Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens (hamstring) is considered doubtful for Week 15, head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters on Tuesday, Dec. 10.
Huddle Up: Tomlin basically confirmed reports that Pickens won't suit up in Week 15. That should mean more work for Calvin Austin, Mike Williams and Van Jefferson, but none of the three are trustworthy lineup options.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens (hamstring) is expected to miss his second consecutive game in Week 15 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Pickens suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain in practice last week, missing Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns.
Huddle Up: If Pickens is out yet again, Calvin Austin, Van Jefferson, Scotty Miller and Mike Williams will likely be the top four receivers for Russell Wilson, with Williams having a little fantasy upside. Jefferson also scored in Week 14, and could be a sleeper in leagues leagues.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Mike Williams had three receptions for 36 yards against the Cleveland Browns in Week 14. He was targeted four times.
Huddle Up: Williams logged his first receptions since his Steelers debut back on Nov. 10, doubtless a byproduct of George Pickens (hamstring) being inactive. It was still good to see him more involved in the offense, though he's not close to fantasy relevance at this stage.

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren carried the ball nine times for 47 yards against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, Dec. 8. He added two receptions (on a team-high five targets) for 25 yards.
Huddle Up: With George Pickens (hamstring) inactive, the Steelers played a very conservative style of offense, which included Warren leading the team in targets. While it only led to two catches, the No. 2 back ended his day with 72 yards, which gives him five straight games of more than 60. Warren has developed into a reliable flex option.

Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth caught all three of his targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in a 27-14 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 14.
Huddle Up: Freiermuth led the team in receiving with George Pickens out with an injury, and over his past three games, the tight end is averaging 58.3 yards per game. If you need tight end help, you may want to try to ride Freiermuth's recent hot stretch.
Posted 12/09/2024 1:48 am GMT
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris rushed 16 times for 53 yards and a touchdown in a 27-14 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 14.
Huddle Up: Harris didn't have any explosive plays, but he led the team in carries and rushing yards, and he has logged at least 16 carries in seven straight games. His reliable workload gives Harris a safe floor.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens (hamstring) is not active for Week 14's game versus the Cleveland Browns.
Huddle Up: Pickens had been added to the injury report with a questionable designation Friday, Dec. 6, because of a hamstring injury. As a result of his absence this afternoon, WRs Calvin Austin and Van Jefferson and TE Pat Freiermuth could see additional targets.
Posted 12/06/2024 8:29 pm GMT
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Calvin Austin (concussion) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 6, and is not on the injury report for Week 14.
Huddle Up: Austin appears to be on track to play as long as he is cleared to play by the doctors. He will see a handful of targets if active and could be a possible flex option in deeper leagues.
Posted 12/06/2024 8:26 pm GMT
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Mike Williams (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 6, and is not on the injury report for Week 14.
Huddle Up: Williams has not been involved in the passing game much after his trade to the Steelers but could have a good role this week if George Pickens is not able to play. He can be a possible flex option in leagues if Pickens is not available.
Posted 12/06/2024 8:25 pm GMT
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 6, and is not on the injury report for Week 14.
Huddle Up: Harris will continue to receive most of the work at running back this week and should be involved in the passing game in addition to the running game. He can be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 12/06/2024 8:22 pm GMT
Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens (hamstring) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 6, and is listed as questionable for Week 14.
Huddle Up: Pickens was added to the injury report Friday, so he likely will be a game-time decision. He has played very well since Russell Wilson took over as the starting quarterback and is a weekly starting option in all leagues if he is able to play.
Posted 12/05/2024 8:49 pm GMT
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Calvin Austin (concussion) fully participated in practice Thursday, Dec. 5.
Huddle Up: Austin appears to have a good chance to play in Week 14 as long as he passes his concussion tests. He has caught a touchdown in each of the last two games and can be a possible flex option in deeper leagues if he plays.
Posted 12/05/2024 8:48 pm GMT
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris (non-injury) fully participated in practice Thursday, Dec. 5.
Huddle Up: Harris is coming off a productive Week 13 performance and has received at least 16 carries in each of the last six games. He should see a similar workload this week and can be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 12/04/2024 9:03 pm GMT
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Calvin Austin (concussion) was limited during practice Wednesday, Dec. 4.
Huddle Up: Austin needs to pass his concussion tests before he can play again, so fantasy players will need to check on his status later in the week. He has caught a touchdown in each of his last two games and can be a possible flex option in deeper leagues if he is able to play.
Posted 12/04/2024 8:54 pm GMT
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 4.
Huddle Up: Harris will return to practice later in the week and should receive his normal workload in Week 14. He struggled against the Cleveland Browns a few weeks ago but should still be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 12/03/2024 7:27 pm GMT
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Mike Williams has not been a significant part of the offense since he was acquired from the New York Jets on Nov. 5, but head coach Mike Tomlin emphasized that it is "a matter of time" before Williams becomes more involved.
Huddle Up: Williams will probably make a couple of splash plays for the Steelers between now and the end of the season, but he hasn't logged more than 25 plays in any game since his arrival. Until that number jumps into the 40s, it will make him more of a volatile fantasy option than he usually is. Managers can probably move on from him, as it seems unlikely he will be fully integrated into the offense before the end of the fantasy season.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Mike Williams was not targeted during the team's Week 13 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. It marks the third straight week he's been targeted zero times.
Huddle Up: If you've been holding onto Williams with the idea that he'll deliver some value down the stretch, that seems like a long shot. Even with Calvin Austin being knocked from the game with an injury, Williams wasn't one of the 10 players that Russell Wilson threw to on Sunday. Take the hint.
Posted 12/01/2024 10:40 pm GMT
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Calvin Austin (concussion) caught two passes for 29 yards and one touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13 before leaving the game because of a concussion. He was targeted two times during the game.
Huddle Up: Austin has caught three touchdowns in his last five games but may not be available for the Week 14 game if he does not pass his concussion tests. He could be a possible flex option in some leagues if he is able play next week.
Posted 12/01/2024 10:34 pm GMT
Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth caught six passes for 68 yards and one touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13. He was targeted seven times during the game.
Huddle Up: Freiermuth posted season highs in both receptions and receiving yards this week against the Bengals. He had a decent outing last time he played the Cleveland Browns and could be a low-end No. 1 tight end in some deeper leagues next week.
Posted 12/01/2024 10:30 pm GMT
Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens caught three passes for 74 yards and one touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13. He was targeted six times during the game.
Huddle Up: Pickens has posted at least 70 yards in five of the last six games and has three touchdowns during that span. He will continue to be the main option in the passing game for the Steelers and should be a weekly starting option in all leagues.
Posted 12/01/2024 10:27 pm GMT
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren caught four passes for 55 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13. He also rushed for nine yards on three carries during the game.
Huddle Up: Warren has been more involved in the running game in previous games but was more of a factor in the passing game. He should see a decent amount of touches next week and could be a possible flex option in deeper leagues.
Posted 12/01/2024 10:24 pm GMT
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Cordarrelle Patterson rushed for 16 yards on three carries against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13. He also caught three passes for 37 yards during the game.
Posted 12/01/2024 10:17 pm GMT
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris rushed for 75 yards and one touchdown on 16 carries against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13. He also caught six passes for 54 yards during the game.
Huddle Up: Harris has received at least 16 carries in each of his last six games and has a rushing touchdown in four of his last seven games. He was held mostly in check against the Cleveland Browns earlier in the season but can still be at least a flex option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 12/01/2024 10:15 pm GMT
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson went 29-for-38 for 414 yards, three touchdowns and one interception against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13.
Huddle Up: Wilson has thrown at least two touchdowns in three of his seven games this season and posted a season high in passing yards against the Bengals. He had a solid outing against the Cleveland Browns a few weeks ago and will look to have more success against them next week. He could be a possible bye week replacement in some leagues with six teams not playing.
Posted 12/01/2024 8:16 pm GMT
Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Steelers WR Calvin Austin (head) has been ruled out of the Week 13 game because of his head injury.
Huddle Up: Austin likely has a concussion and will need to pass the concussion tests before he is allowed to play again. Fantasy players should monitor his practice participation to see if he has a chance to play in Week 14.
Posted 11/22/2024 6:29 am GMT
Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth caught four passes for 59 yards in a Week 12 loss to the Cleveland Browns. He was targeted four times.
Huddle Up: This was Freiermuth's third game of over 50 yards this year. Unfortunately, he has twice as many games under 30. A promising player after his first two seasons, Freiermuth has done little the past two years to view him as more than a fringe TE2.
Posted 11/22/2024 6:16 am GMT
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Calvin Austin had three receptions (on three targets) for a team-high 79 yards and a touchdown versus the Cleveland Browns on Thursday, Nov. 21.
Huddle Up: Austin is one of those players that will pop up with a nice game now and then but offers little on a week in, week out basis. To that end, Austin has finished with 20 yards or less six times this year. He does have three games of 50-plus yards with a touchdown, though, so as a desperation lottery ticket you could do worse.
Posted 11/22/2024 6:00 am GMT
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Mike Williams was not targeted during the club's Week 12 loss to the Cleveland Browns. It was his second game in a row without a target.
Huddle Up: Williams' touchdown in his debut set unrealistic expectations, and as the team said, they're going to bring him along slowly. There'll be extra prep time before Week 13 for the Steelers, so perhaps we see more snaps for Williams, but he's not a playable commodity at this stage.
Posted 11/22/2024 5:46 am GMT
Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens had four receptions for 48 yards against the Cleveland Browns in Week 12. Pickens was targeted a game-high seven times.
Huddle Up: Suffice to say that Thursday night's wintry conditions didn't play to Pickens' strengths, though Russell Wilson did a better job than you'd think of pushing the ball downfield. Nonetheless, the 48 yards was well below the 91.5 yards per game he'd averaged since Wilson took over for Justin Fields, so fantasy owners can feel justified in their disappointment. Pickens will be back in Ohio in Week 13 for a matchup with the Bengals where should be playable as a WR2.
