News: At one point in time, TE Weslye Saunders was talked about as a potential first-round draft pick, but ultimately, a foot injury and a troubled reputation caused him to go unselected in 2010. He landed in Pittsburgh and started six of 16 games this season, catching four passes for 29 yards and a touchdown. Now, he’s apparently landed in more trouble, as Scout.com is reporting that Saunders has been suspended for the first four games of 2012. At this point, it’s unclear why Saunders has been suspended, but he’s had character concerns going back to his days at the University of South Carolina. During his senior year, he was suspended before the season began and then was kicked off the squad completely in mid-September 2010.
Analysis: Saunders has minimal Fantasy value heading into 2012, but continue to monitor what develops. When healthy and active, he should not be owned in the majority of leagues.
News: Steelers TE Weslye Saunders recorded the first touchdown of his career in Week 12 against the Chiefs. He hauled in a 2-yard scoring strike from QB Ben Roethlisberger in the second quarter. It was his only catch in the 13-9 win.
