Steelers will rest key skill players in Week 17
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed on Wednesday that running back Le'Veon Bell, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, and wide receiver Antonio Brown (rest) will not play in Sunday's Week 17 finale against the Cleveland Browns.
What It Means:
The playoff picture in the AFC is pretty much set so the Steelers won't risk injury to their key players. It's unknown whether DeAngelo Williams will play or not, but it could be Fitzgerald Toussaint leading the Pittsburgh backfield on Sunday if Williams sits too.
Our models project Toussaint for 30 yards on seven carries and 0.26 touchdowns in Week 17 against the Browns.
