Michael Pittman Jr.: downgraded to out for Sunday at New England (foot)

THE FACT. Pittsburgh moved Michael Pittman Jr. from questionable to out on Saturday, Sept. 19, ahead of Sunday's trip to New England, per PFT's Mike Florio. The foot injury kept him limited Wednesday and off the field Thursday and Friday, according to the Steelers' official injury report.
THE VERDICT. Redraft: bench him or move him to IR-eligible slots; he is a zero this week. The Pittsburgh depth chart hands his role to rookie Germie Bernard, per PFT, while SI's Steelers site says DK Metcalf and Roman Wilson start outside. Metcalf stays a locked-in start with more targets available. Bernard is a deep-league add at 3% FAAB and a cheap DFS dart; Dynasty: hold Pittman, as SI reported no boot or limp after Friday's practice.
