Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth (knee) was diagnosed with a medial collateral sprain that will not require surgery Monday, Jan. 9.
Huddle Up: Although it means Freiermuth won't begin the offseason healthy, it does mean he should be able to train normally in about a month. Freiermuth seemed to be Kenny Pickett's most trusted target in 2022, which suggests he needs to be considered a top-eight tight end option - at worst - in fantasy drafts this spring and summer.

Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth (knee) suffered a knee injury during the Week 18 game and has been ruled out.
Huddle Up: It seems like Freiermuth may not be available if the Steelers advance to the playoffs. Fantasy players should keep an eye on the situation to determine the severity of the injury.

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris (rest) practiced in full for the second-straight day on Friday, Jan. 6, and was removed from the injury report for Week 18.
Huddle Up: Harris finally broke the century mark for the first time this season and found the end zone in Week 17. That doesn't erase what has been a very disappointing season overall, but his performance last week and a matchup with the Cleveland Browns' crummy run defense puts Harris on the higher end of the flex spectrum going into Week 18.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (hip) practiced in full for the second-straight day on Friday, Jan. 6, and carries no designation into Week 18.
Huddle Up: It has been a forgettable season for Johnson, who has still yet to find the end zone or tally 100 yards in any game. He's a middling flex option at best in PPR only going into Week 18.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (hip) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 5.
Huddle Up: Johnson has been targeted at least of the last six games but is coming off a disappointing Week 17 game. He should see a good amount of targets again this week and can be a No. 3 receiver or flex option in leagues.
Posted 1/05/2023 11:24 pm GMT
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris (non-injury) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 5.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (hip) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Jan. 4.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (hip) practiced in full for the second-straight day on Friday, Dec. 30, and was removed from the injury report for Week 17.
Huddle Up: Johnson owners entered the season with high-end WR1 dreams after a breakout year in 2021, but the Steelers wideout returned just flex value in PPR leagues after not scoring a single touchdown and dealing with shoddy quarterback play all season long. Better days could be ahead for Johnson if Kenny Pickett takes that next step in 2023, but for now the Toledo product remains a flex play.
Posted 12/30/2022 11:40 pm GMT
Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth (personal) was a full participant in practice for the second-straight day on Friday, Dec. 30, and was taken off the injury report.
Huddle Up: In the midst of a breakout year, Freiermuth has fully established himself as a TE1 in his second season, and has done so despite a rocky situation at quarterback, making it even more impressive. He's a locked-in starter for fantasy championships.
Posted 12/30/2022 12:29 am GMT

Posted 12/22/2022 1:33 am GMT
