New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas drew another nine targets in the Week 3 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Thomas has consistently drawn targets in the short field, catching six passes for 50 yards this week. Every week, he has had between eight and nine targets, five to seven receptions, and between 50-61 yards. Thomas has failed to find the end zone yet this season. He is a reliable flex option with a safe floor in PPR leagues, but has a limited ceiling.

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.
