George Pickens Week 8 Outlook - Giants at Steelers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 24th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Pickens is the WR34 in fantasy points per game while ranking fourth in deep targets and red zone targets among wide receivers. Pickens has been a volume hog with a 27.4% target share, a 50.6% air-yard share, 2.66 YPRR, and a 35.3% first-read share. The Giants have the sixth-highest single high rate in the NFL (60.3%). Against single-high, Pickens has seen his target share increase to 32.7%, his YPRR increase to 2.92, and his first-read share fly through the roof to 43.1%. Pickens should feast this week against a secondary that has allowed the fourth-highest PPR points per target and the 11th-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
