The former Georgia star has scored 8.2 or fewer fantasy points in 60% of the games this season. Unfortunately, Pickens hasn’t scored more than 12.8 fantasy points in any game this year. More importantly, he has struggled despite being given every opportunity to succeed.
Pickens ranks 10th in the NFL in target share (27.9%) and 13th in air yards (362). Yet, he is outside the top 40 wide receivers in fantasy points. Part of his problem is a lack of touchdowns, totaling zero in 2024.
George Pickens is already MAD this season 😡

While the veteran is a boom-or-bust flex option in Week 6, Pickens has a solid matchup. He faces a Las Vegas Raiders defense that gave up 22.8 fantasy points to the Denver Broncos wide receiver core last week on only seven receptions.
