BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens looks to rebound from a disappointing Week 2. After catching six passes for 85 yards to open the season against the Falcons, Pickens was held to two catches for 29 yards against Denver in Week 2.
George Pickens has just 8 catches for 114 yards through 2 games BUT…
He’s had 128 yards and a TD negated by penalties and he’s top 6 in Average Seperation Score both weeks. That was while seeing AJ Terrell on 80% & Pat Surtain II on 71% of his routes. Legit WR1 📈 pic.twitter.com/glJRzA2INN

Pickens is set for a solid matchup against a Chargers defense that just hasn't really been challenged much this season. The team held Carolina to just 84 yards through the air last week, but that was against Carolina, so...
Pickens is Pittsburgh's only reliable wide receiver and he already has more than double the targets of any other wideout on this Steelers roster this season. As long as that trend continues, fantasy managers can consider him a solid low-end WR2 play. He might not have week-winning upside, but he can provide your lineup with reliable targets.
