Michael Pittman Jr. News
Monday, August 24, 8:44 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (hamstring), who had not practiced since Aug. 8 due to a hamstring injury, returned to training camp practice on Monday and was seen stretching in pads, according to Chris Ward of Steelers Now. In addition to Pittman, the Steelers got top wideout DK Metcalf back from an undisclosed injury that kept him out since Aug. 8 as well. Barring setbacks, both Pittman and Metcalf should be ready for the Week 1 regular-season opener in early September. After being acquired by Pittsburgh in an offseason trade with the Indianapolis Colts, he will help add much-needed WR depth behind Metcalf for quarterback Aaron Rodgers in 2026. But in an offense that could remain ground-based under new head coach Mike McCarthy and with an aging QB, Pittman will not suddenly have newfound fantasy football upside in the Steel City. The 28-year-old pass-catcher had a career-high seven touchdowns in 17 games in 2025 in his final year in Indy, but he also went for just 784 yards, which were his fewest since his rookie campaign in 2020. RotoBaller has Pittman ranked as the WR43 going into his first year with the Steelers.

Marvin Harrison Jr. News
Thursday, August 27, 11:57 AM
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is giving fantasy managers more reason to buy back in after an injury-marred 2025 season. Harrison caught 41 of 73 targets for 608 yards and four touchdowns in 12 games last year while dealing with a concussion, an appendectomy, a heel injury, and a separate foot issue that eventually landed him on injured reserve. This summer has been much cleaner. Harrison has stayed on the field throughout camp and made an impact in his first preseason action against Las Vegas, drawing a 20-yard pass-interference penalty from the slot before catching a seven-yard touchdown from Jacoby Brissett on the opening drive. Mike LaFleur has identified Harrison as Arizona's X receiver while also making it clear the offense can move him inside and outside through formations and motion. The target competition is still substantial. Trey McBride posted 126 catches for 1,239 yards and 11 touchdowns last season, while Michael Wilson went for 1,006 yards and seven scores. Harrison has plenty left to prove after two uneven NFL seasons, but his health, clearer role, and encouraging preseason work have his stock moving back up. RotoBaller currently ranks him WR32 in half-PPR.
