George Pickens News
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens recorded four receptions for 75 yards on six targets in a 23-18 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. Although Pickens didn't repeat the dominant performance he had in Week 2, the 22-year-old still tied for the team lead in targets and led all Steelers in receiving yards. With Kenny Pickett looking much improved on Sunday night, there is reason to believe that Pickens can continue to post solid fantasy production going forward. With Diontae Johnson (hamstring) out for at least the next two games, Pickens should be viewed as a quality WR3 or flex option.
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens led the team in receiving in their 23-18 Sunday night victory over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 3, catching four of his six targets for a team-high 75 yards. Pickens' four catches and six targets also tied for the team lead on the night. It would have obviously been a much nicer line if he had managed to find the end zone for the second straight week, but it was still a solid showing nonetheless as Pittsburgh's top wideout with Diontae Johnson (hamstring) on Injured Reserve. The 22-year-old should continue to be a high-target, high-floor fantasy option as long as Johnson is sidelined. Keep him in your starting lineups for a Week 4 matchup against the Houston Texans on Sunday.
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens scored as a top-12 fantasy wideout in Week 2 and will look to keep the momentum going in a Week 3 bout with the Las Vegas Raiders. With Diontae Johnson (hamstring) on Injured Reserve, Pickens should continue to be the favorite target of quarterback Kenny Pickett. Pickens will have a great shot to repeat the success he found last week as Las Vegas has surrendered the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing receivers so far this season. Even if he doesn't manage to find the end zone again on Sunday night, Pickens should see enough opportunities to post a solid performance as a fantasy WR2.

It's no secret that Steelers WR George Pickens wowed us with some incredible one-handed catches last season, but he finished 3rd in targets on the team in 2022 behind Diontae Johnson and Pat Freiermuth with 84. Pickens had a good enough rookie season with 52 receptions for 801 yards and 4 TDs, and we have seen big leaps from WRs going from Year 1 to Year 2 in years past, but how much volume/consistency can we reasonably predict for Pickens in 2023? He is currently going around the WR39 range,...
