Pittsburgh Steelers best touchdown scorer bet: George Pickens (+300)
In his short time in the NFL, George Pickens has proven himself to be an extremely high variance player. Pickens’ production on a game-by-game basis is often boom or bust, and we’ve seen that so far this season. However, it’s undeniable that the connection between Pickens and fellow rookie Kenny Pickett has become stronger as the year has gone on. These results manifested most recently in a strong 83-yard performance against the Bengals, which included a touchdown. That marked the second time in 3 games that Pickens found the end zone, which I expect to be a trend going forward. Given that his price to score is sitting at 3/1, I like the value that we’re getting with the rookie wideout here.
