Makes 10 appearances in 2023
Fitzpatrick made 64 tackles (43 solo) and three pass breakups across 10 regular-season games in 2023.
ANALYSIS
Fitzpatrick missed seven total games in 2023 due to a combination of knee and hand injuries, but he managed to return to health in time for Pittsburgh's wild-card playoff loss to the Bills, a game in which he logged 10 tackles (five solo). In just 10 regular-season appearances, five of Fitzpatrick's games saw him achieve double-digit tackle totals. The 27-year-old remains one of the league's true standout safeties, with big-play potential to lend him serious fantasy upside as well. Fitzpatrick has three years remaining on his contract with the Steelers.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Returning to action Sunday
Fitzpatrick practiced fully all week following a three-game absence due to a knee injury and will make his return in Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Bills, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The star safety endured an injury-hampered regular season as he was limited to 10 games, his fewest since 2019. However, Fitzpatrick was his usual productive self when available, recording 64 tackles and three defensed passes in those contests. His return will coincide with the conclusion of fellow safety's Damontae Kazee's three-game suspension, giving Pittsburgh some key defensive reinforcements ahead of the matchup against Buffalo's potent offense.

2018
Fitzpatrick has proven to be a steal for the Steelers, averaging 100 tackles and four interceptions in his three full seasons with Pittsburgh after being acquired from Miami in 2019 for a draft pick that turned into Austin Jackson. His range and ballhawking has translated into five career touchdowns, including a 31-yard INT return in a Week 1 win against the Bengals. That big-play potential is the secret weapon in Fitzpatrick's fantasy arsenal, and the team's coaching continuity on defense should ensure his role remains unchanged as he heads into the first season of the four-year extension he signed last summer.
