Kenny Pickett has to "check a box procedurally" but if there was practice he would be a full participant. Says Pickett will start on Saturday.

The Steelers will get more time to see what Pickett can do this season, but has already suffered two concussions this year, the other coming back in October. Pickett had been solid before his second concussion, and hasn't thrown and INT since Week 8 but only has two passing TDs over his last four, full games. He's also added a rushing TD in that span. At the very least, Pickett has turned into a game manager for the Steelers and fantasy owners.

The Steelers announced QB Mitch Trubisky will start in Week 15 against the Panthers.

This was the expected outcome after Kenny Pickett was listed as doubtful with a concussion. Trubisky and Mason Rudolph both took first-team reps in practice this week, but Trubisky seemed like the favorite to get the nod. Trubisky is our No. 30 quarterback on the board this week, not someone you'd want to rely on in the playoffs.

Steelers are listing QB Kenny Pickett as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers, and the team plans to announce its starting QB Saturday.

This sets up for another Mitch Trubisky start, but it's not one that moves the needle for fantasy. After Week 14's performance, Trubisky now has more interceptions (five) than touchdowns (four) and his legs aren't something to count on anymore either, as he has accrued 29 yards on his 13 attempts in 2022.

The Dolphins and Bills are set to face off for the second time this season Saturday night, when several outlets are projecting heavy snow to fall on Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. It would mark Tua Tagovailoa's first time playing in the snow in his NFL career, but he said apart from spending time in the cold tub last week while the team practiced in Los Angeles, he hasn't put much thought into Saturday's playing conditions.

While a game in heavy snow will be fun to watch, those with fantasy stock in the game and owning Bills and Dolphins players may want to think about their lineups. It's always tough to remove players like Tua and Allen from your lineups in the playoffs, but ugly weather can sometimes mean a hit to the passing game, even though slippery conditions does favor the offense. It will be something to keep an eye on heading into the weekend. The game is scheduled to be played Saturday night.

Mike Tomlin said if QB Kenny Pickett (concussion protocol) is "able to work, we'll work him. If not, we'll get Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph ready." He said when dealing with concussion protocol, you take it day-to-day.

Don't expect the Steelers to rush back Pickett to the field as he's dealing with his second concussion this season. Trubisky would likely draw the start if Pickett can't go. The Steelers are at the Panthers in Week 15.

Steelers QB Kenny Pickett is in the concussion protocol and is out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Mitch Trubisky is back under center for the Steelers. Pickett was trying to escape a sack, then took a hard hit and eventually did take a sack. Now it's Trubisky against the Ravens after Pickett threw just one pass today.

Jets coach Robert Saleh tells reporters that RB Michael Carter (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday.

Zonovan Knight (2022 UDFA) came out of nowhere last week to parlay his first career snaps into over 100 yards from scrimmage, but it will be interesting to see how the team incorporates the backfield with a full week of planning. Ty Johnson will likely rotate into third downs and James Robinson may finally find some utilization after spending his time since the trade on the bench. Knight would be an iffy RB3 if Carter eventually does miss the game.

No sign of Jets running back Michael Carter (ankle) on the practice field today.

It may be a little presumptive to give James Robinson the "squeaky wheel" narrative when he hasn't been on the field, but he has been very vocal about his unhappiness over being a healthy scratch even though the team traded for him. If the team decides to give in to his demands to see some playing time, this backfield will be an abject disaster of a three-headed monster in Week 13 if Michael Carter is forced to miss the game.
