The Pittsburgh Steelers' offseason has been marked by high-profile acquisitions aimed at enhancing their roster for the upcoming season. Among these notable additions are La'Mical Perine and Patrick Peterson, both of whom are expected to significantly impact the team's performance. Perine, known for his explosive running style, brings depth to the backfield, while Peterson's veteran presence in the secondary adds much-needed experience and skill.

The Steelers are targeting a return to playoff contention, and these strategic moves reflect a commitment to building a competitive team. Each player has potential fantasy implications, particularly if they can solidify their roles early in the season. Managers should keep a close eye on their performances during preseason games, as the Steelers look to maximize their talent on the field.

Bengals Offensive Coordinator Dan Pitcher has just declared that RB Chase Brown will be a key player in the team's offense this season. Following a breakout year where Brown ranked as the fantasy RB11 overall, his stock is on the rise, especially as he took over leading the backfield after injuries to other players. With a potent offense and a defense that struggled last season, Brown's role could be substantial, potentially making him a valuable asset for fantasy teams. However, with the return of Zack Moss and the addition of Samaje Perine, there may be competition for touches, but Brown remains the favorite to lead the backfield. He’s currently being drafted in the early-to-mid third round, and if he retains his role in the passing game, his value could further increase.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have made several roster changes as they prepare for their Week 9 bye. Outside linebacker Ade Ogundeji has been waived, while running back La'Mical Perine and cornerback Thomas Graham have had their contracts terminated.

Ogundeji had a brief stint on the active roster after being promoted from the practice squad but has now been released again. Perine, who joined the Steelers earlier in the season, and Graham, who struggled to secure a spot on the team, are also no longer with the organization.
