Your Monday Night NFL Football Open Thread

Newsy Notes:

-Darnell Mooney is done for the year with a significant ankle injury just as he was getting going. Poor guy. My poor fantasy team gets even poorer.

-Watson is all set to play for the Browns and there’s been another victim found. Qb Joshua Dobbs has been cut from the roster to make room. (that may have been a bit dark, sorry)

-OBJ was escorted from a plane, apparently he was falling in and out of consciousness. Story is just weird.

-Lost The Room?: Russell Wilson was berated on the sideline by a defensive player. Now he can add the players to fans and management that are not happy with him.

To The Game!

Steelers/Colts:

-With Ryan back behind center perhaps Alec Pierce will regain fantasy relevance-he disappeared for a bit there but will be matched against the struggling Ahkello Witherspoon who also has a bad hammy.

-The Colts have lost 7 straight to the Steelers but Pitt has lost three of their last four.

-Wherefore Diontae Johnson?: Boy does he miss Big Ben’s pitiful excuse for an arm. He hasn’t scored a TD since last January.

-The Colts will wear a throwback uni tonight-the jerseys will have 3 stripes instead of 2 and the numbers will have a slightly different font!

-Back From The Dead: With Jaylen Warren hot on his tail, Najee has run for 189 yards in the last two games. This is vitally important because he needs to be effective on early downs so that Pickett has manageable third downs to work with. That hadn’t been the case recently. Expect the rook to improve if Najee does.

Type away.
