Who Should I Start? Hakeem Butler or Penny Hart

Monday, August 21, 2:31 PM

The Pittsburgh Steelers have released wide receiver Hakeem Butler (undisclosed) with an injury designation. The big-bodied pass-catcher racked up 51 receptions for 599 yards and a league-leading eight touchdown scores in the XFL in 2023 but didn't last very long during his second chance to make it in the NFL. Butler was a fourth-round pick by the Arizona Cardinals in 2019 but did not log a reception for the team, and has zero receptions on one target in two games played with the Philadelphia Eagles in his career. After failing to make the Steelers roster, his NFL career might be over.

Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said that wide receiver Penny Hart (head) was looked at and taken out of Friday night's preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals because of a concussion. Hart was targeted just once in the 13-13 tie and hit his head hard on the turf while trying to catch a pass from quarterback Taylor Heinicke. It's unclear what Hart's status is on Saturday and it remains unclear if he'll be cleared to play in the team's preseason finale on Thursday, Aug. 24, against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hart is currently off the fantasy radar while being buried on Atlanta's receiver depth chart behind Drake London, Mack Hollins, KhaDarel Hodge and others.
