Likely playing before he was ready, Pickett had a rocky rookie season for the Steelers. Making his first start in Week 4 for an ineffective Mitchell Trubisky, Pickett struggled, throwing eight interceptions and only two touchdowns in his first five NFL games, going 1-4 in the process. Pickett and the offense became more conservative and the rookie only tossed one more interception over the final seven games he played.
Being shaky with the ball is expected from most rookie quarterbacks, and Kenny took a South Parkesque beating behind a terrible line, suffering multiple concussions. As long as those don't become habitual, things are shaping up well for Pickett and this Steeler offense to make some fantasy noise. Pittsburgh added tackle Broderick Jones in Round 1, and stole guard Isacc Seumalo from their cross-state rivals. With a sneaky running floor (237 yards and three touchdowns in just 12 games), an improved run game, and dynamic talent at wide receiver, Pickett could be worth a late-round pick on a fantasy team looking for an end of the draft value at QB.
