A few big games during a six-game stretch to start the season put Pickens on the fantasy map during his 2nd year. He dominated down the field with big plays, racking up three 100-yard games during that run, displaying dazzling physical traits. Unfortunately, that hot start was followed by a vile stretch of football, as the Steelers rotated quarterbacks. Pickens showed a lack of maturity as he struggled to handle the adversity, getting called out for not giving maximum effort at times. Between Weeks 8 and 15 he only reached 80 yards once, and the endzone might as well have been camouflaged, as Pickens didn't see it again until Week 16. Explosions in Week 16 and 17 were followed with duds in the season's final two contests.

Starting Pickens was a wild ride in 2023, but things should be much less volatile this season. Wilson should bring some stability to the offense, and he's always had a penchant for throwing the deep ball, something Pickens specializes in, as his 10.8 yards-per-target was 3rd best among receivers with at least 50 receptions. Despite the trade rumors for Brandon Aiyuk, Pickens remains the clear alpha in this offense with the trade of Diontae Johnson. A good chunk of those 87 lost targets should go to Pickens as he works to become a more proficient route runner. As he enters his 3rd year, Pickens has the talent and opportunity to be a WR1 if he can keep his head straight.

Mike Williams dealt to Pittsburgh
NYJ receives 2025 fifth-round pick in return

Another trade: Pittsburgh is trading a 2025 fifth-round pick to the Jets for WR Mike Williams, per source. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)

FFToday's Take: Although Williams' time in New York did not go as planned, Williams is still a very good deep threat and contested-catch receiver. At worst, he should quickly emerge as a capable complementary receiver who can stretch the field and take some of the defensive attention away from George Pickens. It may be too much to ask Williams to be useful in fantasy in Week 10 against the Commanders, but Williams could emerge as a viable flex option in deeper leagues later this month.
