Kenny Pickett gets ankle surgery, will be OUT for several weeks.

Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback, Kenny Pickett, has faced a challenging start to his NFL career, grappling with subpar performances and the recent firing of play-caller Matt Canada. Compounding the situation, Pickett suffered an ankle injury requiring surgery, sidelining him for several weeks. Amidst speculation about a possible benching due to his underwhelming stats—just 6 touchdowns this season and an average of under 185 passing yards per game—Mitchell Trubisky steps in as the potential savior.

 

Trubisky, a seasoned NFL veteran, showcased his capabilities by throwing a touchdown in relief for Pickett. However, facing a formidable Bill Belichick defense in his first start of the year during a short week raises doubts about the effectiveness of the Steelers’ offense. Caution is advised, as trusting any element of this Trubisky-led Pittsburgh offense in fantasy lineups appears risky, given the team’s lackluster performance throughout the season.
