Kenny Pickett to miss 'a couple of weeks' with ankle injury

Dec 03, 2023

Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's loss to the Cardinals and may miss a couple of weeks.

Fantasy Impact:

Mitch Trubisky will take over as the quarterback in the meantime. The Steelers have a short week coming up as they host the Patriots on Thursday. Pickett may also miss Week 15 against the Colts. Pickett left the game early, throwing just 10 passes and completing seven of them for 70 yards. Trubisky went 11/17 for 117 yards and a touchdown in the 24-10 loss. Pittsburgh is now in a four-way tie at 7-5 with the Browns, Colts and Texans atop the wild card race.

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.
