Chase Claypool Working To Be More Versatile
3 years agoPittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool said that he's trying to be more versatile this year and is working at multiple positions during organized team activities. Claypool was mostly boxed into a limited role in his first two years in the NFL, catching 121 passes for 1,733 yards and 11 touchdowns on 214 targets in 31 games (19 starts). The 23-year-old took a step backward last year with 59 catches on 105 targets for 860 yards and only two touchdowns after he scored nine times in his rookie campaign. It was especially frustrating for fantasy managers with JuJu Smith-Schuster out for most of the year with an injury. Claypool could become a bit more intriguing if he moves around the field more, but fantasy managers shouldn't have too high of expectations with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger now retired.
