Start: DAL WR George Pickens vs. ARI CB Will Johnson
Pickens has stayed productive since CeeDee Lamb returned two weeks ago. As one of the best contested catch receivers in the league, the former Steeler has been put in a position to succeed in this offense, and the numbers back that up. Dallas will square off against the Cardinals on Monday Night Football, which has the potential to be a shootout with Kyler Murray more than likely returning to action this week.
Pickens will have the advantage in one-on-one opportunities against the rookie corner Will Johnson. The Cardinals are giving up about 235 passing yards a game this season, so this plays into the Dallas offensive game plan perfectly. Start Pickens without a shadow of doubt.
Sit: DEN WR Troy Franklin vs. HOU CB Kamari Lassiter
One of the darlings of the waiver wire this week is surely to be Troy Franklin if he is not rostered in your league already. He is worth the pickup; however, this week could be challenging for him. Franklin has scored three touchdowns over the past two games, but Houston’s secondary is tough to throw the ball on. The Texans are giving up just 178 passing yards a game this season. Stash Franklin on your bench, and only plug him into your lineup if you are desperate.
