George Pickens Fantasy

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens caught six of his eight targets for 102 yards in a 24-20 loss to the New York Jets in Week 4. Pickens led the Steelers in receiving yardage while finishing second on the team in targets and catches in what was a breakout performance for him. The rookie showed chemistry with fellow rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett in the loss after the team benched starter Mitch Trubisky at halftime. Pickens is looking like a priority waiver add in any league where he was dropped heading into a Week 5 showdown against the Buffalo Bills.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens made the catch of the season in a Week 3 loss to the Cleveland Browns. That being said, the talented rookie has not been used very heavily in a Steelers offense that is last in the league in total yards per game. Pickens will look to post a big game at home against the New York Jets in Week 4. Until the Pittsburgh offense starts moving the ball better, Diontae Johnson is the only trustworthy Steelers receiver in fantasy. Treat Pickens as a boom/bust flex option for Week 4.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens caught three of his seven targets for 39 yards in a 29-17 loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 3. Pickens made what could be the catch of the year on an Odell Beckham-like play in which he caught a 36-yard pass with one hand while falling backward with a Cleveland defender in close coverage. The rookie wideout set career highs across the board after pointing out his lack of opportunities in the media earlier in the week. Pickens remains a stash in dynasty but this Pittsburgh offense isn't scoring enough points to trust him in starting lineups against the New York Jets in Week 4.
