Quiet against Cowboys Pickens caught three of seven targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys.
Impact Pickens accounted for the only first-half catch by a Steelers wide receiver, as Justin Fields completed only four of nine pass attempts before halftime. Fields was better in the second half, but Pickens remained a near non-factor despite finishing with the team lead in targets. Pickens' yardage totals have fluctuated, but he has yet to score a touchdown heading into a Week 6 road game against the Raiders.

Big plays against Colts Pickens recorded seven receptions on 11 targets for 113 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Colts.
Impact Pickens had a disastrous first half that was defined by a lost fumble near the end zone that cost the Steelers points. However, as Pittsburgh attempted to make a frantic comeback in the final two quarters, Pickens showcased his big-play ability with a pair of catches that went for 38 and 37 yards, respectively -- both of which helped set up touchdowns. The only thing missing from the performance was a touchdown, but Pickens dominated targets and illustrated his upside when the team was forced to take to the air more aggressively.

Five catches in Week 3 win Pickens caught five of seven targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers.
Impact After picking up 85 receiving yards in the season opener, Pickens has just 86 across two subsequent games. No other Pittsburgh player has more than 108 receiving yards this season, so Pickens' middling production is the result of Justin Fields struggling as a passer rather than Pickens being outperformed by an alternative option. Given that context, Pickens would stand to benefit if Russell Wilson (calf) gains clearance to make his season debut and reclaims the starting quarterback job Week 4 against the Colts, but Fields is likely to remain under center after leading the Steelers to a 3-0 start.

Quiet against Denver Pickens recorded two receptions on four targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over Denver.
Impact The Steelers took an early lead and were content to rely on their defense and ground game to come away with a win. That, combined with a tough matchup against Patrick Surtain, limited Pickens' opportunity and production Sunday. Pittsburgh is likely to employ a similar game plan against the Chargers -- another conservative offensive team -- in Week 3, which could lead to a quiet performance from Pickens.

Racks up 85 yards Pickens recorded six receptions on seven targets for 85 yards in Sunday's 18-10 win over the Falcons.
Impact The Steelers were extremely run-heavy with Justin Fields under center, as they recorded 41 rushes as a team as compared to just 23 pass attempts. That limited volume for most pass catchers, with Pickens being the only exception. He did the majority of his damage on two long receptions that went for 40 and 33 yards. Pickens' big-play ability will help him put up big production on limited volume in the Pittsburgh offense, but he's still likely to be inconsistent as the season progresses.

Two catches in final rehearsal Pickens recorded two catches on two targets for 26 yards in Saturday's 24-17 preseason loss to the Lions.
Impact Pickens appeared in one drive with Russell Wilson under center and was targeted twice. The latter was an explosive catch as he ran deep across the middle of the field for a 32-yard gain. Pickens is unquestionably the top pass catcher in Pittsburgh and should be set to receive a large number of targets, barring a late addition to the wide receiver corps.
