Anthony McFarland Jr.

Steelers RB Anthony McFarland Jr. is officially inactive for a Week 14 matchup with the Patriots.

Steelers RB Anthony McFarland Jr. is officially inactive for a Week 13 matchup with the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

McFarland did not appear on this week’s injury report and will remain a healthy scratch for the Steelers. Fantasy managers can leave the 24-year-old on the waiver wire.

Anthony McFarland Jr. hauled in each of his two targets for 11 yards in the Steelers' 30-7 Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

McFarland Jr. did not see significant involvement on offense for the Steelers Sunday, failing to register a carry while finishing last in targets as well. The running back is currently the third option out of the backfield behind Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren and will likely need an injury to one of the two to offer any sort of fantasy value in most formats.

Anthony McFarland Jr. carried the ball six times for 30 yards and added 11 yards on two catches in a 24-17 win over the Colts in Week 12.

Fantasy Impact

McFarland has spent most of the season on the practice squad but was active with rookie Jaylen Warren (hamstring) inactive. He saw some extra touches in Week 12 after Najee Haris left shortly before halftime with an abdominal injury and did not return. McFarland is an explosive runner but the Steelers have been hesitant to feature him over his three-year career. He could be active again in Week 13 against the Falcons if Harris is unable to suit up.

Anthony McFarland Jr. carried the ball seven times for 56 yards in a 32-25 preseason win over the Seahawks on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

McFarland led Pittsburgh in rushes and yardage in the win. The third-year running back is an explosive player but he is unlikely to see much playing time behind Najee Harris.
