Fantasy Impact:

Dupree went down with a non-contact injury while rushing the quarterback in Wednesday's game against the Ravens. It was speculated that the star pass-rusher injured his ACL and tests have confirmed that. He had already racked up eight sacks through 11 games and been an integral part of Pittsburgh's pass rush. The Steelers are currently 11-0 this season, largely in part to their great defensive play. Without Dupree on the line offenses will be able to key in on T.J. Watt a bit more, lowering his value in IDP leagues. Alex Highsmith is next up to see more snaps in Dupree's absence.
