Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens had one catch on six targets and didn't gain a yard in a 19-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 18.
Huddle Up: Pickens has four catches in two game since returning from injury, and the Pittsburgh offense desperately need Pickens and Russell Wilson to recapture their big-play connection. Pickens will be a high-risk, high-reward option in playoff contests.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens caught three passes for 50 yards vs. the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17 on Wednesday, Dec. 25. He was targeted seven times.
Huddle Up: The Steelers have locked themselves into a playoff spot, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see key players get rested in what could be an effectively meaningless game. More to come, but at least he has a decent enough matchup profile vs. Cincinnati should he go.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens (hamstring) practiced in full all week and has been removed from the injury report for Week 17 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Huddle Up: Pickens missed three games at the most critical time of the year for fantasy managers, but his return is a big boost for the Steelers and managers who were able to advance to their league championship games without him. Pittsburgh went 1-2 and averaged 19 points during his absence. Pickens could push for 10 or more targets and should be considered a strong WR2 option on Christmas Day.

Huddle Up: Pickens appears to be on track to play after missing multiple games because of the injury. He is the main option in the passing game when healthy and should be a starting option in all leagues if he plays.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens (hamstring) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 19, and has been ruled out for Week 16.
Huddle Up: The Steelers likely are taking their time with Pickens since they have clinched a playoff spot, so he may not play much before the playoffs. Mike Williams, Calvin Austin and Van Jefferson will be the main receivers against the Baltimore Ravens, but none of them are more than a possible flex option in deeper leagues.
