George Pickens Looks To Retain Role In Week 7

George Pickens Looks To Retain Role In Week 7

one year ago

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens has operated as the team's top target so far this season with Diontae Johnson (hamstring) suffering an injury in Week 1. Pickens will now have to compete with Johnson for opportunities as the former Pro-Bowler is set to return against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7. Los Angeles has been stout against wideouts in 2023, surrendering the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. Still, Pickens offers plenty of upside as a deep threat and can be started as a low-end WR2 or flex option this week.
