2024 Receiving Projections
Declares for draft
Pickens declared for the 2022 NFL Draft on Friday, forgoing his remaining eligibility at Georgia, Jordan Reid of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Pickens appeared in only four games during his junior season after tearing his ACL in spring practice, but the star wideout made some impact plays for the Bulldogs during the SEC and National Championship games against Alabama. If not for the injury, Pickens likely would have been among the top receivers in the SEC this season. He concludes his Georgia career with 90 catches for 1,347 yards and 14 touchdowns in 24 games. The medicals will play a major role in Pickens' draft stock but the fact that he was able to return nine months after the injury bodes well for him. His film and measurables paint him as one of the most talented receiver prospects in the class.

2020 Fantasy Outlook
Pickens led the Bulldogs in all major receiving categories in 2019, and seemed to get better as his freshman season wore on. Pickens found the end zone in each of Georgia’s last four games, and his superb performance in the Sugar Bowl is perhaps a sign that he is emerging as a bona fide superstar. Pickens erupted with 12 catches for 175 yards and a touchdown in the 26-14 win over Baylor. The one question mark for Pickens and the Georgia offense will be who lines up under center with the departure of Jake Fromm. Graduate transfer Jamie Newman from Wake Forest seems to be the frontrunner, but USC transfer JT Daniels should also figure into the mix, as will redshirt junior Stetson Bennett.
