Pittsburgh Steelers PK Garrett Hartley (hamstring) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Aug. 31.

Footballguys view: That's two Steelers kickers out for the year for those at home keeping track. The Steelers expected this, so they went out and acquired Josh Scobee on Monday. He'll now be the kicker for Pittsburgh, and he's fantasy relevant because of the high-powered Steelers offense.
