George Pickens Responds To Criticism With Monster Performance
11 months agoPittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens secured four of his six targets for 195 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-11 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. The 22-year-old received criticism throughout the week for a lack of effort in recent contests and responded with the best showing of his young career. With Mason Rudolph at quarterback, Pickens thrived down the field as the two connected on deep balls of 44 and 66 yards. He also took a short pass 86 yards to the house to give Pittsburgh its first of four touchdowns in the win. Although Kenny Pickett (ankle) may return next week, fantasy managers should hope that Rudolph gets the nod in an incredibly enticing matchup for Pickens against the Seattle Seahawks.
