George Pickens is the WR23 in fantasy points per game, drawing a 20.3% target share with 1.96 YPRR, five red zone targets, seven deep targets, and a 22.4% first-read share. The matchup isn't easy this week, but if Philly continues their recent trend of single high usage, it could be a good coverage structure for his volume.

Pickens' single-high splits offer yardage upside but limited TD potential.

George Pickens is WR23 in fantasy points per game with a 20.3% target share, 1.96 YPRR, five red zone targets, seven deep targets, and 22.4% first-read share. Derek Brown notes the matchup isn't easy this week, but if Philadelphia continues their recent trend of single-high usage, it could be good for his volume. Since Week 5, Philly has had the eighth-highest single-high rate (60.5%). Pickens' splits against single high and two high have been dramatic: against single high, his TPRR rises from 17% to 35% and YPRR jumps from 1.58 to 2.74. Philly has allowed 13th-most yards per target to perimeter wide receivers but only one touchdown, so Pickens could pile up yardage but his touchdown prospects are dimmer.
