Minkah Fitzpatrick Fantasy

The Pittsburgh Steelers activated safety Minkah Fitzpatrick from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. Fitzpatrick missed last Sunday night's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The Steelers defense was also missing All-Pro linebacker T.J. Watt (hip, knee) and cornerback Joe Haden (foot) in Week 11, and it showed, as the Steelers could not slow down quarterback Justin Herbert and Company. With Fitzpatrick, Watt and Haden all expected to be available this Sunday against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals, the Steelers defense/special teams will be back in the picture as a starting fantasy unit this weekend. Fitzpatrick, a four-time Pro Bowler and four-time All-Pro, has 64 tackles (44 solo) and a forced fumble in nine games played this year.

Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick is unlikely to be available for the Week 11 game against the Los Angeles Chargers after testing positive for COVID-19, according to head coach Mike Tomlin. And with cornerback Joe Haden (foot) questionable to play this weekend as well, Pittsburgh's secondary could be vulnerable against Justin Herbert and the Bolts. Star pass-rusher T.J. Watt (hip, knee) is also questionable to play this weekend, so the Steelers defense/special teams may not be the most attractive unit in fantasy in Week 11. The 24-year-old Fitzpatrick, a four-time Pro Bowler and four-time All-Pro, has 64 tackles (44 solo), a pass defensed and a forced fumble in nine starts this year.

Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick has tested positive for COVID-19, according to a source. Fitzpatrick is now in danger of missing the team's Week 11 game against the Los Angeles Chargers unless he can return two negative tests within a 24-hour span and remain asymptomatic before Sunday's game. The 24-year-old is a big part of Pittsburgh's secondary, recording 64 tackles (44 solo), one pass defensed and one forced fumble in nine games this season. Fitzpatrick is a four-time Pro Bowler and four-time All-Pro, so if the Steelers are missing both him and cornerback Joe Haden (foot) against the Chargers, they'll be vulnerable deep down the field. The Steelers could also be without All-Pro linebacker T.J. Watt (hip, knee).
