Rhattigan lands on the Steelers active roster for Week 2, stepping in for a defense thin at multiple spots as Malik Harrison goes to IR. With injuries to Porter Jr, Harmon and Elliott, Pittsburgh adds veteran depth while James Pierre returns on game day escalation. The reunion angle adds edge as Rhattigan faces Seattle, his first NFL stop before a long arc through the league.

Pittsburgh shuffled its Week 2 depth ahead of Seattle, signing Jabrill Peppers and James Pierre while placing Malik Harrison and Skyler Thompson on injured reserve. Logan Woodside was added to the practice squad to back up the room with Will Howard still on IR, leaving the Steelers with two QBs on the 53-man roster. The move also leaves DeShon Elliott sidelined, potentially forcing Cole Holcomb into a larger inside linebacker role as the DB tally swells to 10. A tougher Seahawks test looms, and Pittsburgh will lean on depth and special teams to fuel its game plan.

Fantasy angles hinge on Peppers’ versatility and Woodside’s veteran presence. Peppers could contribute in coverage and run support, while Woodside provides a steady backstop for the QB room. With Elliott out and the linebacking corps shifting, opportunistic plays in this defensive-heavy game could juice IDP scoring and offer speculative DFS value in deeper formats.
