Cobi Hamilton Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections
Ladarius Green and Sammie Coates INACTIVE Sunday
Green (concussion) and Coates (hamstring) were both listed as doubtful heading into the Steelers Christmas matchup with the Ravens. Jesse James will start at tight end in place of Green while Cobi Hamilton and Darrius Heyward-Bey will take over for Coates' snaps. Of course, they're all very risky options as the majority of targets will go to Antonio Brown, Le'Veon Bell, and to a lesser extent, Eli Rogers. Brown and Bell have combined for over 50% of Pittsburgh's total receptions. Baltimore's best corner, Jimmy Smith, is inactive, which places Brown in an excellent spot. Both he and Bell will surely come with high ownership on the Christmas slate.
Sammie Coates has second broken finger
Coates only played two snaps in Week 10 after breaking another finger on his left hand. There was speculation heading into the game that Coates had been demoted, which turned out to be true, although that was partially due to his injuries. Cobi Hamilton will be the third receiver while Darrius Heyward-Bey is out. He only had one target against the Cowboys though, so he won't be relevant in fantasy. Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell will continue to get all the work they can handle, while Eli Rogers should see an uptick in production (he had a 4/42/1 line against Dallas). Tight end Ladarius Green had three receptions for 30 yards in his first game with the Steelers, and he could be a sneaky option next week against the terrible Browns' pass defense.
