Pickens should explode this week. He is the WR50 in fantasy points per game and is due for a huge game. He has a 24% target share, a 49.9% air-yard share, 2.41 YPRR, and a 31.4% first-read share. He's tied for the team lead with one end-zone target. Among 96 qualifying receivers, he ranks 10th in separation and route win rate. Indy has the 10th-highest rate of single-high (57.1%). Against single high, Pickens has seen his YPRR jump to 2.90 and his first-read share climb to 51.7%. These are bonkers numbers. Pickens will run about 75% of his routes against Jaylon Jones (64.7% catch rate and 55.6 passer rating), Dallis Flowers (100% catch rate and 104.2 passer rating), and Samuel Womack lll (100% catch rate and 131.3 passer rating). Indy has allowed the 11th-highest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
