Pickens has 40 targets on the season, which by far leads the Steelers. Allen Robinson II is second with 26, followed by Jaylen Warren (25) and Calvin Austin III (22).

? Matt Canada’s offensive scheme hasn’t been doing Kenny Pickett many favors. Pickett has faced the most “perfectly covered” offensive looks of any quarterback in the NFL so far this season.
