During a two-game stretch at the end of the Justin Fields era, Steelers WR George Pickens saw fewer snaps. In one game, his snap percentage dipped all the way below 60 percent, for the first time in his career. After the game, Steelers HC Mike Tomlin chalked it up to load management. Few bought that story, which coincided with a concerning string of antics from the mercurial wide receiver.
The following week, Pickens played more snaps than any one wide receiver, but still a lower percentage, under 70 percent. That was the last game Justin Fields started.
