Through four games, this has been a disappointing season for George Pickens as the WR39 in fantasy points per game. He has only one game with more than 15 PPR points. Last week, I thought we'd see the bounceback game for Pickens, but it didn't happen. What I didn't anticipate for Pickens was that Houston would absolutely abandon their single high ways for two-high (66% of their defensive snaps). We're going back to the single-high well with Pickens this week against a Bucs defense that has utilized single-high at the third-highest rate (66.2%). Overall, Pickens has an 18% target share, 1.65 YPRR, two red zone targets, five deep targets, and a 20.2% first-read share. Against single-high this season, Pickens has seen his target per route run rate climb from 14% to 35% and his YPRR increase from 1.41 to 2.30. If the Bucs continue their single high ways, Pickens should shred them. Tampa Bay has allowed the 11th-most fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter wide receivers while ranking 15th in yards per target against the position.
