There’s a golden opportunity awaiting WR Mike Williams for the Steelers if George Pickens misses more time. Given the way that his year has gone, he is certainly not unaware of that fact. He has struggled to contribute now across two teams, and that has been partly based on circumstance.
With Pickens out on Sunday, Williams saw five targets, including one no-play negated by penalty. Considering he saw one target in his first four games—and he wasn’t even supposed to be on the field—that is a marked difference. While he may not wish for anybody to be down, nevertheless, Willaims understands this moment for what it is.
