Pittsburgh Steelers DFS Spin
Kenny Pickett (ankle) is questionable for Week 17 against the Seahawks. Pickett was limited in practice throughout the week before drawing the questionable tag. If he is active, it will only be as a backup. Mike Tomlin has already announced that Mason Rudolph will start in Week 17. Pickett could return to the starting lineup for Week 18 if Rudolph struggles on Sunday.
Seattle Seahawks DFS Spin
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Kenneth Walker (shoulder) is expected to play in Week 17 against the Steelers. Walker was also listed with an illness on the injury report, though that was never a threat to hold him out. Per Schefter, the Seahawks have “some concerns about a shoulder injury that was aggravated last Sunday at Tennessee.” The team may keep his workload in check in Week 17. Though, with their postseason hopes hanging in the balance, they may be forced to keep leaning on him between the tackles. Barring any setbacks in pre-game warmups, Walker will rank as an RB2 to close the fantasy season.
