Chase Claypool News
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool said that he's trying to be more versatile this year and is working at multiple positions during organized team activities. Claypool was mostly boxed into a limited role in his first two years in the NFL, catching 121 passes for 1,733 yards and 11 touchdowns on 214 targets in 31 games (19 starts). The 23-year-old took a step backward last year with 59 catches on 105 targets for 860 yards and only two touchdowns after he scored nine times in his rookie campaign. It was especially frustrating for fantasy managers with JuJu Smith-Schuster out for most of the year with an injury. Claypool could become a bit more intriguing if he moves around the field more, but fantasy managers shouldn't have too high of expectations with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger now retired.
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool caught three of nine targets for 17 yards in a 26-14 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 17. Claypool got off to a hot start in the win, catching two passes on the first drive of the game, but he was shut out after halftime. The second-year wideout has been a disappointment in fantasy this year, with just one touchdown reception in 14 games. Claypool will be a low-end flex option in Week 18's regular-season finale against the Baltimore Ravens.
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool turned in another quiet outing in Week 16, catching just four passes for 41 yards. On the plus side, he played on 81.9% of the snaps, his highest total since back in Week 12. Claypool will look to find the end zone for just the second time all year when he takes on the Cleveland Browns in Week 17's Monday Night Football game. Back when these two teams faced off in Week 8, Claypool caught just four balls for 45 yards. Claypool's immense potential has been limited by Ben Roethlisberger, who has not been throwing deep very effectively in 2021. Treat Claypool as a boom/bust WR4 in Week 17.
