Pittsburgh Steelers DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the New York Giants. The veteran back has been limited in practice all week and now will miss his fourth straight game. His absence won't mean too much with Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren both healthy heading into Monday's game. Patterson probably won't see much of the field as a runner once he's back to full health anyway.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields (hamstring) has been added to the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the New York Giants. This is not good news with Fields suffering an injury only a day before gameday. His absence shouldn't make much of an impact given the fact that Russell Wilson has taken over the starting gig in Pittsburgh. The absence of Fields means that Kyle Allen will likely be promoted to the second string for Monday's Week 8 contest.

New York Jets wide receiver Mike Williams could see some more snaps on Sunday versus the Patriots. With Allen Lazard (chest) doubtful, the former Charger may serve as the No. 3 wideout on the depth chart behind Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson. Williams tenure with the Jets hasn't been productive, amassing only 11 catches (19 targets) for 160 yards. There's been talk he'll be traded at some point. But for now, it appears he'll remain a Jet and may get some attention from Aaron Rodgers in Week 8. However, Williams is far from a starting-caliber fantasy option.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) is now listed as doubtful for Monday night against the New York Giants. He's been limited at practice throughout the week, and head coach Mike Tomlin indicated there was a shot he'd be back for Week 8. However, it appears the veteran will miss his fourth straight game because of the ankle injury. Patterson has 16 carries for 92 yards this season, adding five grabs for 34 yards. However, with Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren active, Patterson wouldn't have been involved enough to be relevant for fantasy managers.
