JuJu Smith-Schuster practices in full Friday, not listed on final injury report

Dec 20, 2019

Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster was a full practice participant Friday and was not listed on the team's final injury report.

Fantasy Impact:

JuJu not having a game designation is a great sign that he will return to the Steelers' lineup and just in time for those who hung onto him. When asked about what has to happen for him to play, he said: "Don’t go out. Don’t go out and party, don’t go out dancing. Just stay home and make sure my knee is good." JuJu can certainly help the ailing Devlin Hodges, after his rough outing in Week 15 against the Bills. Fortunately for the Steelers, they get the Jets in Week 16. Smith-Schuster should have some flex appeal this week and is also a worthy option in daily leagues as well.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker officially Out for Week 17

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.

Related Players: Kenny Pickett

Fantasy Impact:

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.
