From the video
George Pickkins was better than the games with Lamb, right? But in the games without CD Lamb, George Pickkins averaged 26 fantasy points per game. And the games with Lamb, and there were 14 of them, he was still the wide receiver 10 in points per game with 15. So, um, with a healthy CD Lamb, George Pickins was still a wide receiver one in fantasy.
STACKED’s take
WR1 value intact with healthy Lamb (15 PPG in 14 games); 24-year-old WR6 with strong historical comps.
Maintains WR1 fantasy value even with healthy CeeDee Lamb; in 14 games with Lamb healthy, Pickens averaged 15 fantasy points per game (WR10 pace), compared to 26 PPG in games without Lamb. The narrative that Pickens becomes a WR2 or WR3 with healthy Lamb is contradicted by flockfantasy.com database analysis. Ranked as WR1 in speaker's draft build; had exceptional 2024 season at age 24, finishing as WR6 in points per game with 17 PPG average. Historical comps (Michael Thomas, AJ Green, Odell Beckham Jr., Brandon Marshall, Dez Bryant, Nico Collins, Jaylen Waddle, Randall Cobb) all averaged at least 13 PPG the following year, with 6 of 8 averaging at least 17 PPG. Taking Pickens at 24 years old prices in some regression, but he has fewer red flags than Rasheed Rice, who had a knee operation and spent a month in jail this offseason. Ranked ahead of Jeremiah Love in speaker's rankings; selected as pivot pick at pick 22 after Love taken earlier than expert consensus average on flockfantasy.com.
