From the article

We've seen Pickens beat Sauce Gardner deep before, even if we aren't expecting a specific shadow this week anyway. Maybe the bigger worry is that this edition of the Colts runs man coverage at the eighth-highest clip in the league, and Ryan Flournoy actually holds advantages over Pickens.

NeutralMatchup

Pickens avoids Gardner shadow but faces Flournoy in man coverage; snap share declining.

Will not face shadow assignment from Colts CB Sauce Gardner in Week 9; however, Colts run man coverage at eighth-highest clip in league, and Ryan Flournoy holds advantages over Pickens in yards per route run (1.5 vs. 1.37) and targets per route run (0.27 vs. 0.23) against man coverage. Pickens has dropped from near every-snap player to hovering around 60 percent snaps last two weeks, potentially due to injury, Flournoy competition, effort, or trade speculation.
