Dez Fitzpatrick
WR - Los Angeles Chargers
Dez Fitzpatrick has been released by the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Fantasy Impact
The Steelers are letting Fitzpatrick go and now have an open roster spot on their active roster. They signed him when Diontae Johnson went on IR with a hamstring injury, so this could possibly mean that Johnson will be back sooner rather than later. Until then, Calvin Austin III and Miles Boykin will both get more work as a result of his departure.
Steelers WR Dez Fitzpatrick is officialy inactive for a Week 3 matchup with the Raiders.
Fantasy Impact
With Fitzpatrick and Gunner Olszewski inactive, the Steelers and dressing just four wide receivers heading into Sunday Night Football. Fantasy managers should expect Calvin Austin and Miles Boykin to see additional snaps against the Raiders.

Fantasy Impact

The Tennessee Titans released WR Dez Fitzpatrick Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Fitzpatrick was originally drafted by the Titans in the fourth round in the 2021 draft. He was waived on cut day last season and suffered the same fate today. He was resigned to the practice squad, so it would not be a surprise if that happened this year as well.
Dez Fitzpatrick caught his only target for 14 yards on Sunday as the Titans lost to the Patriots by a 36-13 score in Week 12 action.
Fantasy Impact
It looked like Fitzpatrick would improve on his three catches for 35 yards day in Week 11 but that was not the case. Fitzpatrick will have a hard time seeing passes in the team's ball-control offense and can be left on the waiver wire.
