FantasyPros Articles on George Pickens
From the article
We're going back to the single-high well with Pickens this week against a Bucs defense that has utilized single-high at the third-highest rate (66.2%). Against single-high this season, Pickens has seen his target per route run rate climb from 14% to 35% and his YPRR increase from 1.41 to 2.30.
STACKED’s take
Pickens should shred Bucs' single-high coverage after Houston's two-high scheme limited him.
Pickens has been disappointing as WR39 in fantasy points per game with only one game over 15 PPR points through four games. Last week, Houston abandoned single-high coverage for two-high (66% of snaps), limiting his upside. This week against Tampa Bay, which has utilized single-high at the third-highest rate (66.2%), Pickens should thrive. Against single-high coverage this season, his target per route run rate climbs from 14% to 35% and YPRR increases from 1.41 to 2.30. Pickens carries an 18% target share, 1.65 YPRR, two red zone targets, five deep targets, and 20.2% first-read share. Tampa Bay has allowed the 11th-most fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter wide receivers and ranks 15th in yards per target against the position.
