From the article

Pickens led the Cowboys with a 16.1-yard average depth of target and 37.9% of the team's air yards, signaling the kind of role the Cowboys see for him. Washington offers a logical bounce-back opportunity. The Commanders' secondary is already dealing with the absence of Trey Amos, while Washington cornerback Mike Sainristil was criticized heavily for a poor Week 1 performance.

Pickens is a buy against Washington's weakened secondary despite Week 1 drops.

Pickens is a buy for Week 2 against Washington despite a marginal Week 1 stat line (3 catches, 28 yards on 6 targets) because he led the Cowboys with 16.1-yard average depth of target and 37.9% of the team's air yards, signaling his primary role in the offense. Washington's secondary is weakened by the absence of Trey Amos, and cornerback Mike Sainristil was criticized heavily for a poor Week 1 performance. As a 2025 Pro Bowler, Pickens is due for a bounce-back opportunity against a vulnerable secondary.
