Tempted to start Pickens although Pittman is probably in a better matchup??
Funny, I’m planning to do exactly the same in one league. Can’t trust Pittman as long as the Colts are in complete turmoil.
In another league, I need to decide whether I want to start Pickens or Diontae.
I would go Diontae over Pickens…pretty close though with Pickens upside.
Diontae is ranked/projected a tad higher pretty much everywhere, but I’m tempted to gamble on Pickens’ upside.
Both Pittman and Pickens are playing with rookie QB’s. I prefer Pittman against the Raiders defense over Pickens against the Saints defense.
Diontae is easily the choice here, based on floor. I’m not ready to gamble on Pickens upside yet.
Diontae is seeing more targets, but only outscored Pickens in FFP in only 1 of the last 5 games. Mostly because Pickens reaches 13 YPC, Diontae only 8.5
The Saints are a good matchup for the Steelers’ WRs. Diontae should draw most of the defense’s attention, which could open some nice doors for Pickens.
It is a gamble to start Pickens over Diontae, and I think I’m ready to take it.
Dionatae does not catch a fair percentage of his many targets and has has five bad games in a row. I do not touch him
Pickins has been a top 20 WR in 3 of the las 5 weeks. The exceptions were when
TG and Philly manhandled his QB and team. I can’t imagine anyone expecting anything in those two games.
Add in last weeks by when I think they would have added to the rookies plate and Pickins is my choice.
I am so nervous about the Colts passing offense on the road…yes it a great matchup but so much has happened in the organization during this week…just do not know which way it is gonna go…
The Steelers gave away Claypool for a reason…i think they see the spark in Pickens…so I am really torn making the choice…
