Pittsburgh Steelers Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN's Adam Schefter report that Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (back) is expected to play vs. the Ravens today. He was added to the injury report and did not practice on Thursday but returned to a limited practice on Friday. Pittsburgh elevated RB Jonathan Ward from the practice squad on Saturday, but that's "considered a precaution," Rapoport adds. It sounds like Warren just needs to pass pre-game tests to play today. The back injury adds risk to what was already a tough rushing matchup. But Warren could be busier than usual in the passing game. The Ravens have allowed the sixth most catches to RBs this season.

Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (back) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Ravens. He was added to the injury report and did not practice on Thursday but returned to a limited practice on Friday. We’ll look for more information on Warren and get Pittsburgh’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. RB Najee Harris (ankle) is not listed on the final injury report after putting in full practices on Thursday and Friday.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’s ready for a full workload vs. the 49ers on Sunday. Metcalf checks in 14th in the Week 11 WR Rankings.

Steelers RB Jaylen Warren was added to the injury report with a back and did not practice on Thursday. We don't have any other details on his status right now, but his availability for this weekend's game vs. the Ravens is now in question. Check back tomorrow for another update on Warren.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He's on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the 49ers. Metcalf was leading Seattle with 61 targets on a 24.3% target share through the first seven games of the season. He ranked fifth among WRs in expected PPR points per game over that stretch; 17th in actual points per game. Metcalf lands in high-end WR2 territory in our Week 11 PPR Rankings.

Steelers WR George Pickens caught five of seven targets for 91 yards and an early TD in the Steelers win. Fellow WR Mike Williams, who just joined the Steelers, also caught a 32-yard TD on his lone catch.

Steelers RB Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report. He’ll play vs. the Commanders on Sunday for the first time since Week 4. Patterson averaged 4.0 carries and 1.8 targets over the first four games of the season. He’s not a fantasy option but could put a slight dent in RBs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren’s volume.

Titans QB Mason Rudolph is expected to start Sunday's game vs. the Patriots, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "Will Levis had a good week of practice, but his shoulder is not quite ready," Rapoport adds. Rudolph shouldn't be in Week 9 fantasy lineups but at least helped WR Calvin Ridley to a big Week 8. Consider Rudolph a slight upgrade for Ridley's Week 9 fantasy stock.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. There was optimism early in the week that Metcalf would be back for this one, but he seemingly didn’t progress as hoped over the past few days. He gets a Week 10 bye to heal up. Metcalf will again be replaced by WR Jake Bobo this weekend. He’s only an option as a cheap flier in DFS tournaments. WRs Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tyler Lockett gain target upside with Metcalf sidelined.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. HC Mike Macdonald said yesterday that he was hoping to get Metcalf on the field today, so it seems like he's not progressing as hoped. Metcalf now looks very iffy for this weekend's game vs. the Rams. We'll see if he gets on the field tomorrow.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) remained sidelined on Wednesday. HC Mike Macdonald said that he's "optimistic" Metcalf will be able to practice on Thursday and play vs. the Rams this weekend. Check back tomorrow for another update on his status.

Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald said Monday that he's "optimistic" WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) will play against the Rams this weekend. "He hasn’t practiced yet, so let’s let him practice and see how he feels before we start making judgments on the week," Macdonald added. We'll keep you updated on Metcalf's status throughout this week.

The Steelers have placed WR Roman Wilson on IR for his hamstring injury. The rookie sustained the injury in the practice week leading up to the Week 7 win over the Jets. Wilson missed that game and has played just 5 snaps all year. He previously dealt with an ankle injury suffered before the season.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Bills. He was seemingly pushing to play in this one, so we’re tentatively expecting him back for Week 9’s game vs. the Rams. WR Jake Bobo projects to take most of Metcalf’s snaps today but isn’t a recommended fantasy starter against Buffalo’s 10th-ranked WR defense.

Steelers RB Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Monday night's game vs. the Giants. He put in three limited practices this week but will now aim for a return after a Week 9 bye. RBs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren will continue to handle backfield touches for Pittsburgh on Monday night.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Bills. He’s obviously a long shot to play in that one but should have a chance to make it back for Week 9’s game vs. the Rams. WR Jake Bobo projects to take most of Metcalf’s snaps this Sunday but isn’t a recommended fantasy starter against Buffalo’s 10th-ranked WR defense.

Steelers RB Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) got in a limited practice on Thursday. That gives him a chance to return for Monday night's game vs. the Giants. Patterson isn't a fantasy option, but he'd likely steal a few touches from RBs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported this morning that Metcalf is "hopeful" to play vs. the Bills this weekend. But, for now, fantasy owners should not plan on having him for Week 8 lineups. We'll keep you updated on Metcalf's status leading up to Sunday. If he misses the Bills game, WR Jake Bobo will likely soak up most of his snaps.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler writes that Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) is "hopeful" to play vs. the Bills this weekend. "The feeling is the injury won't result in an extended absence for Metcalf," Fowler adds. It sounds like Metcalf should at least be back by Week 9, although it's still worth noting that Seattle has a Week 10 bye. We'll track Metcalf's status throughout the rest of this week.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf is considered "week to week" with a Grade 1 MCL sprain suffered in the Week 7 win over the Falcons, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Seattle gets the Bills and Rams the next two weeks before a Week 10 bye, so it's possible we don't see Metcalf again until Week 11.
