[PIT - Kenny Pickett the QB2](=) Source: Steelers.com - Burt Lauten Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett is ahead of QB Mason Rudolph for the backup quarterback spot on the official depth chart entering Week 1. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Pickett had a strong performance in the preseason, and he's clearly the quarterback of the future. We think the sooner the Steelers turn things over to the 2021 first-round pick, the better the results will be in 2022. Mitchell Trubisky won the starting job, but he's a placeholder for the rookie. If/when he struggles, the Steelers should be turning things over to Pickett. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [PIT - QB Mitchell Trubisky named starter](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Pittsburgh Steelers QB Mitchell Trubisky was named the starting quarterback for Week 1. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Steelers are going with the seasoned veteran to begin the regular season. As soon as they struggle with Trubisky under center, we expect the Steelers to turn things over to rookie first-round pick Kenny Pickett. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [LAR - TE Tyler Higbee revises deal]( Source: ESPN.com - Field Yates Los Angeles Rams TE Tyler Higbee restructured his contract Tuesday, Sept. 6, to convert $4.75 million into a signing bonus, while adding three void years, to create $3.8 million in salary cap space. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It's a win/win for both sides. Higbee gets more money now, and the Rams get cap space this year and spread out the money in the TE's deal. The Rams made two big moves on their way to the Super Bowl last year (Von Miller, Odell Beckham Jr). This year, allowing more flexibility in the cap gives them the opportunity to be on the lookout for moves that could help them as they defend their Super Bowl title. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [BUF - WR Isaiah McKenzie expected to go]() Source: The Athletic - Joe Buscaglia Buffalo Bills WR Isaiah McKenzie (groin) is expected to play in Week 1, according to head coach Sean McDermott. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] McKenzie has done a good job going from a bust in Denver, to a gadget player initially with the Bills, to a slot option with the Bills offense. He seems to be ahead of Jamison Crowder in the pecking order for the slot position. If he gets a majority of the slot snaps for the Bills, McKenzie has some 'what the heck' flex appeal for Fantasy GMs. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [NE - RB Ty Montgomery could play in opener](=) Source: NESN.com - Zack Cox New England Patriots RB Ty Montgomery (ankle) has 'a shot' to play in Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins, according to head coach Bill Belichick. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Fantasy GMs are not looking to Montgomery for much of anything. With no James White (retired), the Patriots could use a pass-catching back like Montgomery to do more. As of now, the plan is to use more of Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson on passing downs.

[LAR - WR Jefferson Misses Practice Again]() Source: Sarah Barshop - ESPN.com Sarah Barshop, from ESPN.com, reports Los Angeles Rams WR Van Jefferson did not practice on Tuesday, September 6th. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] That's two days in a row that Jefferson has missed. With the Rams playing on Thursday night to open the regular season it's looking like Jefferson will miss Week 1. Earlier reports have indicated the team may be targeting a Week 2 or Week 3 return for the veteran receiver. Ben Skowronek or Tutu Atwell could see an uptick in snaps if Jefferson misses the game. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [NYG - WR Shepard Plans on Playing Week 1]() Source: Jordan Raanan - ESPN.com Jordan Raanan, from ESPN.com, reports that New York Giants WR Sterling Shepard (Achilles) fully plans on playing against the Titans in Week 1. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Shepard tore his Achilles in December and has been recovering ever since. The team brought him off the PUP list back on August 24th. Don't start him just yet, and let's see what Shepard looks like before considering him as a flex option in 2022. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [BUF - Tuesday's practice report for Buffalo](=) Source: Buffalo Bills PR Buffalo Bills OL Tommy Doyle (foot) and TE Quintin Morris (hamstring) did not practice Tuesday, Sept. 6. WR Stefon Diggs (rest) was limited. WR Isaiah McKenzie (groin), S Jordan Poyer (elbow) and DT Tim Settle (calf) practiced in full [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] As reported earlier, it looks like McKenzie is on track for the season opener on Thursday night against the Rams. He seems to have the lead on Jamison Crowder when it comes to snaps at the slot position. At full strength, and if he is indeed the top slot option for the Bills, McKenzie has 'what the heck' flex appeal for Fantasy GMs in 2022. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [IND - Philip Lindsay rejoins Indy on practice squad](=) Source: Indianapolis Star - Nate Atkins Free-agent RB Phillip Lindsay (Colts) was added to the practice squad of the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday, Sept. 6. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Lindsay was signed earlier this year, but he failed to make the 53-man roster. Now, he gets a chance to stick in the league on the practice squad. If injuries hit above him on the depth chart, Lindsay could be called up.
