George Pickens Sees Seven Targets In Week 1 Loss
1 year agoPittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens hauled in five of his seven targets for 36 yards in a 30-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. It was a day to forget for the entirety of Pittsburgh's offense, but Pickens was just inches away from getting both feet in bounds on yet another highlight reel catch. Quarterback Kenny Pickett will need to play much better than he did on Sunday for Pickens to offer consistent fantasy value, but more opportunities could be available for the 22-year-old if Diontae Johnson (hamstring) misses extended time. Pickens is worth holding onto in all fantasy formats and could be an interesting WR3 or flex option in Week 2 against the Cleveland Browns.
