Who Should I Start? Terry McLaurin or George Pickens

Thursday, November 23, 9:22 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin turned 11 targets into just four catches for 50 yards during Thursday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Despite the heavy volume, Washington's No. 1 receiver had a relatively uneventful game, delivering single-digit fantasy points (PPR) for the third consecutive week. On a positive note, the opportunities existed between his hefty target share and Sam Howell's 300 passing yards. Perhaps McLaurin can bounce back as a low-end WR2 versus the Miami Dolphins in Week 13.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens finished with three receptions for 58 yards on five targets in a Week 12 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. He gained 43 yards on a perfect deep pass from quarterback Kenny Pickett in the fourth quarter. Although Pickens failed to come through with a great fantasy performance, his presence was still felt as Pittsburgh posted 421 yards of offense. The Steelers were willing to take shots down the field in their first contest since parting ways with former offensive coordinator Matt Canada, which should raise Pickens' weekly upside going forward. The 22-year-old will look to capitalize on a soft matchup against the Arizona Cardinals next week.
