George Pickens (Cowboys) vs. Cardinals: He's not No. 1 WR CeeDee Lamb, but Pickens has picked it up since Week 4 (14.0 fantasy points per game, 21-335-2 receiving, 33 targets, 77 Utilization Score) after a slow start in Weeks 1-3 (7.7 fantasy points per game, 16-150-0 receiving, 25 targets, 69 Utilization Score, per our Fantasy Life Utilization Report). The setup for the Cowboys is good. Although they're losing a day coming off Monday Night Football, they're indoors at home, where they have a boosted HFA because they're outside division and on turf (vs. grass). The Cards are No. 32 in defensive pass DVOA vs. No. 2 WRs (56.6%), and they could be without CB Max Melton (knee) and FS Andrew Wingard (knee) on top of No. 1 CB Will Johnson (neck, IR).
