The Facts: Mason Rudolph is unlikely to play Week 17 while dealing with a shoulder injury. Devlin Hodges is excited to start under center.

Diehards Line:Hodges has been downright bad at throwing the football this season. He's averaging 5.2 AY/A and has eight interceptions to three scores. Pittsburgh's playoff hopes now appear in the hands of John Harbough. Baltimore has nothing to play for as they already have the first seed locked up. If they rest their starters, Hodges may stand a chance versus Baltimore. At that point, Juju Smith-Schuster, Diontae Johnson, and James Washington would be viable Week 17 options.
