Watt (groin) did not participate in practice Friday, Sept. 22, and have been ruled out for Week 3. OT Jerald Hawkins (knee) was limited during practice and is listed as questionable. DE Stephon Tuitt (biceps) fully participated in practice and is listed as questionable. LB Bud Dupree (shoulder), TE Jesse James (ankle), C Maurkice Pouncey (illness), QB Ben Roethlisberger (non-injury) and FS J.J. Wilcox (concussion) fully participated in practice and are not in the injury report. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Jesse James not on injury report Fri, 22 Sep 2017 12:25:15 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers TE Jesse James (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 22, and is not in the injury report for Week 3. Fantasy Tip: James likely will receive a few targets against the Chicago Bears this week and will be a weapon if the team is close to the end zone. Owners probably can find more consistent options to use in their lineups and can keep James on the bench. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Ben Roethlisberger ready to play Fri, 22 Sep 2017 12:18:18 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 22, and is not in the injury report for Week 3. Fantasy Tip: Roethlisberger has struggled on the road over the last few seasons but has a chance to play better since all of his pass catchers will be available. He will be facing a Chicago Bears defense that has allowed 502 passing yards in the first two games. Owners in deeper leagues can consider Roethlisberger as a low-end No. 1 quarterback. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Thursday practice report for Steelers Thu, 21 Sep 2017 14:20:20 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers OT Marcus Gilbert (hamstring, illness) and LB T.J. Watt (groin) did not participate in practice Thursday, Sept. 21. LB Bud Dupree (shoulder), OT Jerald Hawkins (knee), WR Darrius Heyward-Bey (illness), C Maurkice Pouncey (illness), DE Stephon Tuitt (biceps) and SS J.J. Wilcox (concussion) fully participated in practice. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Ben Roethlisberger back on the field Thu, 21 Sep 2017 14:16:43 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (non-injury) fully participated in practice Thursday, Sept. 21. Fantasy Tip: Roethlisberger is off to a solid start to the season with 506 yards and four touchdowns but will be a risky option for owners because he struggles on the road. He will have a favorable matchup in Week 3 and could still be a low-end No. 1 quarterback in deeper leagues. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Jesse James limited Thursday Thu, 21 Sep 2017 14:08:13 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers TE Jesse James (ankle) was limited during practice Thursday, Sept. 21. Fantasy Tip: James was able to return to the Week 2 game after suffering the injury, so he should have a good chance to play this week. He has been targeted 13 times in two games and is a red-zone target for the Steelers, but owners may be able to find better options for their lineups. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Justin Thomas off practice squad Wed, 20 Sep 2017 16:40:02 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers WR Justin Thomas was waived from the practice squad Wednesday, Sept. 20. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Jesse James unable to practice Wed, 20 Sep 2017 13:56:16 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers TE Jesse James (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Sept. 20. Fantasy Tip: James opened with two touchdowns in Cleveland, and he has racked up 10 receptions through two games. Ben Roethlisberger loves to employ his tight end, and as such James is a decent option in most PPR formats when healthy. He has lesser value in standard formats due to his lack of yardage. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Pittsburgh practice report for Wednesday Wed, 20 Sep 2017 13:52:47 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers OT Marcus Gilbert (hamstring), WR Darrius Heyward-Bey (illness), TE Jesse James (ankle), C Maurkice Pouncey (illness) and QB Ben Roethlisberger (rest) did not practice Wednesday, Sept. 20. LB Bud Dupree (shoulder), DE Stephon Tuitt (biceps) amd LB T.J. Watt (groin) were limited participants, while S J.J. Wilcox (concussion) practiced in full. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Ben Roethlisberger rested Wednesday Wed, 20 Sep 2017 13:36:45 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (rest) was given the day off to rest at practice Wednesday, Sept. 20. Fantasy Tip: Big Ben was getting the typical veteran's day to rest, and he'll likely be back at it as a full participant on Thursday as the team ramps up for its Week 3 game in Chicago. He remains a reliable fantasy option, even in what is his final season in the NFL. Comment () | Share: Steelers | J.J. Wilcox close to getting cleared Tue, 19 Sep 2017 10:41:11 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers S J.J. Wilcox (concussion) is in the last step of concussion protocol, according to head coach Mike Tomlin. Comment () | Share: Steelers | T.J. Watt might be able to play Week 3 Tue, 19 Sep 2017 10:29:50 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers LB T.J. Watt (groin) "has a chance" to play in Week 3 versus the Chicago Bears, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.

Comment () | Share: Steelers | Jesse James expects to play Mon, 18 Sep 2017 16:29:18 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers TE Jesse James (ankle) said he expects to play in Week 3 even though he suffered an ankle injury during the team's Week 2 game. Fantasy Tip: Owners can monitor James' progress during the week and will know more about his status after three days of practice. James scored twice in Week 1 but should only be considered a No. 2 tight end in most fantasy leagues. Comment () | Share:  |
