Wide receiver George Pickens provided solid output for fantasy football managers in Week 7, highlighted by an impressive touchdown reception in the corner of the end zone. He finished Monday night’s game with four receptions for 57 yards as the offense operated primarily through Javonte Williams and Tyler Goodson.

The outing broke a four-game streak in which Pickens had recorded more than 70 receiving yards in each contest. Despite the reduced yardage, he has effectively recovered from a quiet start to the season, averaging 5.6 catches and 83 yards per game over his last five appearances while finding the end zone twice.
Although a transition to a more run-focused offensive game plan could potentially limit Pickens’ targets over the long term, a single contest is not definitive proof of a permanent strategy shift. As the team prepares for Sunday’s matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, Pickens remains a viable starting option in the WR2 tier for fantasy rosters.
