I see almost no gap in production between Pickens and CeeDee Lamb, yet Pickens is often available more than a full round later. I'm drafting him with confidence as a WR1 or the ultimate WR2.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Pickens' post-bye production rivals Lamb's but costs a full round less at WR9.

Pickens' reception totals have climbed every year (52, 63, 59, 93 last season), and his TD total jumped from three to nine once he left Pittsburgh for Dallas. He has missed just five games in three seasons and played all 17 games last year. After the bye last season, he averaged nine targets, six catches, 94 yards and 18.1 PPR points per game. The franchise tag locks him in for one more year before a massive 2027 contract, keeping him motivated. There was a two-week cold spell in Weeks 14-15 when he averaged four catches and 35 yards; focus questions from Pittsburgh could resurface. Jim Coventry's take: almost no gap in production between Pickens and CeeDee Lamb, yet Pickens available more than a full round later; drafting with confidence as a WR1 or ultimate WR2.
