Bengals go back to Ryan Finley at quarterback for Monday Night Football

Dec 19, 2020

The Bengals are starting QB Ryan Finley at quarterback for Week 15 on Monday night against the Steelers.

Fantasy Impact:

The Bengals have already had a mini-carousel at the position since Joe Burrow suffered a torn ACL. Finley initially got the position, only to falter and have the Bengals switch to Brandon Allen. Allen was banged up in Week 13 before playing again in Week 14, but has missed practice all week and was ruled out for Week 15, giving the job back to Finley. The Steelers D/ST will likely be a very popular DFS pick. Cincinnati will be fortunate to do anything on offense.

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.

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.
