Andre Baccellia News
Tuesday, December 16, 5:10 PM
The Arizona Cardinals announced on Tuesday that they placed wide receiver Andre Baccellia (neck) on Injured Reserve, ending his season, according to Zach Gershman of AZCardinals.com. Baccellia was carted off the field and sent to a local hospital after a scary collision on a kickoff return in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans. The 28-year-old was released from the hospital and flew back with the team, but he won't play in the final three weeks of the season. The depth of Arizona's receiving corps has been tested with injuries to Baccellia, Zay Jones, Simi Fehoko, Marvin Harrison Jr., Greg Dortch, and Xavier Weaver, leaving Michael Wilson as the only healthy wideout on the 53-man roster. If Harrison misses another game with a heel injury in Week 16 against the Falcons, Jalen Brooks could be Arizona's WR2 behind Wilson.

Ben Skowronek News
Friday, October 10, 11:49 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Ben Skowronek (illness) was limited in practice earlier this week but carries no injury designation into a Week 6 showdown with the Cleveland Browns. Although the fifth-year pro has just one reception this season, he could be in line for additional opportunities on Sunday with Calvin Austin III (knee) sidelined. Scotty Miller and Roman Wilson may also step into expanded roles, but Skowronek logged the most snaps of the three in Week 4 before the team's bye. He's also the only one with any meaningful fantasy output this year, taking his lone catch into the end zone for a 22-yard score back in Week 1. With the Browns stifling the run through the first five weeks, quarterback Aaron Rodgers could be forced to throw the ball early and often. Skowronek can't be considered a viable option in most redraft formats, but he does have some sneaky appeal as a deep-league dart throw.
