Kenny Pickett Fantasy

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that quarterback Kenny Pickett (ankle) is experiencing "ankle discomfort" that will limit him in the early portions of practice this week. The injury doesn't seem serious enough to cause him to miss the Week 13 game against the Arizona Cardinals, but it's something that bears watching for sure during the week. In the first game since offensive coordinator Matt Canada's firing in the Week 12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, Pickett showed improvement and went 24-for-33 for 278 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. Hopefully, the 25-year-old signal-caller will be able to build on that this Sunday in a solid matchup against the visiting Cardinals. However, his ankle injury could limit his mobility outside the pocket.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett completed 24 of his 33 pass attempts for 278 scoreless yards in a 16-10 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. He added five rushing yards on five carries. In Pittsburgh's first game since firing offensive coordinator Matt Canada, Pickett posted a season-high in passing yardage as the Steelers totaled 421 yards of offense. The 25-year-old completed some impressive throws downfield and nearly connected with Diontae Johnson for a touchdown in the first quarter. While he can't yet be trusted for fantasy purposes, Pickett showing signs of life is great news for the fantasy value of his pass-catchers. He'll look to carry this momentum into a Week 13 home matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett struggled mightily against the Cleveland Browns last week but will hope to find success in another divisional showdown against the Cincinnati Bengals. This is a solid matchup for Pickett with the Bengals surrendering the 12th-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. Additionally, Sunday's contest could mark the beginning of a fresh start for Pickett as the team parted ways with offensive coordinator Matt Canada earlier this week. Pittsburgh's offense averaged just 17.9 points per game since Canada took over play-calling duties in 2021. It's unknown at this point what changes will be made to the Steelers' offense, but hopefully, Pickett can show signs of improvement under a revamped coaching staff. Although his performance will be worth monitoring in superflex leagues, fantasy managers should look elsewhere for a starter this week.
