Jonathan Mingo

Mingo sits at WR5 on Dallas's depth chart behind CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Ryan Flournoy, and KaVontae Turpin, leaving minimal target share for a player who posted just a 1% season target share and 0.03 WOPR in his limited 2025 sample.

2026 is the final year of Mingo's rookie contract; without a larger role emerging this season, he heads into 2027 free agency as a fringe depth piece rather than an established rotational contributor.

Mingo has a history of lower-body injury issues, including a PCL sprain that threatened an IR stint in a prior season, though he enters the current season listed as healthy.

Target share and snap share both trended upward through the end of the 2025 season (peaking at a 44% snap share in the finale), and he has held a stable WR5 role into the start of 2026 — an early sign the role is expanding rather than shrinking.

Mingo's usage skews heavily downfield (19.4 aDOT, roughly 60% deep targets), giving him boom-week ceiling as a field-stretcher if an injury ahead of him on the depth chart opens up snaps.

Dallas's only same-position pick in the 2026 draft was a seventh-round flier (Anthony Smith), so incoming rookie competition for Mingo's WR5 role is minimal.
