Steelers Sign Marquez Valdes-Scantling to 53-man Roster

Monday, December 15, 11:54 AM

The Pittsburgh Steelers are signing veteran wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the active roster ahead of their matchup on Monday Night Football with the visiting Miami Dolphins. Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported the news. Pittsburgh intended to elevate the 31-year-old from its practice squad for their meeting with Miami, but will instead choose to make him a fixture on their roster for the remainder of the season. Valdes-Scantling made his first appearance with the team in Week 14, playing 31% of snaps and failing to bring in his lone target. He doesn't figure to be involved enough to matter for fantasy, and can likely be avoided in all formats.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Practicing Again on Thursday

Thursday, December 18, 1:42 PM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) was seen practicing for the second straight day on Thursday, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. Harrison was listed as limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. The 23-year-old missed Weeks 11 and 12 following an appendectomy, and when he returned in Week 13, he suffered a heel injury that forced him to sit out Weeks 14 and 15. All signs are pointing to Harrison returning this weekend against the Atlanta Falcons, though. Michael Wilson has gone bonkers for fantasy managers with Harrison sidelined for four of the last five games, and Harrison could take a back seat to him upon his return. Still, Harrison has plenty of upside in Arizona's pass-happy offense if he makes it back against Atlanta after catching six of seven targets for 69 yards in his last game on Nov. 30.
