Impact Pickens failed to post more than two stops in any game through Week 13, but the second-year player has recorded at least four tackles in each of the last three games. With three games being a trend, Pickens should be considered an IDP streamer as an interior defensive lineman.

Impact Pickens has missed four of Chicago's first five games of the season as he's dealt with a groin injury, and he'll now have to wait until after the team's bye in Week 7 to return to action. Until then, Chris Williams should continue to rotate in more frequently on the interior of the defensive line.

Doesn't practice Wednesday Head coach Matt Eberflus told reporters that Pickens (groin) won't practice Wednesday, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports.
Impact Pickens sustained a groin injury during the Bears' Week 2 loss, so it's no surprise that the 24-year-old will be held out of Wednesday's practice. His participation in practice both Thursday and Friday will provide a greater indication of his Week 3 availability.
