While fantasy football is not real football, if you are a productive player on the field normally you are productive in fantasy and vice versa. This is especially true at the quarterback position, and one fantasy expert, ESPN’s Mike Clay, believes Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett is about to break out and become a viable fantasy (and NFL) QB1.
Clay compared Pickett to last year’s version of Trevor Lawrence who has a breakout campaign last season and is quickly emerging as a superstar quarterback. Clay called Pickett “This season’s Trevor Lawrence” and believes his play both on the field and in fantasy will mimic other second-year leaps of quarterbacks drafted in the last half decade.
