Steelers QB Russell Wilson day-to-day with calf issue

Jul 25, 2024

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin told reporters that QB Russell Wilson is dealing with a calf issue that he woke up with and he’s considered day-to-day. Justin Fields took the first-team reps.

Fantasy Impact:

A murky situation continues to get murky, and it's unlikely to clear up any time soon. Wilson was reportedly the shoo-in as the lead guy through times this summer, but if Fields ends up shining with his opportunities, we can imagine that sentiment flipping. We'll keep an eye on the situation, but neither QB is an obvious click in fantasy as it currently stands.

Saints WR Rashid Shaheed to undergo surgery, possibly missing the rest of the '24 season

Coach Dennis Allen announces that Rashid Shaheed will undergo surgery on his meniscus, and during the surgery, it will be determined if he has the full repair or the trim.

The full repair would mean his season is over.

Fantasy Impact:

Miserable news for a player who had been contributing in many aspects, including special teams. Spencer Rattler's skill position group is being sniped by injuries, which makes the entire team a strong fade for fantasy purposes.

Saints HC Dennis Allen ruled out WR Chris Olave for Thursday night’s game vs. Denver due to a concussion.

Related Players: Juwan Johnson, Bub Means, Cedrick Wilson, Mason Tipton

Fantasy Impact:

Things are trending in the wrong direction for the Saints this week, with a number of impactful injuries looking to sap their offense. Mean is fine as a desperation Flex, but don't expect too much.

Jets WR Davante Adams is expected to play Week 7

Jets HC Jeff Ulbrich confirmed that WR Davante Adams — who has missed the past three games due to a hamstring injury — is expected to play Sunday vs. the Steelers.

Related Players: Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

It shouldn't take much time for Adams to get heavily involved in the offensive gameplan, with literally hundreds of targets from Aaron Rodgers on his resume. Though this is a tough matchup against the Steelers' defense, targets should be funneled to Adams and Wilson from the get-go. Put both of them in WR2 consideration this week.
