Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers expect Watt to return this season as the pec injury he suffered in Week 1 will not require surgery. The star pass rusher will now miss at least the next four games. Although the Steelers defense as a whole played well in Week 1, losing their primary pass rusher is going to be a big blow and will definitely impact their sack totals. The Steelers DST should be downgraded until Watt is able to return.
