Talented WR with 17 PPG last year; positioned as upside play relative to CD Lamb. While Lamb is odds-on favorite for WR1, Pickens has legitimate upside scenario where he hits 20+ PPG and Lamb regresses to 16 PPG—outcome within range of possibilities. Not to be buried despite Lamb's career-peak advantage; everything on table for both to thrive with Dak Prescott's multiple 4,500+ yard and 35+ TD seasons.
