Pickett has a decent matchup in Week 9 against the Titans, but still not good enough to put him on fantasy radars. It's been a rough 2023 season for the sophomore, who has topped 15 fantasy points only twice.

Pickett said he did light throwing today during a walk-through style practice. He was listed as limited on Monday, according to reports. As we've said before, we can't always trust a player when he says he's going to play. It's very possible the Steelers have a different plan, but for now things look at least optimistic for Pickett to be on the field for Week 9's TNF game.

The Steelers may have their starting quarterback for Thursday’s game against the Titans.

It's a Thursday game for the Steelers this week against the Titans, which seems to be the bigger issue for Pickett as far as his status goes. Tomlin said Pickett will likely be a game-time call based on the information he had. The good news is there is no structural damage to his ribs. Tomlin added they will evaluate his ability to throw, his level of comfort and his ability of effectiveness, and "let that be our guide in terms of determining his availability.” If he can't go, Trubisky would get the start.

Rookie TE Darnelll Washington is a gigantic red zone option and could see some extra run while Freiermuth is out but it's not recommended to start him in anything but the deepest of leagues this week.

The Steelers will use practice as a guide to scale how much time Pickett will miss; it could be none, or it sounds like it could be up to three weeks. In deep Superflex leagues with deep benches, stashing Mitch Trubisky wouldn't be the worst idea.

The post went on to quote Tomlin as saying, "The more comfortable and functional is, the more work he'll get." It seems like Pickett has a chance to suit up in Week 5, however there is still a long way to go and it seems far from a sure thing. The Steelers have a bye in Week 6 but sit at 2-2 heading into a game with a division rival in Week 5.
