Knee injury for JuJu Smith-Schuster not serious, but not expected to play Sunday

Nov 20, 2019

The knee injury for JuJu Smith-Schuster is not considered to be serious for the long term, but he is not expected to play Sunday against the Bengals.

Fantasy Impact:

Fowler notes there is too much to overcome between his knee injury and being in the concussion protocol. With Diontae Johnson also a question mark for Sunday, James Washington and Johnny Holton will see the most opportunities from Mason Rudolph. It’s not the end of the world, but certainly the dropoff will be noticeable in the offense. Steelers will be limping into Cincinnati looking to get back to a winning record.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

The Eagles list QB Jalen Hurts as DNP on their estimated practice report because of a concussion, putting his status for this weekend in doubt.

Things aren't trending well for Hurts, as fantasy managers should be looking for a Championship Week back-up as soon as possible.

Steelers WR George Pickens officially Active for Christmas Day

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
