George Pickens Week 4 Outlook - Jets at Steelers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 29th 2022, 1:05pm EDT

Pickens saw his target share boost to 22% in Week 3, after Mitchell Trubisky vowed to get him more involved. That target share was higher than Claypool has seen in any game this season and it came on his lowest snap share (76%) of the season. His target increase also came at the expense of TE Pat Freiermuth (13% target share). Pickens is worth holding to see if his involvement in the offense continues to grow, but still too risky to play even with the matchup on paper. Because the Jets actually have two solid cornerbacks on the perimeter between D.J. Reed Jr. and first-round pick Sauce Gardner. Reed is allowing the league's second-lowest passer rating in coverage (16.0). Gardner is being targeted on just 12% of his routes covered.
