If anything, the former Steeler became the better fantasy option at 17.5 PPR PPG down the stretch. Like gamers targeting Tee Higgins, how we think about Pickens — and Dak Prescott, by extension — will change in a few months.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Pickens' 17.5 PPR PPG down stretch rivals Lamb despite lower target rate.

Pickens had a career year in his final rookie contract season after the trade from Pittsburgh; after CeeDee Lamb returned from high ankle sprain, Pickens maintained elite efficiency with 24% target rate (vs. Lamb's 26%), 22% targets per route run (vs. Lamb's 25%), and 2.42 yards per route run (vs. Lamb's 2.31), becoming the better fantasy option down the stretch at 17.5 PPR PPG weeks 8-17, suggesting his role should be considered WR1B instead of WR2.
