The Pittsburgh Steelers are giving QB John Rhys Plumlee opportunities as a kick returner on Thursday under the new kick return format. (Brooke Pryor on Twitter)

Rookie UDFA QB John Rhys Plumlee has been involved in returning kickoffs in the new format during today’s practice. So Justin Fields might not be returning kicks, but maybe the Steelers will have a QB back there after all.

Fantasy Impact:

After signing with Pittsburgh as an undrafted free agent, there was some talk that Plumlee could move over to wide receiver. The former UCF QB is known for his dynamism as an athlete, but he was a work in progress as a passer, which could potentially lend to him seeing more action in other roles.
