Pittsburgh Steelers impending free-agent QB Russell Wilson is expected to be an option for the New York Giants if he hits the free-agent market, according to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler.
Huddle Up: Wilson met with the Giants last offseason but decided to sign with the Steelers, so they make have another chance to sign Wilson. He posted solid numbers with the Steelers but would not be more than a No. 2 fantasy quarterback if he joins the Giants.

Pittsburgh Steelers impending free-agent QB Justin Fields is expected to receive interest from several teams if he hits the free-agent market. The Steelers are still open to re-signing Fields.
Huddle Up: Fields was productive in his limited playing time this season and should have a good chance to find a starting job next season. He can be at least a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in leagues and could be a low-end No. 1 quarterback in deeper leagues depending on his situation.

Pittsburgh Steelers impending free-agent RB Najee Harris did not have his fifth-year team option picked up by the team last offseason, but Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette believes there is "a strong possibility" that he could be signed to a new contract before the start of free agency on March 12.
Huddle Up: As Dulac points out, there have been 51 1,000-yard rushers since Harris was drafted in 2021. Harris is the only one of the group who has reached the milestone mark in all four years, which speaks to his productivity, durability and dependability. With the upcoming draft class expected to be very good at the running back position, Harris might be wise to sign a deal with the team as close to the start of free agency as possible. If he stays put, he figures to remain a low-end RB2 option in fantasy.

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren is expected to receive a tender offer as a restricted free agent, according to sources Friday, Feb. 4.
Huddle Up: It would be no surprise for Warren to be tendered considered his cost vs. production. With Najee Harris potentially leaving in free agency, Warren could be headed toward a bigger role in 2025. He's a high-end RB3 with the chance to bump into the RB2 tier if Harris moves on.

Pittsburgh Steelers impending free-agent QB Russell Wilson said he is focusing on staying with the Steelers and is not looking at other teams.
Huddle Up: The Steelers are looking to keep one of their quarterbacks, but it is not known if it will be Wilson or Justin Fields. Wilson likely will be the starting quarterback for a team next season but will be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson and QB Justin Fields will both be free agents this offseason, but team president Art Rooney II said he hopes the team will be able to re-sign one of the quarterbacks. Rooney said the team probably will not be able to sign both quarterbacks.
Huddle Up: Both Wilson and Fields had some success as the starting quarterback for the Steelers, but neither quarterback became the obvious starting option for next season. Fantasy players can monitor the situation during the offseason, but neither quarterback is more than a No. 2 fantasy quarterback.

Pittsburgh Steelers impending free-agent QB Russell Wilson said that contract extension discussions with the team have already gotten underway, during an appearance on ESPN's "Pat McAfee Show" Wednesday, Jan. 22.
Huddle Up: Regardless of where Wilson lands this offseason, the 36-year-old veteran should be viewed as no better than a midrange QB2 option for 2025 fantasy leagues.

Impending free-agent QB Russell Wilson (Steelers) might be of interest as a stop-gap quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders, according to a source. Per the source, Wilson and new head coach Pete Carroll have "mended fences" from their time together with the Seattle Seahawks.
Huddle Up: While Wilson is clearly on the back nine of his career, he would likely give the franchise its best option at quarterback since at least Derek Carr while also buying the team some time to land a blue-chip prospect. The Raiders may still have their work cut out for them despite Carroll's familiarity with Wilson as the quarterback has gushed about his respect for Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin. Wilson would be no better than a middling fantasy QB2 at either place.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson indicated after the AFC wild-card loss to the Baltimore Ravens that he is hopeful of returning in 2025. "It's been on the best years for me, personally, to be a Pittsburgh Steeler," Wilson said Sunday, Jan. 12. "Obviously, I hope I'm here."
Huddle Up: Wilson showed that he still has a little left in the tank, and the team will have to figure out what the future is at the position with Justin Fields also on an expiring contract. Wilson was mostly a QB2 for fantasy purposes in 2024, and that is likely where he'll be situated in 2025, too, wherever he ends up.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Mike Williams caught his only target for 25 yards in a 19-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 18.
Huddle Up: Williams continues to be an afterthought in the Pittsburgh offense. He has nine total catches in nine games since joining the Steelers.

Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth caught eight of his 11 targets for a team-high 85 yards and a touchdown in a 19-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 18.
Huddle Up: Freiermuth has 15 receptions over the last two games, and he has been one of the bright spots during Pittsburgh's recent skid. He has four touchdowns in his last six games, and he has reached 60 yards three times in that span.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens had one catch on six targets and didn't gain a yard in a 19-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 18.
Huddle Up: Pickens has four catches in two game since returning from injury, and the Pittsburgh offense desperately need Pickens and Russell Wilson to recapture their big-play connection. Pickens will be a high-risk, high-reward option in playoff contests.

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris (head) was evaluated for a concussion during the Week 18 game against the Cincinnati Bengals, but he returned and finished with 12 carries for 36 yards and four catches for 20 yards in a 19-17 loss.
Huddle Up: Harris snuck over 1,000 yards for the year, but his production has been more volume based than anything. He is a safe bet for touches entering the postseason, but with the Steelers struggling, Harris may not be around more than one round.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson completed 17 of his 31 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown in a 19-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 18. He also rushed for 16 yards.
Huddle Up: Wilson has been putting up some pedestrain numbers down the stretch, and the Steelers will enter the playoffs on a four-game losing streak. He will be hard to trust in playoff contests.

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (ribs) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 2, and is not on the injury report for Week 18.
Huddle Up: Warren should continue to share playing time with Najee Harris during the regular season finale and can be a flex option in most fantasy leagues.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson (non-injury) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 2, and is not on the injury report for Week 18.
Huddle Up: The Steelers still do not have a set seed in the playoffs, so Wilson probably will play most of the Week 18 game. He has struggled over the last few weeks and is only a possible option in some two-quarterback leagues.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson (rest) was limited in practice on Tuesday, Dec. 31.
Huddle Up: Fantasy managers still vying for a championship in Week 18 can probably expect the Steelers to play their starters for as long as they need to, as it is likely they would prefer to hold onto the No. 5 seed and play the Houston Texans as opposed to drop to No. 6 and likely meet the Baltimore Ravens for a third time (assuming the Ravens can dispatch of a three-win Cleveland Browns team). Wilson threw for 414 yards and three touchdowns against this week's opponent - the Cincinnati Bengals - a few weeks ago and could find himself in the low-end QB1 conversation this week given all of the lineup gymnastics teams usually engage in for Week 18.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Calvin Austin was targeted five times and finished with 31 yards on four receptions vs. the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17 on Wednesday, Dec. 25.
Huddle Up: Austin had shown some life in recent weeks but wasn't productive with the return of George Pickens. The Steelers have at least locked down a postseason spot, so who knows what to expect from aspect of resting players next week. While Austin himself isn't likely to rest, QB Russell Wilson would be first in line for a break, and Pickens isn't far behind.

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris ran 13 times for 74 yards and landed two of four targets for seven yards vs. the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17 on Wednesday, Dec. 25.
Huddle Up: Logging 83 total yards and no scores just doesn't get the job done for championship fantasy action, and hopefully you didn't chance a lineup spot on him. Harris and Co. could be in position to rest in Week 18 with a postseason berth locked up, so revisit this one once the Baltimore Week 17 game concludes to have a better idea if seeding matters. Harris would be a fringe RB2 if Pittsburgh starts everyone.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens caught three passes for 50 yards vs. the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17 on Wednesday, Dec. 25. He was targeted seven times.
Huddle Up: The Steelers have locked themselves into a playoff spot, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see key players get rested in what could be an effectively meaningless game. More to come, but at least he has a decent enough matchup profile vs. Cincinnati should he go.

Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth reeled in seven of eight looks for a team-high 60 yards vs. the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17 on Wednesday, Dec. 25. He also lost a fumble.
Huddle Up: Freiermuth owners could have used that last week! Spilled milk aside, he has an awesome matchup profile next week against Cincinnati, and we don't even know yet if Pittsburgh will rest starters based on having a playoff berth locked up.

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren rushed 11 times for 71 yards and caught five of six targets for 41 yards vs. the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17 on Wednesday, Dec. 25.
Huddle Up: Next week, Pittsburgh hosts Cincinnati, but a playoff berth is locked up, so we certainly could see the Steelers rest multiple players. Should Warren play, he has RB2/flex appeal.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson went 23 of 37 for 205 yards, no touchdown passes, and an interception vs. the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17 on Wednesday, Dec. 25. He rushed six times for 55 yards and a touchdown but was sacked five times.
Huddle Up: It was a long day at the office for Wilson as his offensive line did him no favors. The Steelers are locked into the playoffs and host Cincinnati next week, so it's TBD whether we see Wilson on the field. He's a fringe QB1 in the event he plays.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens (hamstring) practiced in full all week and has been removed from the injury report for Week 17 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Huddle Up: Pickens missed three games at the most critical time of the year for fantasy managers, but his return is a big boost for the Steelers and managers who were able to advance to their league championship games without him. Pittsburgh went 1-2 and averaged 19 points during his absence. Pickens could push for 10 or more targets and should be considered a strong WR2 option on Christmas Day.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Mike Williams (non-injury) fully participated in practice Monday, Dec. 23. The Steelers did not hold a practice Monday, so this is an estimation.
Huddle Up: Williams has received a bigger role over the last few weeks with George Pickens sidelined, but it is not known if he will see less targets with Pickens expected back. Fantasy players likely have better options available and can keep Williams on the bench.
