The post went on to quote Tomlin as saying, "The more comfortable and functional is, the more work he'll get." It seems like Pickett has a chance to suit up in Week 5, however there is still a long way to go and it seems far from a sure thing.

The Steelers, however, are leaving the door open for Pickett to play this week, per NFL Media, but the fact that they have an off week in Week 6 could play a factor in their decision. If Pickett can't go this week, Trubisky would likely be the Week 5 starter.

The Steelers will get more time to see what Pickett can do this season, but has already suffered two concussions this year, the other coming back in October. Pickett had been solid before his second concussion, and hasn't thrown and INT since Week 8 but only has two passing TDs over his last four, full games. He's also added a rushing TD in that span. At the very least, Pickett has turned into a game manager for the Steelers and fantasy owners.

This sets up for another Mitch Trubisky start, but it's not one that moves the needle for fantasy.
