Darrius Heyward-Bey Fantasy Stats

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Bengals. DHB isn't on the fantasy radar at all. The 31-year-old has yet to catch a pass for the Steelers in 2018.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Heyward-Bey looks doubtful to play in Week 6 against the Bengals. He has yet to record a catch in 2018 and remains well off the fantasy radar.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey (ankle) is inactive in Week 5 against the Falcons after missing practice all week. Heyward-Bey has yet to record a catch this season, so he hasn't been anywhere near the fantasy radar. His absence will mostly be felt on special teams on Sunday.

The Steelers have officially listed Darrius Heyward-Bey as questionable for Sunday's tilt with the Ravens. It's a huge step in the right direction for DHB as he hasn't seen the field since injuring his foot back in Week 9. Ironically, the opposing team that sidelined him was in fact Baltimore so there's bound to be some added motivation to get back out there. Heyward-Bey would provide some much needed depth for the Steelers who are expected to be without Sammie Coates and Ladarius Green. That said, this doesn't do much for fantasy purposes.

With Markus Wheaton banged up for a majority of the season. Darrius Heyward-Bey has seen extended playing time at wide receiver. Even though Wheaton is expected to return against the Baltimore Ravens this week, DHB has earned a starting spot in the lineup. Given the team's strength at the position, Wheaton now faces an uphill battle for a meaningful role in the offense. Between Heyward-Bey playing well enough to earn his spot, the emergence of Sammie Coates and the presence of Eli Rogers, it's impossible to envision a scenario where Markus Wheaton retains any fantasy value for the 2016 season.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Darrius Heyward-Bey caught 3-of-7 targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in Week 7 against the New England Patriots. Heyward-Bey scored Pittsburgh's only touchdown on Sunday afternoon, which was his second is as many games. The veteran wideout usually finds himself buried under the team's surplus of offensive talent for opportunities. However, Heyward-Bey is making the most of them, finding the end zone on 3-of-6 touches on the year. For fantasy football purposes, Heyward-Bey is not worth rostering in leagues with fewer than 16 teams, and even that is a stretch due to the limited opportunities he will receive on a game-to-game basis. Barring injury to the wideouts ahead of him on the depth chart, Heyward-Bey should remain on the fantasy waiver wire moving forward.
