Fantasy Focus Football on George Pickens

Pickens' 9th-route rank with only 24th-target share signals breakout potential against weak Bucs pass defense.

George Pickens has had a bottom-five percentile outcome through four games despite strong underlying metrics: 9th in routes run, but only 24th in targets, 22nd in receptions, and 28th in receiving yards. He has only one end zone target, which needs to change given his size and talent. The Buccaneers have allowed a wide receiver to reach 20-plus fantasy points in two separate games this year (against Cleveland, Minnesota, and Green Bay), so this is not a scary matchup. Source believes Pickens' revenge tour begins Thursday night against Tampa Bay.
