George Pickens

George Pickens caught 5-of-9 targets for 111 yards and a touchdown in the Steelers’ Week 7 win over the Jets.

Pickens’ nine targets handily led the team on a night no other pass-catcher saw more than four looks on 29 Russell Wilson pass attempts. The two connected from 11 yards out just before the half following a Beanie Bishop interception that gave the Steelers the momentum for the remainder of the contest. Most notable from the connection between Pickens and Wilson were the timing-based receptions on either back shoulder or over-the-shoulder catches, something Pickens had not developed with Justin Fields during the first six weeks of the season. Pickens should have another solid opportunity for elite fantasy production in Week 8 when the Steelers host the Giants.
