Who Should I Start? George Pickens or Jordan Addison

Tuesday, September 19, 11:00 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens finished with four receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in a 26-22 victory over the Cleveland Browns. The 22-year-old led Pittsburgh's pass-catchers in targets and yards on Monday night and was the team's only offensive player to find the end zone. He did so after getting wide open over the middle of the field and taking a pass from quarterback Kenny Pickett 71 yards to the house. With Diontae Johnson (hamstring) on Injured Reserve, Pickens should continue to be the clear WR1 for the Steelers through their Week 6 bye. Pickens will look to capitalize on his opportunity once again in Week 3 in a soft matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison caught 3-of-5 targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 34-28 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The 21-year-old gave the Vikings a much-needed lift in the third quarter by showing off his route-running skills and beating Josh Jobe for a 62-yard score. Addison essentially split targets once again with K.J. Osborn, who flipped six targets into 34 yards and a score of his own, but he also committed a few drops. The 2023 first-round pick now has seven receptions for 133 yards and two TDs over the first two games of his career, and is certainly nipping at Osborn's heels for more snaps. Addison will continue vying for added playing time as an upside WR3/4 bet in a potential Week 3 shootout with the Los Angeles Chargers.
