ERIC EBRON
Back to work Thursday Ebron (elbow) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Impact Considering that Ebron advanced to full participation one day after not handling any reps in practice, his absence from Wednesday's session was most likely maintenance-related. With his health seemingly intact, Ebron is on track to serve as Pittsburgh's top tight end Week 8, but his fantasy upside may be somewhat muted due to a matchup with a tough Ravens pass defense.

Can't practice Wednesday Ebron didn't practice Wednesday due to an elbow injury, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Impact Ebron is coming off a solid Week 7 game against the Titans, during which he recorded 50 yards on a season-high six receptions. As long as he's able to upgrade to at least limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday, Ebron should have a fair shot at suiting up Sunday in Baltimore. Wideouts JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) and Diontae Johnson (toe) were also held out of Wednesday's session.

Season-best six catches Ebron recorded six receptions on eight targets for 50 yards in Week 7 against the Titans.
Impact Despite the entirety of the Steelers' receiving corps being healthy to start the game, Ebron posted his highest reception and target total in a game this season. He fell just short of his second touchdown of the campaign when he was tackled at the two-yard line on the team's first offensive possession. Despite that disappointment, Ebron has commanded at least five targets in four of six games with Pittsburgh, giving him relatively strong volume for the position. He and the Steelers will take on Baltimore in Week 8.

Catches two passes in Week 6 Ebron brought in two of his four targets for nine yards in Sunday's 38-7 win over Cleveland.
Impact Ebron had logged 40-plus receiving yards in each of his previous three contests, with Sunday's effort marking a season-low yardage total for the tight end. Although the Steelers put up 38 points, the team wasn't forced to do much passing during the second half after jumping out to a sizable lead early on. Although he wasn't utilized much against Cleveland, Ebron has played a fairly steady role in the Steelers offense to begin the season, as he's now brought in 16 of his 22 targets for 165 yards and a touchdown through five contests.

Practices fully Ebron (hand) practiced fully Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Impact Ebron is thus good to go Sunday against the Browns. He's logged back-to-back five-catch efforts and should continue to see his share of targets in a solid matchup Sunday against a Cleveland squad that's allowed an average of 296.4 passing yards per game to date.

Misses practice with hand injury Ebron didn't practice Wednesday due to a hand injury.
Impact Ebron wasn't known to have been banged up coming out of his five-catch performance in Sunday's win over the Eagles, so the 27-year-old may just be getting some extra maintenance to begin Week 6. The tight end will have two more practices to upgrade to full participation before this weekend's game against the Browns.

Hauls in five passes Ebron caught five of his six targets for 43 yards while also losing a fumble in Sunday's 38-29 win over the Eagles.
Impact Ebron's fumble in the fourth quarter put a slight damper on an otherwise solid performance following the team's Week 4 bye. The 27-year-old has now been targeted at least five times in each of the Steelers' last three contests, while topping 40 yards on each of those occasions. Ebron, who was on the field for 58 of the team's 75 snaps on offense Sunday, should have another favorable matchup against the Browns this coming weekend.

Finds end zone Ebron caught four of six targets for 38 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 28-21 win over the Texans.
Impact Ebron finished second on the team in targets and provided one of the highlights of the day with a 10-yard touchdown catch over a defender in the second quarter. He received another look in the red zone and seemed to step up especially after Diontae Johnson (concussion) left the game. Ebron reportedly connected well with Ben Roethlisberger during training camp and will now look to build on his best performance of the young season next Sunday against the Titans.

Decent showing in win Ebron caught three of five targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Broncos.
Impact Ebron has emerged as Pittsburgh's top pass-catching tight end, outproducing Vance McDonald the first two games this season. He has a decent matchup against Houston in Week 3 but Ebron's fantasy value in most formats appears to be touchdown-dependent.

Inauspicious debut Ebron caught one pass for 18 yards in the Steelers' 26-16 win over the Giants on Monday.
Impact After weeks of debate over who would emerge as the No. 1 tight end for Pittsburgh, neither Ebron nor Vance McDonald were much of a factor all game. Just like McDonald, Ebron was only targeted twice, both coming before halftime. The Steelers have several pass-catching options, and as a result Ebron's fantasy value may be touchdown-dependent.
