Michael Pittman Jr. is Worth Stashing with Return Looming

Tuesday, November 10, 4:54 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) is hopeful to get back on the field for the Week 10 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Pittman has been out since October 10 due to a foot injury. He has resumed running and is hopeful to play for the first time since Week 4 on Sunday. Through three games, Pittman has recorded seven receptions for 89 yards and zero touchdowns. He figures to be significantly involved in the passing attack once he gets back on the field. It's unclear if he'll return this week, but it sounds like Pittman is getting closer to a return. Fantasy managers in need of help at wideout and are willing to be patient should consider adding Pittman this week.

Xavier Worthy Could See Reduced Role In Week 10

Friday, November 13, 12:37 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will take on the Atlanta Falcons on the road in Week 10. Worthy had a decent performance last week, catching six passes for 48 yards in the dominant 35-12 win over the New York Jets. Worthy led the team in receptions and finished second in targets, tied with Travis Kelce. Despite the encouraging performance, Worthy could be in for a decrease in usage with the addition of wide receiver Josh Downs at the trade deadline. Downs is one of the NFL's best separators in man coverage, making him a valuable target for quarterback Patrick Mahomes. With Rashee Rice routinely leading the team in targets and Kelce not far behind, it will be interesting to see how the rest of the target tree shakes out with Downs. With running back Kenneth Walker also getting multiple targets a game, there may be too many mouths to feed for Worthy to be a dependable fantasy asset. On top of the target competition, the Falcons defense has typically been a tough matchup for wide receivers. Worthy simply has multiple things working against him this week. Worthy is ranked WR58 in our RotoBaller Week 10 PPR rankings, making him a desperation flex option this weekend.
