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.

LAR WR Van Jefferson - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Seattle Seahawks

Van Jefferson looks like he'll be the WR1 in Cooper Kupp's absence. He wasn't on the field much to start 2022. Over the last ten weeks of the season, he averaged 4.4 targets, and 2.4 receptions for 36.9 yards. It was a tough go, even though he barely overlapped with Kupp last season. It remains to be seen if he can earn targets at a high-enough rate to be fantasy relevant.

We currently have him ranked as WR39 in our projections. He's a desperation WR3 or Flex option if you're really in a bind, but you likely have better options on your roster.
