With Russell Wilson, George Pickens Is Finally Putting Up The Pro Bowl Numbers He Thought He Had All Along

In three games with Russell Wilson, Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens is on pace for a 79-reception, 1,564-yard, 11-touchdown season. The only problem is he already played six out of 17 games with Justin Fields. In those six games, his pace looked more like 74 for 1,028 and 0. Taken altogether, his projection shakes out to 76-1,207-4.

But Pickens should be on a progressive trajectory because of Russell Wilson, so we can’t go by those numbers. The Steelers have eight more games left, so a better projection would take that sample and use the last three games. If he continues his pace with Wilson, he’ll add 37 more catches for 736 yards and 5-6 touchdowns.
