TJ Watt Fantasy

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker TJ Watt (hamstring tightness) will miss the team's first practice on Friday, after being placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list. The designation comes after Watt completed the team's conditioning test, but neither he or coach Mike Tomlin expressed any serious concern over the injury. He'll be re-evaluated in the coming days before joining the team back on the practice field. Watt is a vital part of the team's defense that should be improved over last season, so hopefully he can get back on the field soon without issue.

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt, the younger brother of Texans All-Pro pass rusher J.J. Watt, had three sacks in Week 5 against the Falcons and continues to impress in his second season. The younger Watt is now tied with Bengals defensive tackle Geno Watkins for the NFL lead with six sacks on the year. He has now been named the AFC's Defensive Player of the Week twice this year and has totaled a healthy 28 tackles, a forced fumble and fumble recovery along with his six sacks. T.J. Watt has become a must-start in IDP leagues.

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie linebacker T.J. Watt has been impressing coaches during his first training camp with the team. The rookie is coming off a two-sack game in his first preseason action this past Friday and, according to linebackers coach Joey Porter, he has a good chance at opening the season as one of the team's starting outside linebackers. That would presumably push 39-year-old veteran James Harrison to a reserve role, although it was mentioned that Harrison will still play a big role with the team. Watt is shaping up as a top-10 linebacker in IDP rookie drafts.
