As everybody expected, WR George Pickens was a focal point of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense in Week 1. He finished the game with six catches for 85 yards, and it would have been more if not for a questionable offensive pass interference penalty that negated one big play.
While Pickens is past the point of catching anybody off-guard at this point, he still faces a new dynamic. After the Steelers traded Diontae Johnson, he is now the No. 1 WR on a team that has no 2. The rest of the receivers combined for two catches for eight yards on three targets.
