PIT TE Vance McDonald - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Miami Dolphins
Vance McDonald had been missing practices throughout the first six weeks because of a shoulder injury. But he seems to be more healthy now, which should increase his usage. He's in that mix of tight ends just outside the top tier guys who could force their way into TE1 conversation if they start scoring more regularly. Will that be this week? That is anybody's guess, but the Dolphins will give up some plays to the tight end.

PIT TE Vance McDonald - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Los Angeles Chargers
Vance McDonald caught all three of his targets last week for 34 yards and now faces a Chargers defense missing both starting safeties. Don't be surprised if he's a little more of the game plan this week. The Steelers figure to use a lot of big packages to run the ball and then throw off of that, which could mean additional opportunities for McDonald. But he's no more than a low-end TE1, at best.

PIT TE Vance McDonald - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Baltimore Ravens
All signs point to Vance McDonald being ready to play this week, so feel free to start him if he's ready to go. The Ravens have struggled against tight ends and the Steelers feel McDonald is a nice security blanket for Mason Rudolph. The Ravens have been susceptible to tight ends, allowing 22 catches for 248 yards and a score in their first four games to the position. McDonald is a low-end TE1 assuming he plays.

PIT TE Vance McDonald - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Vance McDonald is expected to play at least a handful of snaps this week after leaving last week's game at San Francisco early with a shoulder injury. He had one catch for 10 yards on two targets before leaving early in the second quarter. Check his status Saturday before putting him in the lineup and maybe even have Nick Vannett ready to go if that's your play. If McDonald plays, he'll be on the field for passing downs, which is what you want, anyway.

PIT TE Vance McDonald - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at San Francisco 49ers
One player who didn't get hurt by Ben Roethlisberger getting hurt was Vance McDonald, who caught both of his touchdown passes last week from Mason Rudolph. McDonald finished with seven receptions -- on seven targets -- for 38 yards and the two scores. Look for more passes to the tight end to help Rudolph stay settled in. He remains a nice low-end TE1 play.

PIT TE Vance McDonald - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Seattle Seahawks
Vance McDonald was targeted just four times last week and finished with two receptions for 40 yards against the Patriots. But he did play 70% of the snaps, which was a plus. Seattle allowed nine receptions to Cincinnati's tight ends last week, so McDonald could find himself used more this week. He's a TE1 play this week.

PIT TE Vance McDonald - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at New England
As I reported a few weeks ago, the Steelers don't want McDonald being a full-time player who sees 60 snaps per game. But if he's on the field for 30 to 35 snaps, they're going to use him. He got just three targets and two catches for 13 yards against the Patriots last season, but one of those catches went for a touchdown. Look for the Steelers to try to get McDonald the ball a little more often in this game. He's a low-end TE1 play this week.
