Yahoo Fantasy Football on Will Howard

Keeping Howard on active roster over practice squad is roster-building malpractice.

The source argues that keeping Will Howard on the active roster over practice squad is roster-building malpractice. The logical decision would be to cut him and sign him to the practice squad when no one claims him, as only 25-35 players total get claimed during roster cutdown (29 last year, 27 the year before, with a high of 44 since 2015 and low of 17 in 2020). Howard didn't do anything in exhibition play to warrant another team putting in a claim, and he would quickly have a home back on the Steelers' practice squad. If he gets a spot over contributors like Robert Spears-Jennings or Doneiko Slaughter, it represents poor roster construction.
