Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee), TE Vance McDonald (concussion) questionable

Dec 17, 2019

Tomlin said WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) and TE Vance McDonald (concussion) could still be classified as questionable for the Jets.

Fantasy Impact:

Tomlin added McDonald is still in concussion protocol. Meanwhile for Smith-Schuster, he had a chance to play last week before being downgraded later in the week, and reports say it will be a similar situation this week. The Steelers are still alive for a playoff berth so having Smith-Schuster back would be a big deal for the offense and QB Devlin Hodges, who was recently named the starter.

Bills beat: Devin Singletary to be more involved in passing game in 2020

The Athletic

yesterday · 5:19 PM EDT

Joe Buscaglia: I believe the Bills would like to get Singletary more involved in the passing game this year, too. He’s an underrated route runner and his open-field vision makes him a potentially dangerous pass catcher. Singletary would likely draw the assignment of a linebacker or safety, and the Bills will like that matchup with how often he makes people miss.

Fantasy Impact:

Devin Singletary averaged 3.4 targets per game in 2019, but Buscaglia expects that number to rise in his sophomore season with the Bills. The Buffalo back is ranked as RB29 in half-PPR formats on 4for4.com and is leaving draft boards as a late-fourth to fifth-rounder.

PFT: NFL preseason to be cut in half

ProFootballTalk

2020 preseason has been cut in half, per source.
"Specifically, Week One and Week Four have been scrapped. The league is expected to announce the move on Thursday."

Fantasy Impact:

With the COVID-19 pandemic still very much in the mix, this is a no-brainer for the NFL. In Week 1 we don't usually see much from the starters and Week 4 is pretty useless from a fantasy-scouting perspective.
