Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or George Pickens

Monday, September 25, 12:08 AM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams caught 13 of 19 targets for 172 receiving yards and two touchdowns in the team's 23-18 loss to the Steelers on Sunday night. Adams routinely found holes in the Pittsburgh defense leading to a 43% target share on the night, including an athletic first-quarter 32-yard touchdown reception in double coverage. The 30-year-old has now tallied 36 targets in three games and continues to be a locked and loaded WR1. Adams faces off with the Chargers and their porous pass defense next week.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens recorded four receptions for 75 yards on six targets in a 23-18 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. Although Pickens didn't repeat the dominant performance he had in Week 2, the 22-year-old still tied for the team lead in targets and led all Steelers in receiving yards. With Kenny Pickett looking much improved on Sunday night, there is reason to believe that Pickens can continue to post solid fantasy production going forward. With Diontae Johnson (hamstring) out for at least the next two games, Pickens should be viewed as a quality WR3 or flex option.
