ArticleMonday NFL Roundup: Week 6October 12, 2026

From the article

Pickens was WR40 and Williams WR42 through four weeks. Lamb was WR2 and St. Brown WR3. Imagine if we opened the season with Pickens at WR4, Williams at WR9, St. Brown at WR23, and Lamb at WR84?

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Pickens surged from WR40 through four weeks to breakout status.

Pickens has surged dramatically after a slow start. He was WR40 through four weeks but has since climbed significantly in the rankings. The source notes that if he had opened the season at WR4 (his current trajectory), the narrative around him would be entirely different, highlighting his recent emergence as a top-tier receiver.
