Pickens had a poor Week 1 outing, just as he did in 2025 before lighting up the league the rest of the way... There's no reason to change our perspective out of Week 1. He had 104 air yards and a 20% target share and 90% route rate... The matchup with the Commanders is a great one.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Pickens' elite air yards and Commanders' splash-play vulnerability support WR1 floor.

Pickens had a poor Week 1 outing (dropped an in-cut and downfield sideline go ball) but this mirrors his 2025 pattern before lighting up the league. He drew a 41-yard DPI on third down and came away with three underneath catches on strong route running, posting 104 air yards and a 20% target share on a 90% route rate. In 14 games with Lamb, Pickens is WR14 on WR15 usage on a 22% target share while running less hot than usual on TDs—a low-end WR1. The Commanders matchup is excellent; Dallas projects for 27.5 points (fifth) at home, and Washington allowed splash plays to Dontayvion Wicks (twice), Devonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert in Week 1.
