Devin Bush Fantasy

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Devin Bush was the latest Steelers player to land on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. Bush is the team's starting inside linebacker, so the Steelers atrocious run defense could be even more compromised in Week 16 against the powerful Kansas City Chiefs offense. The 10th overall pick of the 2019 draft had one of his better games of the year in the Week 15 win over the Tennessee Titans, recording five tackles (three solo) and a pass defensed. The Steelers could also be missing inside linebacker Marcus Allen, who is also on the COVID-19 list. Fantasy managers should be looking to fade the Steelers defense/special teams this weekend, even if Chiefs playmakers Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce miss the game due to COVID.

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Devin Bush (groin) and cornerback Joe Haden (groin) are inactive for Week 2 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Defensive tackle Carlos Davis (knee) has also been ruled out. With Bush out, Robert Spillane will start at linebacker, and James Pierre is expected to replace Haden at cornerback. It's a notable development on the defensive side of the ball for Pittsburgh, especially after the Raiders offense looked very capable against a strong defense in the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1. The Steelers defense/special teams still remains in play as a starting defensive unit for fantasy managers this weekend, but keep in mind that they are down two starters.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that linebacker Devin Bush (knee) will undergo surgery to fix his torn ACL on Wednesday. Bush will miss the remainder of the 2020 season. It's a big blow to the Steelers Defense, as the No. 10 overall pick from 2019 had been a big contributor in the middle of the field. The 22-year-old had 26 tackles (16 solo), two QB hits, three passes defensed and one sack in five games this season after recording 109 combined tackles, two interceptions, four passes defensed and four fumble recoveries in a very productive rookie season in 2019. The loss of Bush will be something to watch moving forward, as Pittsburgh's defense has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to running backs this year. It's good news for Titans running back Derrick Henry in the Week 7 showdown of two unbeaten teams.
