George Pickens Likely To Be Significant Factor On Offense
2 years agoNo matter who wins the starting quarterback job for the Pittsburgh Steelers, rookie wide receiver George Pickens is likely to be a significant factor on offense this year. The Steelers also have Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool, but Pickens has carved out a role with his impressive footwork and contested-catch abilities. He's been a favorite target of both Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph, which makes him a stash candidate in single-year fantasy football drafts, at the very least. With the Steelers likely to push the ball down the field more often than in recent years, the 21-year-old has plenty of upside in his rookie season. ESPN's Brooke Pryor thinks it's a possibility that Pickens has nine or more receiving touchdowns.
