STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Pickens faces Arizona's elite two-high defense; TPRR and YPRR drop significantly in that look.

Pickens is WR24 in fantasy points per game with at least 15 PPR points in two of his last three games, but faces Arizona's two-high heavy pass defense (70.5% two-high rate, highest in NFL). Against two-high, Pickens' TPRR drops from 35% (single-high) to 17%, and YPRR falls from 2.92 to 1.51. Arizona has allowed the most yards per target and third-most fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter receivers over the last five games, which could help offset coverage woes. The source projects a milder stat line this week and rates Pickens as a decent WR2 but not a blow-up spot.
