Even with the return of Pittsburgh Steelers WR Diontae Johnson from injury in Week Seven against the Los Angeles Rams, opposing defenses have still keyed on WR George Pickens. Pickens is Pittsburgh’s leading receiver, with 30 receptions for 521 yards and three touchdowns, but over the last two weeks he’s been held to just three catches for 21 yards and a touchdown.
While he had a 22-yard touchdown pass reception against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week Eight, he was held to two catches for negative-one yards against the Tennessee Titans and failed to get his foot down on a play that should have been a touchdown.
