Pickens' minimal slot usage limits ceiling vs. Texans despite balanced target share.

Pickens faces Houston in Week 4 with a concerning deployment mismatch. While targets have balanced between him and CeeDee Lamb since Week 1, Pickens' slot rates through three weeks (4.5%, 2.4%, 8.3%) show minimal interior usage; Dak Prescott has thrown to him just twice from the slot. Dallas' WR1B doesn't fit the archetype of receivers who've succeeded from the slot against the Texans. Week 1 saw DJ Moore go 4-85-1 from the slot, and Week 2 saw Ja'Marr Chase go 6-66-2 from the slot. While Pickens has the deep speed for post routes and sideline grabs, his limited slot deployment limits his ceiling against Houston.
