The schedule lightens up as the season goes on, but Pickett should remain on benches until the offense proves it can be better.

Even if Pickett starts, he can't be plugged into fantasy lineups until the Steelers woeful offense begins to progress.

The Commanders skill guys – Jahan Dotson (ankle) and Curtis Samuel (quad) – are healthy and playing tonight, while Bears WR Chase Claypool (other) is out once again.

Both Washington wide receivers had good Week 4 games as the team surprisingly pushed the Eagles into overtime. Each option had eight targets and scored double-digit half-PPR points. Both WR can be considered FLEX options ahead of a cushy Week 5 opponent.

Practice will be the guide for Steelers QB Kenny Pickett.

The Steelers will use practice as a guide to scale how much time Pickett will miss; it could be none, or it sounds like it could be up to three weeks. In deep Superflex leagues with deep benches, stashing Mitch Trubisky wouldn't be the worst idea.

Tomlin on Kenny Pickett. He has a bone bruise and is scheduled to participate tomorrow and the Steelers will evaluate him from there.

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 have a bye in Week 6 but sit at 2-2 heading into a game with a division rival in Week 5.

It is not serious but could lead to a short-term absence, the story said. 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.

Steelers QB Kenny Pickett has a knee injury, but the belief is the injury is not season-ending.

Rapoport said Pickett will get an MRI, and they are looking at the MCL and meniscus. His ACL is reportedly in tact. Rapoport added there just isn't a lot of information now but Pickett is going to miss some time with the injury but should return this season. Trubisky will get the start in Week 5, which is an early game at home vs. the Ravens. The Steelers do have a bye in Week 6 before traveling to the the Rams in Week 7.

Cooper is still a game time decision, but was in pain this morning. If Cooper can't go, Moore and Peoples-Jones would likely suck up a bunch of the targets from the WR spot. The rookie Tillman could also get more involved, as could TE Njoku.

Browns WR Amari Cooper is questionable for Monday night against the Steelers with a groin injury.

Cooper aggravated his injury during Saturday’s practice . Head coach Kevin Stefanski said “We’ll see how he does over the next 48 hours.” Monitor this situation closely. This certainly has a degree of difficulty with the Browns playing on Monday. If you can get Elijah Moore, he would certainly be a nice backup option. Otherwise, you could play it safe and get someone who is healthy into your WR or Flex spots Sunday and avoid the hassle altogether. This is certainly an interesting situation.

The Commanders removed WR Terry McLaurin from the injury report. He's good to go Sunday vs. the Cardinals.

Fantastic news, as this matchup is amazing for fantasy purposes. With a full practice on Friday, there should be no reason to keep McLaurin out of Week 1 fantasy lineups. His season-long outlook as a WR2 remains intact.
