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.

Jalen Brooks News
Friday, August 14, 12:33 AM
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Jalen Brooks led the team in targets, receptions, and yards in Thursday's preseason meeting with the Las Vegas Raiders. Brooks caught all six of his targets for 52 yards and one touchdown in the Cardinals' 27-14 victory. Brooks was Arizona's leading receiver in last week's Hall of Fame Game, as well. In that game, Brooks needed just three catches to record his team-high 99 receiving yards. Given how crowded the Cardinals' receiving room is, he will have to do all that he can to maintain a spot on the roster. A seventh-round pick in the 2023 draft, Brooks has only seen action in 27 regular-season games. With Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson, and Kendrick Bourne at the top of the depth chart, the chances of Brooks making an impact in fantasy are slim, but he is a name to watch as the preseason continues. Arizona's next matchup will be against the Dallas Cowboys on August 22.
