Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens failed to make an impact in the team's final game of the regular season but will need to step up against the Baltimore Ravens in the first round of the NFL playoffs. Pickens was injured for Pittsburgh's most recent meeting with Baltimore, but back in Week 11, he earned 12 targets and logged eight receptions for 89 yards against his division rival. The Ravens allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to wideouts this season, so this is certainly a matchup that Pickens can find success in. Unfortunately, quarterback Russell Wilson and the Steelers' offense as a whole have been wildly inconsistent, making it extremely difficult to rely on Pickens' production. That said, he has a high ceiling this weekend and can be considered a low-end WR1 or high-end WR2 in fantasy contests.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has seen his role in the offense heavily decrease over the last few weeks. In fact, White didn't record a single touch during the regular season finale against the New Orleans Saints. Before that, White had seen a total of nine touches on the ground over his previous two games. Fellow back Bucky Irving has run away with the lead back job in Tampa Bay, which is bad news for White heading into Sunday's Wild-Card game against the Washington Commanders. It's unclear what kind of role White is going to have this weekend, but he might not play at all. It's possible that White becomes the receiving back while Irving does a majority of the rushing. However, DFS shouldn't trust White at all for this Wild Card round.
