Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt has impressed his teammates and coaches so far in training camp. The rookie logged two sacks in the team's preseason opener this past Friday and, according to linebackers coach Joey Porter, is under consideration to open the year as one of the team's starting outside linebackers.

Fantasy Impact:

Watt, the younger brother of Houston's star defender J.J. Watt, appears ready to take over the starting job while the team moves veteran James Harrison to a part-time role. Watt is a top-10 rookie linebacker in IDP leagues.
