Let’s be honest, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ receiving room leaves a lot to be desired on paper. Heading into their Sunday matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, it’s hard to imagine the veteran duo of Van Jefferson and Scotty Miller striking fear into the Falcons’ defense.
George Pickens, however, will have their attention. As the team’s clear-cut No. 1 receiver, Pickens will need to have a monster game in order for the Steelers to leave Atlanta with a win. Or at least, that’s what Pro Football Focus’ Trevor Sikkema believes.
“When you look at this receiver group, George Pickens has got to have a monster game for this team because I don’t know who else does,” Sikkema said during PFF’s Week 1 Preview.
