Wide receiver George Pickens has been a revelation for the Dallas Cowboys since he was acquired via trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Entering Week 15, Pickens leads the team in receiving yards and is among the NFL's leaders in that category. Pickens has also been mostly on his best behavior.

While that's all well and good, Pickens is off to a quiet start in the Week 15 game against the Minnesota Vikings. Here's a closer look at what's going on.

Is George Pickens playing tonight?

UPDATE: Pickens is finally on the stat sheet with his first catch late in the second quarter.

The Vikings have a talented defense, so things might be a bit tougher for Pickens this week. However, it shouldn't be long before he gets on the stat sheet.
