Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb has missed basically all of the past two games. Teammate George Pickens ranks second among all WRs in expected PPR points for that time, trailing only Rams WR Puka Nacua. Pickens used a garbage-time TD to post a second straight good fantasy line against the Bears in Week 3. But he exploded for 8-134-2 receiving on 11 targets in Sunday night's tie with the Packers. Those numbers propelled him to second in actual PPR points at the position over the span as well.
Pickens didn't luck into production against the Packers. He played tremendously, including an excellent 28-yard catch in the second quarter that set the Cowboys up at the 1-yard line. Pickens secured that catch through the ground and contact with a pair of defenders.
He later took a short fourth-quarter catch 28 yards for the go-ahead TD. And Pickens helped set up the OT field goal with a 22-yarder.
The Green Bay matchup looked like the toughest among this four-week span. So that he crushed that one, it'll be even easier to start Pickens the next three weeks.
We'll see about the effect on his usage when Lamb returns, but we're still betting on good Pickens production going forward.
