Pickens is a breakout candidate due to the Texans' high rate of single-high coverage

George Pickens is expected to have a breakout game against the Texans because Houston plays single-high coverage at the third-highest rate in the NFL (67%). Pickens has historically dominated single-high looks with a 30% target-per-route-run rate and 3.56 yards per route run.
