The desk on him

DAL WR

sit Hit

Sit George Pickens, the target share didn't show up on the field

6 targets and a 20% share turned into just 28 yards and 5.8 points, and that's the problem, the opportunity was there and the production wasn't. He was a WR5 last season averaging 17.2 points a game, so the talent's obviously real, but I need to see him actually cash in a game before I trust him again. Bench him this week and let him figure it out against someone else's roster.
