Fantasy Football Player Notes

George Pickens led the team with 7 targets (two from Trubisky) but caught just 3 for 25. Pat Freiermuth also left with a hamstring injury. The three backups at tight end all split routes and snaps behind him.
This offense is in rough shape. They have the Ravens and their bye week up the next two weeks.
Pickens is the only guy anybody can start just based on volume, but that could go away with the return of Diontae Johnson in a few weeks. And until this team fires Matt Canada, this offense is sunk. Have to imagine it might be the final showing we get of him till the bye week.
Last year with Mitchell Trubisky, Pickens faced the Ravens at home, catching three balls for 78 yards on three targets. Pittsburgh lost that game outright 16-14 with the Ravens starting Tyler Huntley.
