DK Metcalf "Moving in the Right Direction" for Week 15

Tuesday, December 9, 12:45 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said on Tuesday that wide receiver DK Metcalf (stomach) is "moving in the right direction" and that he doesn't think it'll "jeopardize" his availability for Monday night's game against the Miami Dolphins, according to ESPN's Brooke Pryor. Metcalf experienced stomach pains that resulted in a hospital visit in Baltimore following Sunday's big win over the Ravens. The 27-year-old wideout was taken to the hospital out of an abundance of caution, and he was cleared to leave the hospital to fly back to Pittsburgh on Monday. We'll keep a close eye on Metcalf's status this week, but barring a setback, it sounds like he'll be available for fantasy managers in a strong matchup in Week 15 -- the first week of the fantasy playoffs in most leagues. Metcalf will look to keep his momentum going if he's available on Monday after his second 100-yard game and a season-high 148 receiving yards in Sunday's win over the Ravens.

Michael Pittman Jr. Catches Just One Ball in Week 13 Loss

Monday, December 1, 5:32 AM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. caught just one of his four targets for 13 yards in a 20-16 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 13. Pittman was quiet in the close loss as the Colts mostly leaned on Alec Pierce in the contest. The veteran receiver is putting together a solid season, posting 60 catches for 620 yards and seven touchdowns in 12 games. Despite the slow outing, Pittman remains one of the top targets on an excellent Colts offense. He will look to bounce back on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 14.
