Pickens faces elite 49ers defense but they've struggled vs. elite outside receivers.

Pickens is part of the Cowboys' most potent receiving corps the 49ers have faced this season. The 49ers allow slot receivers a 51% target share (second-lowest in league) and have allowed only 31 yards per game over the middle (best in NFL). However, Pickens will be on the outside. The best receiver the 49ers faced this season, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, had 102 yards on five catches, and Brock Bowers had 111 yards last week, suggesting the Niners' cornerbacks have struggled against elite outside receivers.
