Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace (knee) got in a full practice on Thursday and is probable to start against the Chargers on Sunday. Wallace has not missed a game this season and the knee issue is considered to be minor. With news that Ben Roethlisberger will return this week, Wallace could return to considerably higher production.
Mike Wallace injury update: Full practice, fantasy value on the rise
With Ben Roethlisberger back under center, Wallace could see an uptick in points. We break down the fantasy implications.
Christian Petersen
In his last three games, Wallace has caught just 10 passes for 79 yards without a touchdown while seeing fewer snaps in favor of Emmanuel Sanders.
Fantasy Take: There's a good chance that a large portion of Wallace's dip in production is due to working with Charlie Batch and Byron Leftwich. The return of Roethlisberger returns Wallace to WR2 status. He has 52 catches for 616 yards and six touchdowns on the year.
