George Pickens A Low-End Flex In Week 1
2 years agoPittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens will make his NFL debut in a road game against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1. Pickens earned rave reviews in training camp, causing plenty of hype to surround the rookie. The 21-year-old's Week 1 outlook is dependent on the injury status of Diontae Johnson, who has been limited in practice with a shoulder injury. If Johnson plays, fantasy managers can treat Pickens as a low-end flex option. If Johnson is inactive, Pickens becomes interesting as a WR3 against a Cincinnati defense that allowed the 18th-most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers in 2021.
