Steelers Beat: History says QB Kenny Pickett will eventually start

Jul 26, 2022

It is all going to be a matter of when the Steelers feel comfortable turning things over to Kenny Pickett.

It’s going to happen. It’s just when, regardless of how Mitch Trubisky plays.

Fantasy Impact:

The story went on to say the decision will be based on Pickett's readiness. The story also took a look at the history of QBs taken in the first round and the results are certainly on Pickett's side for him to eventually be the starter in 2022. Keep in mind, this was just an opinion piece, the Steelers and the team haven't said any such thing, nor have they laid out their plan. Trubisky took a majority of the first team reps in OTAs, while Pickett took mostly third team reps, it was pointed out.

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

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.
