His slot rates through three weeks have been 4.5%, 2.4% and 8.3%. Dak Prescott has thrown to Pickens just twice from the interior. And unfortunately, Dallas' WR1B doesn't fit the archetype of receivers who've won from the same area against the Texans.

Negative signalMatchup

Pickens' inconsistent slot usage and Houston's tough coverage lower Week 4 expectations.

Pickens faces a difficult Week 4 matchup against Houston's defense. His slot rate has been inconsistent (4.5%, 2.4%, 8.3% through three weeks), and Dak Prescott has targeted him just twice from the interior. While Pickens has the deep speed and sideline ability to produce, the combination of Houston's defensive front and perimeter coverage warrants lowered expectations for Sunday. Recent WR1 performances against the Texans (DJ Moore 4-85-1 in Week 1, Ja'Marr Chase 6-66-2 in Week 2) suggest the matchup is challenging for receivers who don't fit the archetype of those who've succeeded there.
