Steelers WR Germie Bernard caught 6 of 9 targets for 80 yards in Sunday’s 34-22 win over the Colts. His longest catch went for 25 yards, and he added 4 yards on a carry. That added up to 14.4 PPR points. Bernard led Pittsburgh in targets and became the every-down receiver with Michael Pittman Jr. on injured reserve. Over the first three drives, he and DK Metcalf each played 19 of 20 snaps.
Steelers WR Michael Pittman is expected to miss multiple weeks after aggravating his foot injury, HC Mike McCarthy said Thursday. Pittman has totaled just 7 catches for 89 yards across his three games this season and can be dropped from redraft rosters. His absence should mean a boost in playing time for rookie WR Germie Bernard, who registered an 86% route rate and 8 targets when Pittman missed Week 2. Bernard is a fine stash in deeper leagues, but we wouldn't trust him in Week 5 fantasy lineups. WRs D.K. Metcalf and Roman Wilson and TEs Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington could also see more targets with Pittman out.
Update: Pittman has been placed on IR, knocking him out at least through Pittsburgh's Week 9 bye.
Steelers WR Michael Pittman caught just 2 of 4 targets for 15 yards in Thursday night's loss to the Browns. He finished sixth on the team in targets, catches, and receiving yards. His 71% route rate still ranked second among Pittsburgh WRs but was a season low.
