Arizona is a two-high, heavy pass defense. Pickens has a 20.5% target share with 2.00 YPRR, six red zone targets, nine deep targets, and a 23.1% first-read share. Arizona has the highest two-high rate in the NFL (70.5%). Against two high, Pickens' TPRR drops off a map from 35% (against single high) to 17%, and his YPRR falls from 2.92 to 1.51.

STACKED’s take

NeutralMatchup

Pickens faces tough two-high defense but Arizona weak vs. perimeter WRs; decent WR2 floor.

Pickens faces Arizona's two-high heavy pass defense (70.5% two-high rate, highest in NFL); his target participation rate drops from 35% against single-high to 17% against two-high, and yards per route run falls from 2.92 to 1.51; however, Arizona has allowed the most yards per target and third-most fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter wide receivers in their last five games, which could counteract coverage woes; Derek Brown projects a milder stat line and rates him as a decent WR2 this week, not a blow-up spot.
