George Pickens Week 3 Outlook - Steelers at Browns

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sat, Sep 24th 2022, 9:37am EDT

The preseason is in the rearview with Pickens hype. With the bright lights of the regular season beaming down, Pickens has only garnered an 8.6% target share with 22.7% of the team's air yards. With the volume, he's only mustered 0.36 yards per route run, but this week he's a WR5 with some fashionable upside. He is the team's deep threat (team-leading four deep targets) with a 21.2 aDOT facing a secondary that's 25th in DVOA against deep passing. He'll run about 88% of his routes against Ward and Emerson.
