George Pickens Week 3 Outlook - Steelers at Raiders

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 21st 2023, 8:57am EDT

Last week without Diontae Johnson, Pickens had a 30% Target share, a 66.0% air yard share, and 4.54 YPRR. Pickens had a 46.7% first-read share. He popped off with 127 receiving yards on nine targets. As long as Johnson is sidelined, Pickens should continue to see this type of insane volume. He will run about 90% of his routes against Marcus Peters (81.8% catch rate and 92.4 passer rating) and Jakorian Bennett (90.9% catch rate and 143.6 passer rating). Week 3 Positional Value: WR2/3
