Good news, Pickens managers: this is the best (and most concrete) news we’ve heard about Pickens over the past few weeks, and it’s looking more and more like Pickens won’t be late for Christmas after all. The Steelers' passing game has desperately missed Pickens’ presence over the past three games, with QB Russell Wilson averaging under 200 yards passing per game and no Steelers receivers having any fantasy-relevant finishes in that span. He’ll return to a tough matchup against the Chiefs but will be a must-start in fantasy championships across the board as a WR2 play. With Pickens back, Russell Wilson’s floor raises back into the comfortable streamer territory, while he’ll also have a shot at low-QB1 upside if Pittsburgh winds up having to throw the ball more than they would like.
