Eric Ebron

Ebron certainly had his moments of relevancy in 2020 and he would've been a decent late-round target for 2021 if the Steelers hadn't invested a 2nd-round pick in Pat Freiermuth. While Ebron is still likely to be the TE1 for this team this season, Freiermuth's presence certainly muddies the waters. Additionally, Najee Harris also is going to command some targets out of the backfield, which makes Ebron a mid-range TE2 option that you could feel good rolling out in plus matchups. Otherwise, it's unlikely that we see him finish as a top-10 option when it's all said and done. My Very Early Projection: 46-498-4 receiving.

Eric Ebron tests positive for COVID-19

The Steelers placed TE Eric Ebron on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Fantasy Impact

Ebron was on the reserve/COVID-19 list when he missed the Steelers' regular season finale, but that was only as a close contact. This time, he tested positive, and the Steelers' facilities have been shut down. Pittsburgh isn't tied to either Ebron or Vance McDonald next season (with easy outs in the contracts). Of course, Ebron's fantasy value would be intriguing if he stayed and McDonald left.
