Sammie Coates is active for the Steelers, fantasy owners are taking notice

Wide receiver Sammie Coates will play for the Pittsburgh Steelers despite dealing with a fractured finger. The speedster will play in Week 6 against the Miami Dolphins, according to ESPN senior NFL writer Jeremy Fowler. Playing opposite superstar receiver Antonio Brown, any receiver will see his fair share of opportunities. Sammie Coates is no different. As a legitimate home run threat whenever he is on the field, Coates’ role will increase on the outside when he faces the Dolphins’ secondary. Given the injury to his hand and finger, as a wide receiver there will always be concerns with catching and holding on to the football.

Fantasy Outlook: Sammie Coates will play for the Pittsburgh Steelers Week 6 with a fractured finger. The speedster will see multiple opportunities to make an impact for fantasy owners. As a solid option at WR2 or Flex, owners are hoping for a big game from Coates against the Miami Dolphins’ defense.
