BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 17% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Considering Kenny Pickett is just a rookie – albeit a first-round pick – who just got his first start this past weekend, things have not been that bad for him. Pickett got the field replacing Mitch Trubisky midway through Week 4 against the Jets, and he finally started a game this past Sunday.
Although Pickett didn't excel at passing the ball in his debut he already scored two touchdowns on the ground. This past weekend, though, things reversed for him, and while that anticipated passing-TD has yet to arrive Pickett went for a ridiculous 34-of-52 completions reaching 327 yards and only throwing one interception (not bad compared to his W4 outing of three – and a fumble).
Pickett has now finished back-to-back weeks as the QB18 with 15.3 and 13.1 FP in his first two games as a pro in Pitt. Things will only get better from this point on. Yes, the fantasy points went a bit down this Sunday compared to his first outcome, but he was a much higher-volume passer this last weekend compared to the first one and he already showed rushing upside in his debut.
While Pickett is still ways away from becoming anything close to a one-QB/12-team viable fantasy option he should definitely be considered a WW target for those managing in deeper leagues and 2QB/Superflex formats ROS.
