News

  • Logs five snaps in loss

    Switzer was only present for five snaps on special teams in Sunday's loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Switzer didn't see any snaps on offense Sunday after seeing 46 snaps in Week 1 and 13 snaps in Week 2. It's unclear why Switzer's role has decreased so harshly, although it seems likely that the absence of Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) is at least partially to blame.

  • Lone catch gains zero yards

    Switzer hauled in one of four targets for zero yards in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: After a respectable season opener of six catches for 29 yards, Switzer regressed harshly. Part of his struggles were definitely due to Mason Rudolph taking over for Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) halfway through the game. He'll now have a full week to build chemistry with Rudolph, who will be the Steelers' starter the rest of the way.

  • Six catches in loss

    Switzer had six receptions for 29 yards in Pittsburgh's 33-3 loss to New England on Sunday.

    Analysis: On a night when the Steelers couldn't do much of anything on offense, Switzer showed he can be a contributor. Although his total receiving yardage wasn't much, he hauled in all six of his targets, a notable accomplishment considering Ben Roethlisberger completed just 57 percent of his passes. He also looked good on special teams, averaging 21.5 yards on kick returns. Still, it is difficult for fantasy owners to insert Switzer into their starting lineups in Week 2 against Seattle.

  • Held to one catch

    Switzer caught his only target for a five-yard gain in Saturday's preseason win over the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Despite moving past the quad injury that bothered him at the start of training camp, Switzer has caught just one pass on 37 snaps in two exhibition contests, getting most of his playing time with the second-string offense. Mark Kaboly of the Athletic believes Switzer remains on track for a roster spot, with a good chance to see more snaps on the starting offense when Ben Roethlisberger makes his lone preseason appearance Thursday in Carolina. There's potential for Switzer or Eli Rogers to see…read more

  • Leaves practice Wednesday

    Switzer exited Wednesday's practice with a quadriceps injury, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: The severity of the injury isn't clear, but Switzer can't afford an extended absence with his roster status on shaky ground heading into the regular season. Switzer helped himself by impressing the coaching staff during offseason work, but he'll still face stiff competition for targets out of the slot from Eli Rogers in training camp and the preseason. There could be a path for both players to make the roster if the other depth options behind JuJu Smith-Schuster, Donte Moncrief (finger), James…read more

  • Shines during OTAs

    Switzer was impressive during spring practices while competing with Eli Rogers for slot work, Mark Kaboly of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The competition between Rogers and Switzer could lead to a role with regular targets if the Steelers primarily use JuJu Smith-Schuster outside. That calculation likely depends on a number of factors, including the team's confidence in Donte Moncrief, James Washington and/or Diontae Johnson -- a trio competing for snaps outside. In any case, Switzer has a good shot to earn a spot on the 53-man roster, with his ability to return punts and kickoffs potentially creating a role even if he ultimately…read more

  • Ready for voluntary workouts

    Switzer (ankle) is taking part in voluntary workouts this spring, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: There don't appear to be any lasting effects from the ankle surgery Switzer reportedly underwent in January, which bodes well for his ability to simply focus on his craft during his first full offseason in Pittsburgh. While Switzer currently seems to have an uphill battle towards gaining a fantasy-relevant receiving role on a roster that also includes JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Washington, Donte Moncrief and Eli Rogers, the North Carolina product is the leading favorite to handle return duties…read more

  • Surgery on tap

    Switzer is scheduled to undergo surgery on his right ankle later this week, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

    Analysis: Switzer apparently injured his ankle in the week of practice prior to Pittsburgh's Dec. 16 victory over New England. While the receiver didn't miss any time as a result, it now seems Switzer simply delayed the procedure until the offseason. While it's not clear how long it may take him to recover, there hasn't been any news to suggest Switzer is in danger of missing the openings days of OTAs in late April.

  • Substantial growth over last season

    Switzer caught one of his three targets for two yards during Sunday's 16-13 win over Cincinnati.

    Analysis: The second-year receiver played in all 16 games again this season, finishing with 36 catches (on 44 targets) for 253 yards and one touchdown. This was a huge jump from last season, when Switzer totaled 41 yards on six receptions. He also ran six times for 21 yards and added 862 yards to finish among the top 10 in the league in kickoff and punt returns. Switzer has two years remaining on his current contract with Pittsburgh.

  • Still playing limited role

    Switzer caught all three of his targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 31-28 loss to New Orleans.

    Analysis: Thirty-four of Ben Roethlisberger's 50 passes went to Antonio Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster, curbing the production of just about everyone else on the team. Switzer may see an uptick in Week 17 against a porous Cincinnati pass defense ranked 30th in the league, but probably not enough to merit consideration in fantasy lineups. In the last game against the Bengals seven different Steelers caught a pass -- eight if you include a one-yard loss Ben Roethlisberger caught from himself on a pass…read more

  • Minimal contribution in win

    Switzer caught both of his targets for nine yards and ran once for three yards during Sunday's 17-10 win over New England.

    Analysis: Dinged the past few weeks (concussion, ankle), Switzer was deemed fit for duty but only had three offensive touches, with none in the second half. Week 16 presents an attractive matchup against the Saints -- who allow the most fantasy points per game to wide receivers (29.9) -- but the Steelers have too many options that are better than Switzer.

  • Active versus Patriots

    Switzer (ankle) will play in Sunday's game versus the Patriots.

    Analysis: Switzer avoids missing the first game of his NFL career and will slot in as the No. 3 wideout on Pittsburgh's offense. The second-year pro has hauled in 17 passes for 157 yards in the last six games but hasn't found the end zone. If the Steelers get into a shootout, his opportunities will rise, but he's a touchdown-dependent fantasy option.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Switzer has an ankle injury and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Switzer was added to the injury report Friday as a limited participant, so the specifics of his injury remain unclear. James Washington would likely step in as the Steelers' No. 3 wide receiver should Switzer be held out of Sunday's game.

  • Not a factor in loss

    Switzer caught his lone target for one yard during Sunday's 24-21 loss to Oakland.

    Analysis: Although cleared to play after suffering a concussion Week 13, Switzer was a bust despite facing an awful Oakland defense. He continues to make the most of his targets -- catching an impressive 83.3 percent of the balls thrown to him -- best among Pittsburgh wide receivers this season. However, he just isn't seeing enough targets to merit fantasy consideration and has a difficult Week 15 game against New England, which is sixth best in the league against wide receivers in catch percentage (60…read more

  • Ready for Sunday

    Switzer (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Raiders, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The news confirms that Switzer cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, which always seemed likely to happen before the weekend after he practiced fully Wednesday. The second-year player should see most of his snaps in the slot this week as part of the Steelers' receiver rotation while also returning both punts and kickoffs. Switzer has held a fairly consistent supporting role in the passing game with at least two receptions in five straight weeks, though he's gained more than 20 yards…read more

  • Full participant Wednesday

    Switzer (concussion) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

    Analysis: Switzer entered the concussion protocol following Sunday's loss to the Chargers but he appears to be making quick progress. The full listing at Wednesday's practice means that Switzer has been cleared to absorb conduct, though he needs to pass final testing from an independent neurologist before he's removed from the protocol. That seems likely to happen ahead of the Steelers' Week 14 game in Oakland.

  • Lands in concussion protocol

    Switzer is in the concussion protocol, Chris Adamski of TribLive.com reports.

    Analysis: Switzer was forced out of Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Chargers in the fourth quarter, finishing with two catches for nine yards on two targets. With fellow wideout Justin Hunter (shoulder) also making an early exit, the Steelers may need to bring James Washington back into the game plan for Week 14 in Oakland. The rookie second-round pick was a healthy scratch for the Week 13 loss.

  • Regresses as expected

    Switzer caught both his targets for nine yards during Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Chargers. He also suffered a head injury in the contest.

    Analysis: This was a step backwards for Switzer following his six catches for 67 yards in Week 13, and it only got worse when he was taken to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion after taking a vicious hit by linebacker Jatavis Brown in the fourth quarter. If Switzer is unable to play in Week 14 against Oakland, the Steelers may have to use rookie Jaylen Samuels -- who muffed his only opportunity -- on kick returns.

  • Exits with possible concussion

    Switzer exited Sunday's game against the Steelers to be evaluated for a concussion.

    Analysis: Switzer exited the game in the fourth quarter after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit from linebacker Jatavis Brown. He'll have a full week to progress through the league's concussion protocol in advance of the Steelers' Week 14 matchup with the Raiders.

  • Career-high receiving yards

    Switzer caught six of eight targets for 67 yards and ran once for four yards during Sunday's 24-17 loss to Denver.

    Analysis: Arguably his best game as a receiver, the usually reliable return man struggled on special teams, with muffed balls on consecutive punt returns. He managed to recover one, with the other going out of bounds to avoid serious damage, although both possessions ultimately ended in turnovers. Switzer has seen a spike in targets over the past four games but will face a difficult challenge in Week 13 against the Chargers, who have yielded the seventh-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season.

  • Three catches in win

    Switzer caught all three of his targets for 28 yards during Pittsburgh's 20-16 win against Jacksonville.

    Analysis: The Pittsburgh offense was held in check for most of the game, and Switzer did not see his first target until there was 2:04 remaining in the third quarter. Still, his performance outpaced his season average of two catches for 13 yards per game heading into the contest, and he now has 21 receptions for 147 yards and one touchdown on the season.

  • Two catches in win

    Switzer caught both his targets for 31 yards during Thursday's 52-21 win over Carolina.

    Analysis: The speedy return man was one of nine players to have a reception on a night when the Pittsburgh offense could do no wrong, with Ben Roethlisberger completing 22 of 25 passes for 328 yards and five touchdowns for a perfect quarterback rating of 158.3. Switzer has caught five passes for 52 yards in the past two games, but Pittsburgh faces a tough Jacksonville defense in Week 11.

  • Practices in full

    Switzer (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Switzer logged two limited practice sessions to begin the week, but his full participation Wednesday puts him on track to play Thursday against the Panthers. The 24-year-old ranked a distant fourth among Pittsburgh wideouts in snaps (13) in the Week 9 win over the Ravens, with all of Antonio Brown (81), Juju Smith-Schuster (77) and rookie James Washington (70) slotting ahead of him. Another small role on offense likely awaits Switzer against Carolina.

  • Limited for second straight day

    Switzer was listed as limited participant in Tuesday's practice due to an ankle injury, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Switzer received the same listing Monday, but the fact that he was involved in any capacity this early in the week suggests he's on track to play Thursday against the Panthers. The shifty slot man caught three of four targets for 21 yards in the Week 9 win over the Ravens, but he logged just 13 offensive snaps compared to rookie James Washington's 70. For now, it appears Switzer is the fourth man on the receiver depth chart behind Antonio Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Washington.

  • Three receptions in Week 9 win

    Switzer caught three of four targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 23-16 win over Baltimore.

    Analysis: With Justin Hunter ruled out (coach's decision) before kickoff, Switzer turned in his best performance since Week 4, also against Baltimore. His first two catches came on consecutive plays just before halftime, and he only saw one second-half target. He just isn't involved enough in the offense to justify his taking a fantasy roster spot anytime soon.
