Steelers Kicker Garrett Hartley placed on season-ending I.R.

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Garrett Hartley 's season is over. He has been placed on season-ending injured reserve after suffering a severe hamstring injury in the team's third preseason game. The Steelers traded a sixth-round pick for Josh Scobee , who will be the team's starting kicker moving forward barring injury or a meltdown.

Fantasy Analysis:

If losing one kicker wasn't bad enough the Steelers have now lost two. Fortunately for them Scobee isn't a horrible third option. He now has value just because he's in a high-powered offense. However, it's important to consider that Heinz Field is a tough place to kick.
