Keenan Allen Goes Nuclear In Week 3

Sunday, September 24, 5:23 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen had an enormous game in a Week 3 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Allen was targeted 20 times, making 18 catches for 215 yards. He also completed a 49-yard pass for a touchdown, the first of his career. Allen was projected to have a big game because of an excellent matchup against the Vikings zone defense, but he exceeded expectations in this one. He should have another big game in Week 4 at home against the Raiders. Allen remains a strong WR1 option every week.

George Pickens Leads Steelers Receivers In Week 3

Monday, September 25, 2:04 PM

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.
