Yahoo Sports NFL on George Pickens

Pickens-Lamb same-side alignment shows 6.3 YPP vs. 4.6 YPP opposite sides.

Pickens is part of what the source describes as perhaps the best wide receiver duo across the league alongside CeeDee Lamb. Early-season data shows potential for increased production when Pickens and Lamb line up on the same side of the formation; in three such plays last week, the Cowboys converted all three for first downs and averaged 6.3 yards per play, compared to 4.6 yards per play on 32 plays where they lined up on opposite sides. The source suggests this alignment strategy could be deployed at a higher rate to overwhelm defenses, as doubling both star receivers simultaneously is theoretically difficult for opposing defenses.
