Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Tyler Huntley clears concussion protocol
Tyler Huntley cleared the concussion protocol but coach John Harbaugh declined to name a starting quarterback for Saturday’s game against the Browns.
Fantasy Impact
It seems as if Harbaugh wants to keep Cleveland guessing, but Huntley will more than likely remain the starter if he is healthy. He will be a high-end QB2 play if he is healthy.

Amari Cooper (hip) expected to ‘give it a go’ in Week 15
Amari Cooper returned to practice on Thursday and is expected to “give it a go” on Saturday against the Ravens.
Fantasy Impact
Cooper missed practice on Wednesday due to a hip injury and a rest day. He returned to practice on Thursday where he reportedly looked good, but he is still battling through his hip injury. Cooper will be a risky WR2 play for fantasy managers this week.

Diontae Johnson (hip) doesn’t practice Thursday
Diontae Johnson (hip) did not participate in Pittsburgh’s practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Johnson was a surprise addition to Pittsburgh’s injury report on Thursday, being listed as a non-participant due to a hip injury. It’s unclear when he picked up this injury, and the severity of it is also unknown. It still seems like he’s more likely to play than not, but fantasy managers should continue to monitor this situation as the week progresses.

Pat Freiermuth (foot) listed as non-participant in practice Thursday
Pat Freiermuth (foot) was listed as a non-participant in Thursday’s practice for the Steelers.
Fantasy Impact
Freiermuth is still managing a foot injury that has knocked him out of practice all week. His chances of playing in Week 15 get lower for every day he doesn’t practice, and it seems like there’s a chance he’ll be sidelined against the Panthers on Sunday. This is a situation worth monitoring for fantasy managers of the young tight end.
