Cam Skattebo, J.J. McCarthy cleared for Thursday night

The Steelers will be opening the 21-day window for DT Derrick Harmon today, per Mike McCarthy.

Michael Pittman Jr. is making progress, but they’re not opening his window yet.

Related Players: DK Metcalf, Germie Bernard, Brandon Smith, Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington, Aaron Rodgers, Jaylen Warren, Rico Dowdle

DK Metcalf remains a WR2, while Germie Bernard is a WR3/FLEX consideration with one fewer established receiver competing for targets. Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington remain touchdown-dependent TE2 options, and Aaron Rodgers is best used in SuperFlex formats.

Mike LaFleur confirms Gardner Minshew will undergo surgery on his UCL and be out for the season. Carson Beck officially named the starter this week.

Related Players: Josh Johnson, Joey Aguilar, Trey McBride, Elijah Higgins, Reggie Virgil, Devin Duvernay, Simi Fehoko, Tyler Allgeier, Zonovan Knight

Beck is worth adding in SuperFlex leagues where starting quarterbacks are scarce, but he is a lower-end QB2 rather than a one-quarterback streamer. Trey McBride remains a TE1 and Arizona’s most dependable receiving option. Tyler Allgeier offers FLEX appeal, while the remaining receivers belong on deeper-league benches until Beck establishes some chemistry.

Not practicing today for @Titans:

Anthony Hill
Cody Barton
Peter Skoronski
Carnell Tate
Tyjae Spears

Related Players: Tony Pollard, Michael Carter, Wan'Dale Robinson, Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike, Calvin Ridley, Gunnar Helm, Cam Ward

If Tate cannot return, Wan'Dale Robinson becomes a more appealing PPR FLEX, while Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike gain deeper-league opportunities. Neither should automatically replace Tate in a typical starting lineup. Tony Pollard remains an RB2 and would face less competition for backfield work if Spears sits. Michael Carter would be a reserve option rather than someone to chase on waivers for a spot-start.
