George Pickens practises in full Friday after a limited practice Thursday (hamstring)

George Pickens practised in full Friday after limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday with a hamstring injury. The Dallas receiver is listed questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Pickens is on track to return after missing last week's game against the Colts. A full practice Friday is an encouraging sign, but questionable status means fantasy managers must check the inactive list about 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff to confirm his availability. The 49ers have allowed 22.1 half-PPR points a game to receivers, the 5th fewest of 32.

Player by player

George Pickens

Pickens has averaged 9.9 half-PPR points over his last three games on 68% of snaps and a 19% target share, with 7.0 targets a game. In Week 8 against Arizona he posted 2 catches for 48 yards on 4 targets and 57% of snaps for 5.8 half-PPR points. CeeDee Lamb saw 11 targets to Pickens's 4 in that contest, whilst Ryan Flournoy drew 4 targets on 68% of snaps.

Our models rank Pickens 15th of 197 receivers with a Roundup Score of 75 out of 99, projecting 10.1 half-PPR points a game. His role security subscore ranks just 37th at the position. Even if active Sunday, his workload alongside Lamb is not secure. Hold Pickens but verify his status before kickoff, and temper expectations against a stingy San Francisco defence.

What to do

• Check the inactive list about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff to confirm George Pickens is active.

• If Pickens plays, start him as a WR2 or WR3 with caution given his questionable tag and the 49ers' strong defence against receivers.

• If Pickens is ruled out, Ryan Flournoy would see increased opportunity alongside CeeDee Lamb in three-receiver sets.
