822-1a3d-4d9a-bf30-f6cb6df22819 (scored 28.57) - Nick Wright on Dallas Cowboys: Wright picked Tampa Bay to beat Cincinnati outright, Philadelphia to beat Washington, Dallas to beat the Giants, and said he was one of the few nationally to pick the Chiefs to win it all. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/5b52c3b5-50b8-4e09-9fb0-41c9bf1aaf8b (scored 0) - Eric Mangini on Dallas Cowboys: Mangini's upset alert was Washington over Philadelphia; in the chips segment he backed Houston, Dallas and Denver; and his Monday headline was Cincinnati mauling Tampa Bay, with Joe Burrow as his MVP and the Bengals as AFC North champs. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/e5bc3ec1-bf97-4273-a223-f5661d0cca8a (scored 0) - Kirk Herbstreit on Dallas Cowboys: Herbstreit made a full slate of Week 1 picks — Lions, Ravens, Bears, Bills, Buccaneers, Jaguars, Titans, Eagles, Packers and Cowboys — and also said he still thinks Seattle is the team to beat in the NFC West. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/5bc3755c-9b84-484f-b8f2-b18d51a12261 (scored 0) ## More player season numbers The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Ross Jackson on Tyler Shough: Jackson projects a big sophomore jump for Saints QB Tyler Shuck, laying out a Drake May-style stat line (17 starts, 72% completions, ~4,601 passing yards, 24 TDs, 9 INTs) or a Bo Nix-style consistency line (over 4,000 yards, over 20 TDs, ~10 INTs), and says either path means a playoff season for New Orleans in 2026. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/4dc05898-73fd-4fcb-92c4-a940d7e395ba (scored 3.63) - Chris Broussard on Lamar Jackson: Broussard expects Lamar Jackson to play well but not vintage — two touchdown passes and no picks — while Derrick Henry carries the load with over 100 rushing yards.
