Minkah Fitzpatrick Fantasy

Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol, according to head coach Mike Tomlin. Fitzpatrick was assessed after the Week 3 game against the Cleveland Browns last Thursday night. The 25-year-old four-time All-Pro should now be considered questionable to play in Week 4 against the New York Jets by his fantasy managers in IDP leagues. When healthy, he is a must-start defensive back in IDP leagues, but fantasy managers might have to pivot to another option this weekend if he can't get cleared. Through the first three weeks, Fitzpatrick has 24 tackles (14 solo), two interceptions (one for a touchdown) and two passes defensed. Check back later this week to see if he has made progress in the protocols.

Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (wrist) was activated from the Non-Football Injury list on Thursday. The defensive specialist hurt his wrist while on vacation during the offseason, although it didn't take him long to shed his NFI designation and re-join his team. Fitzpatrick appeared in 16 games in 2021, finishing with a career-high 124 tackles (84 solo) to go along with two interceptions and seven passes defensed. He also added one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. Without a doubt, as long as the 25-year-old stays healthy, he should remain a top option for managers in IDP formats.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin announced on Tuesday that safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (wrist) was placed on the Non-Football Injury list with a wrist injury he suffered while on vacation. Tomlin doesn't anticipate Fitzpatrick's injury being a long-term problem. The 25-year-old should join the team at practice sooner than later, and he'll once again be a top option for fantasy managers in IDP leagues at defensive back. Fitzpatrick finished the 2021 season as the No. 5 fantasy DB after notching a career-high 124 tackles (84 solo), two interceptions, seven passes defensed, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 16 starts. The four-time Pro Bowler and All-Pro is one of the best all-around safeties in the NFL.
