George Pickens News
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens caught three of his six targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in a 28-14 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 18. Pickens hauled in his team's first touchdown of the game in the second quarter when he got wide open on a busted coverage down the middle of the field. Pickens also could have had a bigger game as he appeared to make an impressive catch down the left sideline but was ruled out of bounds. The Steelers called a timeout to review the replay but ultimately decided against challenging the call on the field. Pickens finishes his rookie season with 52 catches for 801 yards and four touchdowns while appearing in all of his team's 17 games. Pickens will be a popular choice as a breakout wide receiver in fantasy in 2023 drafts.
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens will wrap up his rookie season with a home matchup against the Cleveland Browns in Week 18. Pickens had a modest game when these two teams met back in Week 3, catching three of his seven targets for 39 yards.

Pickens has boom/bust potential in an important matchup for the Steelers, who need to win to keep their playoff hopes alive. Pickens is an interesting value option at wide receiver in DFS GPPs this weekend.
