Pickens ran a route on all but four of Dak Prescott's dropbacks. That was the fewest of any Dallas receiver. He led the crew in air yards and was behind CeeDee Lamb by just two looks. And against the Commanders' secondary, that's all we need.

Pickens' route share and air yards support a ceiling game vs. Commanders' weak secondary.

Pickens ran a route on all but four of Dak Prescott's dropbacks (fewest of any Dallas receiver), led the crew in air yards, and was behind CeeDee Lamb by just two looks, placing him on the edge of WR1B/WR2 status. Against Washington's secondary (125.7 QB rating allowed, 28th ranked), CB Mike Sainristil—who primarily lines up on Pickens' side—allowed the third-highest passer rating of all CBs when targeted. Washington also gave up the eighth-most yards on throws of 15+ air yards. The source says: 'If there's an environment that enables Pickens to get back on track, it'll be back home against the Commanders.'
