George Pickens Comes Down With Deep Ball Against Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens finished with three receptions for 58 yards on five targets in a Week 12 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. He gained 43 yards on a perfect deep pass from quarterback Kenny Pickett in the fourth quarter. Although Pickens failed to come through with a great fantasy performance, his presence was still felt as Pittsburgh posted 421 yards of offense. The Steelers were willing to take shots down the field in their first contest since parting ways with former offensive coordinator Matt Canada, which should raise Pickens' weekly upside going forward. The 22-year-old will look to capitalize on a soft matchup against the Arizona Cardinals next week.
