Pickens positioned for explosive plays if Tampa Bay overcommits to stopping Lamb underneath.

If Tampa Bay focuses defensive resources on limiting CeeDee Lamb's short-medium game, George Pickens could make his presence felt on explosive plays. Dak Prescott is one of the league's best quarterbacks when blitzed and has the weapons to make defenses pay, positioning Pickens for upside if the Buccaneers' defensive strategy opens the field vertically.
