Fantasy Football Week 4 matchups to exploit: Tee Higgins set to shine

Pickens has been the Steelers’ clear top receiver this season, leading the team with a 24% target share through three games. He’s earned more than twice as many targets as any other Pittsburgh receiver. Pickens currently ranks second in team air yard share according to Player Profiler, which is important for fantasy.

The past two games have been difficult matchups. Dell has faced the Bears and Vikings who both have top-four defenses according to NFL Pro. But this week the matchup gets much better. Dell will face the Jaguars who PFF has as…
