Steelers Activate T.J. Watt From COVID-19 List
3 years agoThe Pittsburgh Steelers activated linebacker T.J. Watt from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday, making him eligible to play in the Week 13 game against the Baltimore Ravens. The 27-year-old All-Pro tested positive for the virus at the beginning of the week, but he is vaccinated and was able to test negative twice before Sunday's game. Watt might not be 100% in terms of his conditioning after dealing with the virus, but Watt at less than 100% is still better than a lot of players in the league. The three-time Pro Bowler led the league with 15 sacks and 23 tackles for loss in 2020 and has 30 solo tackles, 13 tackles for loss, 20 QB hits, three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and 12.5 sacks in only nine games this year. Fire him back up in IDP leagues. His return makes Pittsburgh's defense a viable streaming option in fantasy, while his presence is bad news for the Ravens offense.
