Pittsburgh Steelers DFS Spin
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Kenny Pickett will start in Week 7 if he clears the league’s concussion protocol. Pickett will be a full participant in practice this week, per Tomlin. It’s just a matter of clearing the concussion protocol before Pittsburgh’s Monday night game against Miami. Before exiting Week 6 with a head injury, Pickett completed 11-of-18 passes for 67 yards and a touchdown, rushing twice for 16 yards. Pickett would have great streaming appeal against the Dolphins in what could be a shootout between two beatable defenses. Mitch Trubisky, who played well in Week 6, would draw the start if Pickett can’t clear the protocol.
Miami Dolphins DFS Spin
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said he expects Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) to start in Week 7 against the Steelers. Tagovailoa cleared concussion protocol on Saturday, and will now have another full week to recover ahead of the team’s Week 7 matchup against the Steelers. Tagovailoa last suited up in Week 4 against the Bengals and has thrown for 1,035-8-3 on the season. He’ll be a low-end QB1 against a Steelers defense that’s allowing the third-most passing yards per game (277.8).

Steelers vs. Dolphins Prediction:
The Dolphins are winless against the spread in their last seven games played in October (with one push), are 2-6-1 against the number in their last nine games coming off a loss and are just 2-5-1 at the betting window in their last eight games following an ATS loss. On the other side, the Steelers are 6-2 against the spread in their last eight games played in Week 7 and have covered in 14 of their last 19 games played in the month of October. I don’t trust either of these teams at the moment, but Mike Tomlin’s teams often play well in the underdog role.
