Kyle Rudolph evaluated for concussion

The Steelers ruled out WR Michael Pittman Jr. for Sunday against the Patriots with a foot injury.

Pittman did not practice all week. He will look to return next week against the Bengals. For now, D.K. Metcalf and Roman Wilson will likely operate as the top two wide receivers with Pat Freiermuth working underneath following scoring a touchdown last week against the Falcons.

DL Nnamdi Madubuike (neck), ILB Teddye Buchanan (knee) and CB T.J. Tampa (knee) are out for Sunday’s game against Saints. WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) also not expected to play. He’s doubtful.

Related Players: Mark Andrews, Rashod Bateman, Chris Moore, LaJohntay Wester, Devontez Walker, Elijah Sarratt

Flowers should be removed from tentative lineups unless Baltimore unexpectedly clears him Sunday. Bateman becomes the likely No. 1 receiver, while Andrews could lead the team in targets. Walker, Wester, Moore and Sarratt should divide the remaining receiver reps, leaving them as speculative options rather than confident starts.

Raiders are listing TE Brock Bowers as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Chargers due to his knee injury, per HC Klint Kubiak.

Related Players: Michael Mayer, Ian Thomas, Tre Tucker, Jalen Nailor, Jack Bech, Ashton Jeanty

Fantasy managers should prepare to be without Bowers despite his limited return. Mayer is a viable replacement at a thin position and should again handle the majority of Las Vegas’ tight end work. Tucker, Nailor and Jeanty also have paths to additional targets.
