Chase Claypool A Full Participant Tuesday
3 years agoPittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool (toe) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice after being held out on Monday. This is a great sign for his availability on Thursday night, so fantasy managers will likely be able to roll out the sophomore in a good matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. Claypool had just three targets against the Ravens after seeing eight targets in Week 11 and nine in Week 12, so the big deep threat should be able to see an uptick in volume after last week. Still, he has found the endzone just one time this season, so he isn't a reliable fantasy option as Diontae Johnson has operated as the clear alpha receiver in the Pittsburgh offense. In deeper leagues, he may be worth a start as a WR3/FLEX option solely based on the plus matchup with the porous Minnesota pass defense.
