Last week was the monster performance that everyone had been waiting for with George Pickens... The big issue for Pickens this week is that he'll see another secondary that loves to utilize two-high coverage. Green Bay has the fifth-highest rate of two high in the NFL (62.6%). Against two high, Pickens' target per route run rate drops to 15% and his YPRR dips to 1.59.

Pickens faces Green Bay's two-high coverage; his efficiency metrics drop significantly in that scheme.

George Pickens had a monster performance last week but faces a challenging matchup this week against Green Bay's two-high coverage defense. Pickens has a 20.8% target share with 2.06 YPRR overall, but against two-high coverage (which Green Bay uses at the fifth-highest rate at 62.6%), his target per route run rate drops to 15% and YPRR dips to 1.59. While Green Bay is 16th in yards per target allowed to perimeter wide receivers and 11th in fantasy points per opportunity, the two-high coverage scheme will limit Pickens' upside this week. He could salvage a middling stat line with a touchdown.
