Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Breshad Perriman has been ruled out for Thursday night's game vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Breshad Perriman ‘out indefinitely’ per report, fantasy value at all-time low

Perriman had returned to practice at a limited capacity since injuring his knee on the first day of training camp but experienced a setback during pregame warmups vs. the Cincinnati Bengals, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. As a result, the Ravens will have to endure another game, and likely multiple games, without the man they drafted to bookend Steve Smith, Sr.
Fantasy impact: With Perriman sidelined, Kamar Aiken will once again get the start but he isn't expected to be much of a factor in the passing game. It will remain the Smith Show until a pass catcher can prove himself reliable, and with Crockett Gillmore also sidelined, expect Smith to soak up targets once again.
Perriman remains a stash in keeper and dynasty leagues, although his value in redraft leagues dwindles with each week he misses. It’s only justifiable to keep him rostered in deep leagues and those with IR designations.
