  Patriots | DeMarcus Ayers to Patriots    Mon Sep 4, 09:30 AM

Free-agent WR DeMarcus Ayers (Steelers) was added to the New England Patriots' practice squad Monday, Sept. 4.

Footballguys view: Any WR on the Patriots squad will always be of interest to fantasy owners. Ayers is a smaller (190 pounds), quicker receiver who could make plays on underneath routes. Fantasy owners in super deep dynasty leagues should take note just in case.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR DeMarcus Ayers (groin) underwent core muscle surgery on both sides of his legs Tuesday, Feb. 7.

Footballguys view: Ayers can be a return specialist for the Steelers when healthy. From a fantasy perspective, his value is virtually non-existent...even in super deep dynasty leagues.

  Steelers | Pittsburgh adds five to practice squad    Sun Sep 4, 03:25 PM

Free-agent RB Brandon Brown-Dukes (Steelers), RB Cameron Stingily (Steelers), WR DeMarcus Ayers (Steelers), WR Cobi Hamilton (Steelers) and TE Rashaun Allen (Saints) were signed to the Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad Sunday, Sept. 4.

Footballguys view: Ayers is an interesting slot receiver to keep an eye on. He gets off the line quickly and can gain separation in his routes with ease. The rookie from Houston needs to learn how to beat physical coverage, and he needs improved concentration as a pass-catcher.
