Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Kenny Pickett (ankle) to undergo surgery Monday
Steelers QB Kenny Pickett will undergo surgery Monday on his injured ankle, but the team is not expected to place him on IR.
Fantasy Impact
Pickett has been dealing with an injured ankle and he re-aggravated the injury on Sunday. The team is hopeful that he will be able to return in Week 18 against Baltimore, but that will depend on how he heals and is able to rehab from the surgery. Mitch Trubisky will likely start for the team while Pickett is out, with Mason Rudolph elevated to the backup role.

Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) could miss multiple games
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson will undergo an MRI on his injured ankle and could miss multiple weeks.
Fantasy Impact
The belief is that the MRI will show a sprain that could cause Stevenson to miss multiple weeks. This would be a big blow for a Patriots’ offense looking for ways to score and are struggling to find anyone to make plays consistently. With the Patriots playing on Thursday, fantasy managers should expect Ezekiel Elliott to take over as the lead back against the Steelers should Stevenson be forced to miss Week 14.
