Pittsburgh Steelers WR Roman Wilson (ankle) was limited during practice Wednesday, Sept. 18.

Huddle Up: Wilson has not made his NFL debut yet even though he has been limited during all practices since the regular season started. Fantasy players should wait to see him play in a few games before considering him for their lineup.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson (calf) was limited during practice Wednesday, Sept. 18.

Huddle Up: The Steelers are not rushing Wilson back from his injury because Justin Fields has won the first two games of the season. Wilson should be avoided until he takes over as the starting quarterback.

Najee Harris - RB

Posted 9/18/2024 7:52 pm GMT

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 18.

Huddle Up: Harris should be back on the field in the next day or two and should not be in danger of missing the Week 3 game. He is off to a decent start this season and can be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues if he is active for the game.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Justin Fields is being prepared to start in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Huddle Up: Fields is the QB28 after two weeks and really only has use in two-QB leagues.

George Pickens - WR

Posted 9/16/2024 3:30 am GMT

Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens registered two receptions for just 29 yards on four targets in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos.

Huddle Up: Pickens has yet to find the end zone, while totaling just 104 scrimmage yards in the first two games. Pickens was drafted as a low-end WR2 or high-end WR3, but he is producing more like a WR4 during the early going. Next up is a date with the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 3.

Pat Freiermuth - TE

Posted 9/16/2024 3:28 am GMT

Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth registered four receptions for a team-high 39 yards on four targets in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos.

Huddle Up: Freiermuth has four receptions in each of his first two games, but he is averaging just 33.0 receiving yards in the span. That's TE2 type production for fantasy managers. He'll try to do more in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Jaylen Warren - RB

Posted 9/16/2024 3:24 am GMT

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren was good for nine rushes for 42 yards in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos, while adding two receptions for 19 yards on his two targets.

Huddle Up: As long as Najee Harris is healthy, Warren's fantasy ceiling is rather limited. He has some value as an RB3 or flex fantasy option, but he has a ton of upside, and would be a must-start if Harris was ever shelved. The Steelers host the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 3.

Najee Harris - RB

Posted 9/16/2024 3:17 am GMT

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris rushed 17 times for 69 yards in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos, while posting a 5-yard catch on two targets.

Huddle Up: Harris has been very consistent, as he had 70 rushing yards last week with one catch and two targets. He remains a solid RB2 in most fantasy leagues heading into Week 3 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Posted 9/16/2024 3:09 am GMT

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Justin Fields completed 13-of-20 passes for 117 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos, while running eight times for 27 yards.

Huddle Up: Fields made a second straight start for the injured Russell Wilson, and the team won for the second time in those starts. That being said, he has been more valuable to his real team than to fantasy managers. He'll face the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 3 if Wilson cannot start, but we'll see what head coach Mike Tomlin decides to do if Wilson is healthy enough to go.

Posted 9/15/2024 7:11 pm GMT

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Roman Wilson (ankle) has been declared inactive for the Week 2 game.

Huddle Up: George Pickens is the only Steelers receiver that should be a fantasy option with Wilson still sidelined.

Posted 9/15/2024 7:01 pm GMT

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson (calf) has been declared inactive for the Week 2 game but will be the team's emergency third quarterback.

Huddle Up: Justin Fields will receive another start and was able to post decent numbers in the season opener. He can be a low-end No. 1 quarterback in some deeper leagues.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Justin Fields is expected to start the next two games as QB Russell Wilson (calf) continues to recover from calf tightness, per sources on Friday, Sept. 13.

Huddle Up: Fields posted pedestrian production in Week 1, with 156 passing yards, 57 rushing yards and no touchdowns. Until we see a fantasy-worthy performance out of him, Fields isn't a suggested starter.

Posted 9/13/2024 8:41 pm GMT

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Roman Wilson (ankle) was limited during practice Friday, Sept. 13, and is listed as questionable for Week 2.

Huddle Up: Wilson is still working his way back from an ankle injury he suffered during training camp. The team likely are being cautious with Wilson, so he may sit out another week. Fantasy players should avoid him until he can play in a game or two.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson (calf) is listed as questionable for Week 2 versus the Denver Broncos, but PennLive's Nick Farabaugh suggests that the starting quarterback will likely be Justin Fields again.

Huddle Up: We will find out Wilson's practice status for Friday in the next hour or two, but he has been limited for most of the last two weeks. The Steelers relied heavily on their defense and running game in a Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons and will likely do the same versus the Broncos regardless if Wilson or Fields is the starter. Fields' athleticism gives him a chance to be a low-end QB1 in such a scenario, while Wilson's upside is as a low-end QB2.

Posted 9/12/2024 9:34 pm GMT

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Roman Wilson (ankle) fully participated in practice Thursday, Sept. 12.

Huddle Up: Wilson appears to have a good chance to make his season debut this week, but fantasy players will know more in a few days. He will see a few targets if he is active but probably can be avoided in most fantasy leagues.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson (calf) said he believes he is close to returning to the lineup but said he will be smart with the injury.

Huddle Up: Wilson appears to be at least a week away from being cleared to play, so Justin Fields is on track for at least one more start. There is a chance that Wilson will take over the starting job when healthy but would only be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback. Fields can be considered a low-end No. 1 quarterback in deeper leagues if he starts.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Roman Wilson (ankle) was limited during practice Wednesday, Sept. 11.

Huddle Up: Wilson was limited last week as well but did not play in Week 1, so his status for Week 2 is uncertain. He probably will be eased into the offense once he is cleared to play and likely will not be a starting fantasy option early in the season.

Jaylen Warren - RB

Posted 9/10/2024 5:10 pm GMT

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (hamstring) is "healthy enough" to play right now, according to head coach Mike Tomlin on Tuesday, Sept. 10. However, Tomlin also suggested it would be a "slippery slope" to say Warren is fully healthy.

SOURCE: PennLive.com - Nick Farabaugh

Huddle Up: Najee Harris was given 21 touches in Week 1, while Cordarrelle Patterson and Warren managed four apiece. Following Tomlin's comments, it seems unlikely that distribution will change much in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos. Warren needs to be benched in fantasy until we see some signs of progress in that regard.

Posted 9/10/2024 4:49 pm GMT

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson (calf) is slated to be limited in practice Wednesday, Sept. 11, and the team is preparing as if QB Justin Fields will start in Week 2.

Huddle Up: Russ is a QB2 in fantasy whose name value probably weighs more than his output. Fields didn't do much to take the job in Week 1. If Wilson is your QB2, keep him stashed another week.

Posted 9/10/2024 4:45 pm GMT

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Justin Fields is being prepared to start Week 2, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.

Huddle Up: Fields was 17-for-23 for 156 yards, 0 TDs and 0 INTs, and he rushed 14 times for 57 yards. He was the QB22 in Week 1. He would be a QB2 against the Denver Broncos.

Posted 9/08/2024 3:44 pm GMT

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson (calf) has been declared inactive for Week 1 but will be the emergency No. 3 quarterback if needed.

Huddle Up: The Steelers are taking things slow with Wilson, so he will miss at least one game because of the injury. Fantasy players can monitor the situation to see if Wilson or Justin Fields will be the starter moving forward, but neither is more than a No. 2 fantasy quarterback.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Justin Fields has been officially named the starting quarterback for the Week 1 game.

Huddle Up: Fields played well at times during the preseason and could keep the starting job for a while if plays well this week. He should only be a starting option in two-quarterback leagues at this time.
