0:00.0 | So many big name wide receivers have gone down with injuries and it might have impacted your fantasy team. |
0:04.4 | But even if it didn't, right now is the time before week three in the season gets going to |
0:08.0 | improve your team. So in this video, we're talking about seven wide receivers you should be looking |
0:11.7 | to trade for right now in your fantasy leagues. And I want to start with the Pittsburgh Steelers wide |
0:15.6 | receiver George Pickens. Yes, George Pickens, who I know. I know you're going to say, but Sal, this dude only had two catches for 29 yards in week two. |
0:22.5 | Yes, but did you actually watch the game? |
0:24.0 | Because as Ian Harditz points out so wisely here on Twitter, yes, he had only two catches for 29 yards, |
0:29.0 | but he had a 51-yard catch called back by a penalty on the offensive line that really wasn't going to affect the play all that much. |
0:34.9 | He had a six-yard touchdown call back into that game. That one was probably more so. And then he had a 37-yard pass interference drew on Patrick |
0:41.2 | Sertan. So even though he faced the great Patrick Sartan, who has been great, Sertan also shut |
0:45.4 | down D.K. McCaff in week one, pickens kind of got his own and got his licks in this game |
0:49.3 | as well. So when you see the box score of less than five fantasy points, two catches, 29 yards, just four targets in this |
0:54.3 | game, even though two were called back by penalty. Well, now, actually three were called back |
0:57.6 | by penalty. Well, now you're going to start to see, okay, this is maybe a buy-low opportunity |
1:01.6 | for me. I know Justin Field doesn't great. Who knows if he'll be the quarterback all season there, |
1:05.3 | but I do think they're going to have to throw more than like 18 times a game in Pittsburgh. And now if you actually watch the tape on NFL Pro, if you get a membership there or wherever, you can watch the tape right now. And he looks |
1:13.8 | pretty good on these routes, George Pickings. He looks crispy, especially on the ones to the middle |
1:17.3 | of the field. And it shouldn't surprise you that he currently leads the Pittsburgh Steelers wide |
1:20.5 | receivers running 78% of the team's routes in earning a 26% target share. But I do want to call out that 26% target share. The amount of his team's |
1:28.0 | target said he's earning a percentage is more than double the next closest wide receiver, |
1:31.9 | just 13% for Van Jefferson. Right now, we thought this coming into the season, but George |
1:36.0 | Pickens is the clear-cut number one receiver on his team. Kind of like how Malik Neighbors is for the |
