Steelers Beat: WR Justin Hunter looking to be deep-play threat

Aug 26, 2018

WR Justin Hunter is trying to become that deep threat for the Steelers, embracing a golden opportunity after they traded Martavis Bryant to the Oakland Raiders at the NFL Draft.

At 6-foot-4, Hunter is the type of tall target that Ben Roethlisberger loves. Hunter received an endorsement from the quarterback after the game, despite the miscommunication that cost them a second scoring play.

Fantasy Impact:

The issue with Hunter has been inconsistency. The story pointed out a great play Hunter made for a TD against the Titans, but also added there were two mistakes before that easily could have led to more big plays. Roethlisberger has shown confidence in Hunter which the receiver appreciates, the story said, and the hope is it leads to chemistry between the two during the season.

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
