3 years agoPittsburgh Steelers star linebacker T.J. Watt (groin) has officially been ruled out for the rest of the Thursday night game against the Minnesota Vikings after suffering a groin injury in the first half. This game has turned into a blowout with the Vikings up 23-0 early in the second half, so the Steelers probably decided that it wasn't worth bringing their best defender back in a game that has pretty much already been decided. Watt, the leader in the NFL with 16 sacks despite missing two games, would be a huge loss for a defense that looks completely gassed on a short week. The Steelers have also been without cornerback Joe Haden for the last two weeks. Given all the injuries, the Steelers defense has become one to avoid in fantasy.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
