Michael Pittman Jr. News
Friday, September 4, 7:35 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. is moving in the right direction after a hamstring injury took a chunk out of his training camp. Pittman had not practiced since Aug. 8 before getting back on the field Aug. 24, and he was still participating in team work this week as Pittsburgh began ramping up for the regular season. General manager Omar Khan has said Pittman is expected to be available for the Sept. 13 opener against Atlanta, although head coach Mike McCarthy made it clear the Steelers are still being smart with his workload. That matters after Pittman missed the entire preseason and lost valuable reps in a new offense. Pittsburgh brought him in this spring after he caught 80 passes for 784 yards and a career-high seven touchdowns with Indianapolis last year. DK Metcalf remains the top receiver, but Pittman should have a steady role underneath once he is fully up to speed. His summer took a hit, but the outlook is getting better now that Week 1 appears to be back on the table.

Marvin Harrison Jr. News
Saturday, September 12, 5:59 AM
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.'s injury-plagued 2025 season limited him to 12 games, which paved the way for Michael Wilson to erupt for 1,006 yards and seven touchdowns. Wilson's breakout was rewarded with a recent three-year, $75 million extension. The strong investment suggests Harrison has been bumped down a peg in Arizona's hierarchy of pass-catchers. Still, Harrison is a viable option in fantasy football for Week 1. Arizona is a nine-point underdog to the Chargers in their season opener, and running back Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is a game-time decision, which could mean the Cardinals opt for a pass-heavy attack. Brissett showed us last year that he was not shy about airing it out, averaging 40.3 pass attempts per game in 10 starts. If he follows suit in Week 1, there may be enough to go around for Harrison to pay off, albeit with a limited ceiling. Given the uncertainty around his role, Harrison should be seen as a WR3/flex option in Week 1.
