Who Should I Start? Kadarius Toney or George Pickens

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (toe) went backward for one yard on his only catch in Week 3's 41-10 thumping of the Chicago Bears. The 24-year-old was questionable with a toe issue entering play, but his presence was barely noticeable, anyway. After his uneventful first-quarter play, Toney was not turned to again on a day the Chiefs marched up and down the field for five touchdowns. The former first-rounder's talent remains fleeting, and second-round rookie Rashee Rice could start eating into his opportunity before long after catching five balls for 59 yards on Sunday. Toney appears to be at risk of being phased out of the offense, but it's still too early to cast that judgment. Still, he has devolved into a luxury bench stash at best, but we probably wouldn't blame you for hitting the drop button on a hot waiver pickup like Tank Dell or Adam Thielen.

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.
