If Pickens Misses Time
Next man up: Camden Brown
Camden Brown is next on the Cowboys depth chart at wide receiver. The targets would likely spread across the offense rather than pass to one player, so he's a waiver add only if Pickens misses time.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Dak Prescott would lose one of his main options.
