Pittsburgh Steelers news, rumors and injuriesSteelers | Big Ben has helped Mason Rudolph Wed, 20 Jun 2018 18:36:07 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers QB Mason Rudolph said he is getting along with QB Ben Roethlisberger and that Roethlisberger has been helpful when they have around each other. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Joshua Dobbs appears to be odd man out Mon, 18 Jun 2018 10:53:27 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers QB Joshua Dobbs probably will not make the 53-man roster unless there is an injury to one of the other quarterbacks or if a quarterback is traded. Comment () | Share: Steelers | James Washington sees time with starters Sun, 17 Jun 2018 19:22:16 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers WR James Washington spent time with the first-team offense in three-receiver sets during minicamp. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Ben Roethlisberger won't pursue extension Sun, 17 Jun 2018 17:07:24 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger won't pursue an extension on his contract, which expires in two years, over the summer months. Roethlisberger said he prefers to just play football and let his representation worry about the money. Fantasy Tip: With no distractions over money, Roethlisberger should be a decent mid-round selection in most fantasy drafts, either as a low QB1 or high QB2. The question is can he stay healthy. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Tyler Matakevich seizing his opportunity Sun, 17 Jun 2018 14:58:10 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers LB Tyler Matakevich assumed the starting inside linebacker job opposite Vince Williams throughout OTAs and has shown "the instincts for the position" as well as the ability to play with an edge, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Tyler Matakevich could start Sat, 16 Jun 2018 09:13:26 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers LB Tyler Matakevich received snaps with the first-team defense during offseason workouts and appears to have a legitimate chance to win the starting inside linebacker job opposite LB Vince Williams. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Morgan Burnett misses minicamp Sat, 16 Jun 2018 09:11:38 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers FS Morgan Burnett (undisclosed) did not participate in the minicamp this week because of a minor undisclosed injury. Comment () | Share: Steelers | JuJu Smith-Schuster likes the slot Thu, 14 Jun 2018 21:13:48 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster said he likes playing in the slot because it fits his aggressive style of play. "I like playing inside," Smith-Schuster said. "I just love the physicalness of being in the box with the bigger guys." Fantasy Tip: Smith-Schuster topped 900 yards receiving last year to go along with seven touchdowns, and he has the potential to improve on those numbers in 2018. At worst, he should deliver WR3 production. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Jaylen Samuels doing it all Thu, 14 Jun 2018 19:07:56 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Samuels has been doing all the things RB Le'Veon Bell normally does for the offense during practice. "He's a hybrid guy who can move around and do some things," wide receivers coach Darryl Drake said. "I like his skill set." Fantasy Tip: Bell is the workhorse in the offense as long as he remains in Pittsburgh, but he is still waiting on a long-term deal. Samuels can be ignored in redraft leagues, but he could be worth stashing in dynasty formats. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Mason Rudolph pushing for backup gig Thu, 14 Jun 2018 18:58:59 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers QB Mason Rudolph has lived up to expectations, according to offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner, and could open the year as the No. 2 quarterback. Comment () | Share: Steelers | No talks between Le'Veon Bell, Steelers Thu, 14 Jun 2018 13:07:03 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell is not having contract talks with the Steelers at this point. Fantasy Tip: Bell and the Steelers have about a month to work on a long-term deal before the July deadline. He probably will skip most of training camp like last season if he does not receive a new deal. He will be a No. 1 fantasy running back in all leagues if he plays all 16 games this season. Comment () | Share: Steelers | JuJu Smith-Schuster has knee issue Wed, 13 Jun 2018 12:08:41 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) has been limited this offseason by what he referred to as a frustrating injury. He has not participated in team drills during organized team activities or minicamp, but he does expect to be ready when training camp begins. Fantasy Tip: As long as JuJu doesn't have any setbacks leading up to or during training camp he should be fine for the regular season. It will be a tall task for him to improve on his 917-yard, seven-touchdown rookie year, but he did miss two contests. He's a legitimate WR2 candidate. Comment () | Share: Steelers | James Conner shows well in OTAs Sun, 10 Jun 2018 13:30:03 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers RB James Conner caught the eye of QB Ben Roethlisberger during the team's recently completed OTAs, telling the Pittsburgh Tribune Live's Joe Rutter that Conner is "looking really well right now" and that "(Conner) has gotten a lot better (since his rookie season)." Comment () | Share: Steelers | Chris Boswell could receive extension Fri, 08 Jun 2018 17:23:18 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers PK Chris Boswell likely will receive a contract extension this offseason, in the opinion of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Ed Bouchette. Fantasy Tip: Boswell has been a quality kicker for the Steelers over the last several years and can be a weekly starting option for fantasy owners. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Ben Roethlisberger back with team Wed, 06 Jun 2018 19:37:12 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger participated in organized team activities Wednesday, June 6. He said he missed the last several workouts because of a pre-planned vacation. Fantasy Tip: Roethlisberger will have a majority of his weapons back for this season and should be able to post similar numbers as he did in 2017 as long as he can stay healthy. He can be a low-end No. 1 quarterback in most leagues. Comment () | Share:  |
