George Pickens News
Friday, October 2, 10:08 PM
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens is fresh off his best game of the 2026 season, but it still feels like there's meat left on the bone for fantasy managers who drafted him in the second round of fantasy drafts. His eight catches for 82 yards against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3 constituted his best game of the season, but he hasn't reached the end zone yet and ranks outside the top-30 fantasy football wide receivers through three games. It's been a far cry from his WR5 overall finish in 2025, in which he eclipsed 25 PPR fantasy points on five separate occasions. A tough matchup with the Houston Texans on the road lies ahead -- they have one of the best pass defense in the NFL in recent times. Pickens matches up well against all but the best cornerbacks in the NFL, and having wide receiver CeeDee Lamb to draw away coverage helps immensely, but he's just a mid-range WR2 with upside for this matchup. He should be started in all leagues anyway, as he's been targeted at a high enough rate that an explosion game feels imminent.

Malik Nabers News
Saturday, October 3, 6:31 AM
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers caught five of six targets for 26 yards in the 12-7 win over the Tennessee Titans. Amid nasty weather and a run-first Giants offense, Nabers couldn't produce again, as he starts his season slowly. In three games, he has caught 12 of 19 targets for 96 yards, averaging 5.2 half-PPR fantasy points per game, which ranks him as the WR71 on a per-game basis. His struggles with quarterback Jameis Winston are evident, and both are hoping to bounce back against an Arizona Cardinals secondary that has allowed the second-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. With Cardinals cornerbacks Will Johnson (neck) and Garrett Williams (achilles) ruled out and Max Melton (toe) questionable, Nabers and the Giants' receivers should be able to produce. As he looks to kick-start his slow start, Nabers is a low-end WR2 with WR1 upside in Week 4.
