Pickens faces Arizona's two-high coverage; expect milder production despite perimeter weakness.
Pickens is WR24 in fantasy points per game with at least 15 PPR points in two of his last three games. He has a 20.5% target share, 2.00 YPRR, six red zone targets, nine deep targets, and 23.1% first-read share. However, Arizona is a two-high heavy pass defense with the highest two-high rate in the NFL (70.5%). Against two-high, Pickens' TPRR drops from 35% (single-high) to 17%, and his 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 wide receivers over their last five games, which could help, but the source projects a milder stat line this week. Pickens could still be a decent WR2, but this doesn't look like a blow-up spot.
