T.J. Watt

The Steelers activated linebacker T.J. Watt (hamstring) from the physically unable to perform list Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Watt began training camp on the team’s Active/PUP List due to an injured hamstring. He was activated in time to participate in the team’s Sunday night practice, his first of the summer. Watt will look to improve on his strong 2018 campaign when he finished with 13 sacks.

Steelers LB T.J. Watt has been placed on the PUP list.

Fantasy Impact

According to reports, he was moved to the active roster today but experienced tightness in his hamstring while doing the conditioning test and was moved back to the PUP. This is likely a precautionary measure, and Watt should be good to go for Week 1.

T.J. Watt turned in a dominating effort during the Steelers' 17-16 win over the Jaguars, recording six combined tackles, one TFL, two sacks, and two forced fumbles.

Fantasy Impact

Watt now has 10 sacks and four forced fumbles on the year, which both rank within the top 5 among all NFL defenders. The second-year pro is emerging as one of the NFL's most disruptive edge rushers and he carries massive weekly upside, making him a quality starter in all IDP leagues.

Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt recorded one tackle, one sack, and a forced fumble in Thursday night’s dominant 52-21 win over the Panthers. He also brought the pressure that forced linebacker Vince Williams’ first quarter pick-six.

Fantasy Impact

Watt delivered a devastating hit to quarterback Cam Newton on the sack, jarring the ball free. Unfortunately for Pittsburgh, running back Christian McCaffrey dove in to recover the ball. Watt now has eight sacks on the year, passing the total from his rookie season. He will look to add to that total next week against the Jaguars.

T.J. Watt recorded seven combined tackles, one sack, and two TFLs during the Steelers' 25-17 win over the Browns.

Fantasy Impact

Watt is enjoying a breakout 2018 campaign, as he sits toward the top of the NFL leader board in both sacks (7) and TFL (9). The youngest Watt brother has surprisingly already matched his rookie season's sack total through just seven games. Watt ranks in the top 10 in fantasy points per game at the LB position, making him a worthy starter in all IDP formats.
