George Pickens Cleared To Play In Week 12

12 months ago

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens (shin) was a full participant in practice on Friday and won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 12 game against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. Pickens didn't practice on Wednesday and was limited for Thursday's session. He will be available this weekend and could see more targets from quarterback Kenny Pickett after the team fired offensive coordinator Matt Canada earlier in the week. It probably won't change the fact that the 22-year-old is a boom/bust commodity in fantasy lineups, though, as the Steelers offense is unlikely to suddenly become a powerhouse. Pickens has scored three times in his second NFL season and has three 100-yard games, but he also hasn't topped 50 receiving yards or four catches in a game since Week 7.
