FantasyPros Articles on George Pickens
From the article
Yet, no one should be surprised when he has a bounce-back performance on Sunday in what should be a high-scoring matchup. Last year, the former Georgia star played well in the two matchups against the Commanders, averaging 20 receiving yards per reception and 2.2 fantasy points per target. Meanwhile, Washington struggled to contain Dontayvion Wicks last week, as he made multiple downfield plays against their secondary, totaling 73 receiving yards, a touchdown and 15.3 fantasy points on just four targets.
STACKED’s take
Pickens is a smash start in Week 2 against Washington in a high-scoring matchup.
Pickens is identified as a smash start in Week 2 against Washington despite a quiet 5.8 PPR fantasy points in Week 1 against the Giants. The source expects a bounce-back performance based on two factors: (1) historical matchup advantage—Pickens averaged 20 receiving yards per reception and 2.2 fantasy points per target in two games against Washington last year; (2) Washington's secondary struggled to contain receivers in Week 1, as Dontayvion Wicks totaled 73 receiving yards, a touchdown and 15.3 fantasy points on just four targets. The matchup has the second-highest projected point total in Week 2 (50.5 per DraftKings), suggesting a high-scoring game where most offensive options should be started with confidence.
