DK Metcalf News
Thursday, August 13, 2:44 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receivers DK Metcalf (undisclosed) and Michael Pittman Jr. (leg) are both in street clothes on Thursday night and will not play in the team's preseason opener versus the Green Bay Packers, according to Brian Batko of Steelers.com. Starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers will also be inactive. The Steelers are playing it safe with Metcalf and Pittman, their top two receivers while they deal with minor injuries early in the preseason. Both players should be fine for the start of the 2026 regular season in early September, and they could be cleared to play in the team's second preseason game on Aug. 21 against the New York Jets. The 28-year-old Metcalf is still a physical freak, but he failed to return to the 1,000-yard mark for a second straight season and his first in Pittsburgh in 2025, and he could fall short of that mark again in 2026 after the addition of Pittman with Rodgers leading the offense for one more season. Metcalf has a safe touchdown floor -- he's never scored fewer than five touchdowns in his seven NFL seasons -- but fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting a return to Metcalf's glory days from his time in Seattle.

Najee Harris News
Monday, August 17, 8:24 AM
Free-agent running back Najee Harris (Achilles) is visiting with the New York Giants on Monday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. It's the third known visit for Harris this year after he worked out with the Las Vegas Raiders and Seattle Seahawks earlier this spring. The Giants would be a poor fit for the 28-year-old, with second-year back Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr. firmly entrenched atop the team's RB depth chart going into the 2026 season. They also have Devin Singletary in their RB room. Harris, a former 24th overall pick in 2021 by the Pittsburgh Steelers, started his career off with four straight 1,000-yard rushing seasons in the Steel City before signing with the Los Angeles Chargers in free agency last spring. Harris made it only three games with the Bolts in 2025 before suffering a season-ending torn Achilles tendon. If Harris latches on with a new organization before the regular season begins, he'll merely be competing for a depth role and is unlikely to pique much interest in single-year fantasy leagues.
