they are starting to limit George Pickens' routes. Now, that could be because one, he's not super engaged, doesn't want to run block. He has also the last 2 weeks in practice been listed with, I mean, shoulder injuries and knee injuries.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Route participation dropped to 65% from 89%; injury or engagement concerns limit upside.

Route share dropped to 65% in Week 9 vs. Dallas, down from 89% in Week 7. Davis Mattek attributes this to two possible reasons: (1) lack of engagement and unwillingness to run block, or (2) injury concerns—Pickens has been listed in practice with shoulder and knee injuries over the last two weeks, suggesting he may not be 100% healthy. At $6,300 salary, Mattek notes Pickens could be a contrarian play if he returns to normal route participation, particularly because he won't be popular after the recent decline.
