Pittsburgh @ Seattle
Team Totals: Seahawks 22.5, Steelers 19
An obvious fan and teammate favorite — Heinz Field audibly cheered his name throughout last week’s second half — Mason Rudolph will make another start after notching Week 16’s QB13 fantasy result against the Bengals. Always decently athletic with a solid deep ball, Rudolph now draws a middling Seahawks pass defense allowing the league’s 12th-most fantasy quarterback points but getting back difference-maker CB Devon Witherspoon (hip) from a two-week absence while ranking No. 6 in the league in sacks (45). I’m confidently teeing up Seattle’s D/ST and fading Rudolph. … Especially with Najee Harris (knee) battling injury, Jaylen Warren looks like Pittsburgh’s clear-cut backfield play against a Seahawks defense yielding the NFL’s sixth-most fantasy running back points. Warren has banked double-digit touches in eight consecutive games and caught at least four balls in three straight. 33-year-old Seahawks ILB Bobby Wagner has devolved into a late-career liability, while fellow ILB Jordyn Brooks (ankle) appears unlikely to play. Rudolph has targeted Warren a team-high seven times this season.
Bengals CB Chidobe Awuzie simply could not run with George Pickens in last week’s Steelers win, and Pickens went off for 4/195/2 receiving.
