All signs point to Mitch Trubisky as Steelers Week 1 QB

Sep 05, 2022

The former first-round pick was named as one of Pittsburgh’s five co-captains for the 2022 season Monday, along with second-year running back Najee Harris, linebacker T.J. Watt, defensive tackle Cam Heyward and safety Miles Killebrew.

Related Players: Kenny Pickett

Fantasy Impact:

The 28-year-old has been competing for the starting job this offseason alongside 2022 first-round pick Kenny Pickett and last year’s backup quarterback Mason Rudolph. The Steelers are in win-now mode with or without Ben Roethlisberger, so regardless of Pickett's progression the team is going to start whoever gives them the best chance to compete.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
