Burks vs Pickens

[Weber27]

Who has the better fantasy career? PPR format.

[Gator Sens]

I prefer Pickens overall as a prospect but Burks has looked better the past couple of weeks. I would still take Pickens but both play in bad passing offenses.

What’s the difference between them in picks?

Ok, then I’m not crazy.
I was offer Pickens & Skyy for my Burks & Rachaad White. I obviously declined that but I said I’d consider Burks for Pickens. And he said not straight up.
I countered with swapping my 3rd for his 4th. He countered with me giving a 2nd him giving nothing. I said, id consider giving him 3rd to make the deal happen (I don’t mind losing a little on a trade sometimes to build my future dealings with them) he said no, the only way he moves Pickens is for a 2nd on top. Obviously, I’m not doing that lol. But, funny how someone values a player.

Burks had everyone nervous with all the issues this offseason and then missing time with the injury. I think that still weighs on the back of everyone’s mind. I personally prefer him to Pickens, but I agree with Gator that the value is close enough that neither side should add anything significant and it’s just a matter of personal preference.

Burks has the better now, but my vote is for Pickens long term. But it's really a toss-up for me.

I also can't imagine that either side would add much to make a trade happen.

I like Pickens over Burks. Dude is just mean as hell. Only worry is he seems to be weird as hell as well. Lizard people are real type of strange.

[murphysxm]

I think I may lean Burks at this point based on his physical advantages. Either are a great piece and agree that I am not adding anything in either direction

I had Burks over Pickens as a prospect but both were very fun to watch. I still like Burks more as not much has changed post draft. It's likely going to come down to if Pickett can take the next step or if TEN gets a better QB soon, as to which WR becomes the better fantasy option.

Speaking of situation, Diontae isn't a bad WR and is signed for a few years. That's not going to help Pickens if they stay an average passing attack. Burks is already the clear cut #1. I also think Pickens is an alpha type WR though.

Overall, I think both are very talented and wouldn't add to get the other. But if we're splitting hairs, it's Burks for me still

[FantasyFreak]

Pickens.

Burks and it shouldn't be close

Pickens shooting up in value after a fairly bad, inefficient rookie year is hilarious though

He didn't play basically all of last year, and put up solid numbers with absolutely horrible QB play, as a 21 year old. Nothing hilarious about it, he's a good football player.

Not sure what's fairly bad about 52 grabs and over 800 yards after a year off with those bums at QB. Diontae had zero TD's grabs all year, but yeah, Pickens inefficiency must have been his fault. Not the QB's or his role in the offense, contributing to that or anything.

The idea it shouldn't be close is hilarious to me. What exactly has Burks shown that's so fantastic vs Pickens, who is a full year younger?
