Quick answer
WatchPickett threw for 188 yards and 1 TD in 2025, finishing QB60. He scored about 44% less than his touches said he should. Recent form cooled from QB50 to QB60 — watch whether that's noise or a real step down. Only 6 games in 2025 — availability is the headline. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
