George Pickens Continues To Impress At Camp
1 year agoPittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens had a solid rookie campaign, catching 52 passes for 801 yards and four touchdowns. The University of Georgia product has had plenty of spectacular catches in preseason practice heading into his second year, but he's been impressive overall during training camp. "Hopes were high for Pickens coming into this year. If anything, he's exceeding those expectations," Mike DeFabo of the Athletic wrote. "The thing to watch going forward is how much Pickens' route tree evolves, something he believes will be the case after catching the overwhelming majority of his passes on go routes last year." Pickens should be the Steelers' deep threat in 2023, with Diontae Johnson serving as the volume hog underneath. The overall ceiling of the team's offense could be limited if Kenny Pickett doesn't take the next step at quarterback, but Pickens could have plenty of fantasy value with his chunk play skill set. If his route tree is more diverse, he could smash his WR35 ADP in PPR formats.
