Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Breshad Perriman (knee) will not play on Thursday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He has not played all season and did not practice this week.
Breshad Perriman injury update: Receiver still without fantasy value right now

Perriman gave the team a little scare on Sunday. He was warming up, but he came up lame. Although, coach John Harbaugh said he was not aware of the injury. Regardless, it sounds like the first-round pick is not going to be ready to go any time soon.
Receiver Steve Smith has set the NFL on fire. In his last two weeks, he's seen 33 targets, catching 23 of them for 336 yards and two scores. He'll get a ton of looks this week against a very vulnerable Steelers secondary. Besides him, there really isn't a reliable receiver. Tight end Maxx Williams should be a big-time target with Crockett Gillmore out on Thursday.
Fantasy impact: Perriman isn’t a great player to stash right now unless it’s Dynasty. Fantasy owners will want to start Smith and probably Williams.
