The Dallas Cowboys’ training camp in Oxnard produced five clear fantasy angles heading into 2025: Kaiir Elam cemented outside-Cornerback duties for a defense that could lean on him for Week 1 coverage; Donovan Ezeiruaku emerged as a game-ready pass rusher who should snag snaps even if he isn’t a full-time starter; George Pickens showed veteran-level consistency and blocking that keeps him locked into a peak target profile in an evolving offense; KaVontae Turpin is being groomed for a bigger, multi-position role that blends rushing and receiving; Jaydon Blue flashed explosive juice and first-team reps, positioning him as a late-season workload candidate if health cooperates.

Elam’s hold on the boundary bodes well for Cowboys IDP value, as his training-camp impact signals steady run defense and pass-sack opportunities. Ezeiruaku’s technique translates to more pressure on opponents’ tackles in passing downs, likely boosting his playtime in subpackages. Pickens’ consistency at receiver and run-blocking sharpens the Steelers’ offensive floor, even if volume fluctuates with quarterback play. Turpin’s usage expansion hints at a scalable fantasy ceiling in 2025, while Blue’s speed and early-rep exposure suggest the upside of a breakout RB3 as the season unfolds. Two preseason games remain to determine final depth charts, but the early signals position these five as must-watch for fantasy rosters and DFS lineups.
