From the episode

So for Pickens, he is six targets, three catches, 28 yards, and then most recently eight targets, six receptions and 40 yards. The thing about him is he is the player that is regressing back to the average.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Pickens' regression and Lamb overlap suggest he was overdrafted relative to peers.

Pickens has regressed to the mean after running hot last year; through two weeks he has 6 targets/3 catches/28 yards and 8 targets/6 receptions/40 yards; he is running cold and there is concern that he may have been drafted too high given the long sample size of him and CeeDee Lamb together, suggesting he should have been drafted closer to Tee Higgins' range.
