Practice will be the guide for Steelers QB Kenny Pickett.

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.

It is not serious but could lead to a short-term absence, the story said. The Steelers, however, are leaving the door open for Pickett to play this week, per NFL Media, but the fact that they have an off week in Week 6 could play a factor in their decision. If Pickett can't go this week, Trubisky would likely be the Week 5 starter.

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.

This sets up for another Mitch Trubisky start, but it's not one that moves the needle for fantasy.
