From the episode
Pickens, according to Fantasy Points, Pickens is expected fantasy points per game is 13.2 points per game and a half PPR. He's only averaging 5.7. So he's basically just missed out on a few big plays... he's still getting a very solid target rate, over 20% and a very solid targets. First read target rate, again, I think it's like 21%... I really think he's a buy.
STACKED’s take
Positive signalValue
Pickens' expected 13.2 PPR points vs. 5.7 actual makes him a buy-low gem.
Pickens is a buy-low candidate despite averaging 5.7 points per game in half PPR through two games; his expected fantasy points per game is 13.2 according to Fantasy Points, indicating he's underperforming due to missed big plays (a drop in week one, defensive pass interference penalties) rather than role decline. He maintains a solid target rate over 20% and first-read target rate of 21%, still very good though not last-year levels. The source emphasizes Pickens is a really talented player in a good passing offense with Dak Prescott, and that panic sellers may be willing to move him after poor performances, making this an ideal buy window.
