Tomlin on RB Le'Veon Bell possibly reporting Wednesday: 'I hadn't thought about it'

Sep 04, 2018

Mike Tomlin on whether LeVeon Bell will report Wed: "I hadn't thought about it. We'll see. When he gets here, that's when we'll start."

Related players: James Conner

Fantasy Impact:

Tomlin doesn't have much of a choice to say anything else . The Steelers have to move on at least for now. As we talked about earlier today with an ESPN story, it's possible the team can get Bell ready in five days if he reports Wednesday and is in shape and ready to go. Even so, Bell is becoming a risky option for Week 1 and Conner should be added.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

The Eagles list QB Jalen Hurts as DNP on their estimated practice report because of a concussion, putting his status for this weekend in doubt.

Things aren't trending well for Hurts, as fantasy managers should be looking for a Championship Week back-up as soon as possible.

Steelers WR George Pickens officially Active for Christmas Day

yesterday · 11:39 AM EST

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
