George Pickens (DAL) Prayer Yards Rate: 44 percent... Pickens, meanwhile, finished with a 7 percent target share and a 25 percent air yards share... Pickens has seen a 44 percent prayer yards rate while Lamb has a 26 percent prayer yards rate... it's also a product of Dak Prescott being unusually inaccurate when throwing to Pickens. When that straightens out, Pickens drafters will be less sad on Sunday afternoons.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Pickens' 44% prayer yards rate offers upside if Prescott's accuracy improves.

George Pickens has a 44 percent prayer yards rate and represents a positive regression candidate; through four games he's seen a 7 percent target share and 25 percent air yards share while CeeDee Lamb saw 21 targets in a single game last Sunday. Pickens' high prayer yards rate is partly due to the downfield nature of his targets but also reflects Dak Prescott being unusually inaccurate when throwing to Pickens; when that straightens out, Pickens drafters will see improved Sunday performance.
