Pittsburgh Steelers WR Plaxico Burress, who also played for the New York Jets in 2011, said QB Mark Sanchez could improve in the future. "I think he will turn the corner and become a good quarterback in the league," Burress said. "... I've said that from Day One. But he has to just go out and put it together. I believe that he will."
Fantasy Tip: Sanchez will receive competition in training camp from Greg McElroy and Geno Smith, but it's Sanchez's job to lose. If he does enough to win the job, he won't be recommended as a solid backup fantasy QB, though, given the Jets' lack of weapons on roster.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Plaxico Burress is not expected to be active for the team's Week 14 game with WR Jerricho Cotchery (rib) returning from a rib injury. Burress said he would not be a distraction if he does not play. "Like I told the guys upstairs, I am willing to go out and fulfill whatever role is presented to me, and I stand by that," Burress said. "Whenever they put me in the game, I want to answer the call." Burress has yet to make a catch since joining the team. He's been targeted only two times and has played only 12 of 132 snaps.
