Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens is facing a potential absence due to a Grade 2 hamstring strain, which he suffered just before Week 14's game against the Cleveland Browns. His condition has raised concerns among fantasy football managers, especially with the playoffs approaching.

Despite his strong performance this season, averaging 16.0 PPR points per game under quarterback Russell Wilson, Pickens is expected to miss the upcoming game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Fantasy players should monitor his status closely and consider alternatives for their lineups.
