Steelers WR Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) will be placed on short-term injured reserve on Saturday, Oct. 10, causing him to miss at least the next four games. Pittman aggravated his foot injury from Week 2.

Why It Matters: Fantasy managers who drafted Pittman cannot be pleased at the runout so far in his first season as a Steeler. Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard will be more involved in the passing game with Pittman out. Wilson can be considered a WR4 receiver or flex option, while Bernard is more of a WR5 fantasy option.
