Steelers Release TE Xavier Grimble (Injury Settlement)
The Steelers released TE Xavier Grimble on an injury settlement. Grimble was on IR with a calf injury and leaves the Steelers with Vance McDonald and Nick Vannett as their top TEs.
Vance McDonald questionable for Sunday
McDonald did not play in Week 1, but appears likely to return to action in Week 2. Jesse James and Xavier Grimble ate up the TE snaps against Cleveland, but neither player really produced much in the way of fantasy totals. James and McDonald will be vying for targets behind Brown and Smith-Schuster, with James Conner also likely to be more involved as a receiver. The Pittsburgh TEs are nothing more than GPP dart throws.
Vance McDonald and RT Marcus Gilbert ruled out for Week 8
DL Stephon Tuitt was ruled out earlier this week. It'll be his second straight absence due to a back injury. He's a huge part of the Steelers pass rush. He's PFF's fourth-ranked interior defender in the area while Tyson Alualu, who'll pick up more snaps again this week, checks in at 102nd. Fortunately, they'll still have Cameron Hayward, who's second at his position with 31 total pressures and five sacks. He should be able to maintain his production against a Lions offensive line that ranks 29th in pass blocking efficiency. McDonald's absence will open up more snaps for Jesse James and Xavier Grimble. After opening the season with six receptions and pair of touchdowns, James hasn't caught more than three balls and hasn't scored once. The tight end hasn't even logged a target for the past two games. Fortunately for him, the Lions are 27th in TE DVOA and allowing the seventh-most yards to the position. Even so, Roethlisberger will probably send the vast majority of his passes to Antonio Brown, Le'Veon Bell, and JuJu Smith-Schuster, limiting James' fantasy appeal.
