George Pickens Again Leads Dallas in Receiving

Sunday, October 18, 10:05 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens racked up 73 yards and six receptions on 11 targets in the team's 23-13 loss to the hosting Green Bay Packers. The former Georgia Bulldog led the Cowboys in receiving yards for the second straight game, although this time he did so with fellow wideout CeeDee Lamb on the field for a full complement of snaps. For what it's worth, Lamb's 18 targets far outpaced Pickens' total, but it's another strong outing for the latter after he sat on an 8/98/1 line (13 targets) through Dallas' first two games. Due to the nature of the 25-year-old's play style, he'll always be somewhat volatile, albeit more consistent than earlier in his career. As long as quarterback Dak Prescott is right, Pickens and Lamb should remain one of the league's more intimidating WR duos. They'll look to get back in the win column next Monday night in a divisional matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Only a Deep-League Option in Texans Debut

Saturday, October 17, 2:46 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is set to make his debut for his new team with a limited package against the Jaguars in Week 6. Coach DeMeco Ryans praised the receiver's work to learn the team's playbook after he was acquired earlier this week, but he also said, "Don't expect him to come out and play all 60 snaps in the game, but we'll make sure he gets what he needs." While the team will want to showcase its new addition, Harrison will be a high-risk option since he is still just ramping up with his new team's playbook and terminology. He only had five catches for 85 yards and one touchdown in four games with the Cardinals before the trade, so he may need time to settle in and find his form. In his limited role in Week 6, he's only RotoBaller's No. 71 WR, so he isn't a strong starter in most formats this week.
