Ben Skowronek A Deep Sleeper in Week 6

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.

Tai Felton Has Strong Day Against Ravens

Saturday, August 22, 7:45 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Tai Felton hauled in three of four targets for 66 yards in the 13-3 preseason loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Felton caught a 50-yard bomb from quarterback J.J. McCarthy down the right sideline, headlining a strong day for the second-year receiver. With the three starting receivers, Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and Jauan Jennings, all sitting out, Felton was the lead receiver. He played 18 of 19 snaps, ran 11 routes, and led the starting offense in targets against the Ravens. Some have speculated that Felton could be the WR3, ahead of Jennings in the receiver rotation, and Saturday's strong outing lends credibility to those theories. While Felton is unlikely to carry an impactful fantasy role this season, he could diminish Jennings' value as the third receiver in Minnesota.
