Chase Claypool A Shaky Flex In Week 17
4 years agoPittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool will be without his quarterback in Week 17 as the team will rest veteran Ben Roethlisberger against the Cleveland Browns. Instead, Claypool will catch passes from quarterback Mason Rudolph. Pittsburgh having Rudolph under center downgrades the entire passing attack in a game that does not hold much meaning for the Steelers, who already have the AFC North title wrapped up and can't overtake the Kansas City Chiefs for the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Treat Claypool as a low-end flex option against a Cleveland defense that is fighting for a playoff spot and will be plenty motivated in Week 17.
