Steelers WR Michael Pittman (foot) says 'no time frame' for return

Nick Farabaugh on X

Nov 02 · 2:42 PM EST

Michael Pittman Jr. gives an update on his foot injury and says there’s no definitive time frame.

Fantasy Impact:

According to the post, Pittman said he’s started running, and it’s been frustrating for him. “There’s no time frame. I’d like to be back out there after the bye, but I can’t be out there if I’m not effective,” Pittman said in the post. The Steelers have a bye this week, but based on his status, it seems unlikely he's back for Week 10. The Steelers are 6-2 and certainly getting by their WRs and TEs and there doesn't appear to be a need to rush him back.

Rico Dowdle questionable for Sunday’s game in Paris

Steelers

Oct 23 · 9:44 AM EDT

Rico Dowdle is questionable for Sunday against New Orleans with a knee injury. Pittsburgh did not practice Friday because of the weather; Dowdle’s limited participation was an estimate.

Fantasy Impact:

If Dowdle misses, Warren would have a clearer path to additional carries and receiving work, strengthening his RB1 case against New Orleans. Dowdle would be a riskier FLEX if active without clarity on his workload.

Steelers WR Michael Pittman Jr. expected to miss "multiple weeks"

Steelers HC Mike McCarthy said WR Michael Pittman Jr. re-injured his foot and now is expected to miss multiple weeks.

Fantasy Impact:

We've already seen Wilson notch six targets in four-straight games, so we could expect that usage to continue while Pittman is sidelined. He's an interesting WR4/FLEX play for teams looking to fill some holes over the first bye weeks. Metcalf is a stronger WR2-type.

Steelers HC Mike McCarthy promises more opportunities for DK Metcalf

Nick Farabaugh

Sep 24 · 2:25 PM EDT

Mike McCarthy on DK Metcalf and where he's at:

"I think just the biggest thing, number one, just know he has our support. We're going to throw the ball to DK. I can promise you that. But just continue to work. He's a true professional."

Fantasy Impact:

McCarthy’s comments do not guarantee an immediate breakout, but Pittsburgh clearly has no intention of reducing Metcalf’s role after two inefficient games. His current low-end WR2 ranking appropriately balances the expected volume with an offense that has struggled to create explosive plays. Fantasy managers should continue starting him as a lower-end WR2/WR3, with hopes that a blow-up game could turn things around. Metcalf has shown he is able to turn one positive play into some big fantasy output.
