Free-agent WR Anthony Miller (Steelers) signed a one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Tuesday, Jan. 17. Financial terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed.
Footballguys view: If you play in crazy deep dynasty formats, then Miller is a player that will be on your radar. A former second-round pick (2018), Miller missed the entire 2022 season with a shoulder injury. He's an interesting reserve player in a packed Steelers' WR room. |

Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth (knee) was diagnosed with a medial collateral sprain that will not require surgery Monday, Jan. 9.
Footballguys view: Freiermuth had to leave the season finale, and now we know the injury is not as severe as feared. He'll continue to serve as a valuable target for QB Kenny Pickett. From a fantasy perspective, Freiermuth will be a touchdown-dependent TE1 once again in 2023. |

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Diontae Johnson was targeted a game-high 10 times in Week 18 against the Cleveland Browns, but he managed just two receptions for 38 yards.
Footballguys view: Johnson was targeted a whopping 147 times yet he didn't score a touchdown in 2022. We'll see what kind of chemistry he can build with QB Kenny Pickett going forward. |
Diontae Johnson player page
Pittsburgh Steelers TE Connor Heyward posted three receptions for 45 yards on four targets in Week 18 against the Cleveland Browns, while rushing once for six yards.
Link to storyPittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren rushed six times for 36 yards in Week 18 against the Cleveland Browns while adding three receptions for seven yards on his four targets.
Footballguys view: Undrafted out of Oklahoma State in 2022, Warren has developed into quite the reserve rusher for the Steelers. He'll enter 2023 as the primary backup to RB Najee Harris once again. Warren can rip off big plays as a runner or receiver out of the backfield, and he's a valuable asset for the Steelers offense as they'll likely continue to lean on the rushing attack in 2023. |
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Najee Harris posted 23 rushes for 84 yards and a touchdown in Week 18 against the Cleveland Browns, while adding a 10-yard reception on his lone catch and target. It wasn't all great, as he lost a fumble.
Footballguys view: Harris goes over 1,000 yards for the second time in two pro seasons. He's not getting the work as a receiver that he used to, dropping from 74 catches (2021) to just 41 catches (2022). Harris will remain an RB2 for Fantasy GMs, and he'll continue to work in the Steelers' backfield with RB Jaylen Warren. |
Najee Harris player page
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett completed just 13-of-29 passes for 195 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Week 18 against the Cleveland Browns, and he rushed for one yard on his three carries.
Footballguys view: The Steelers aren't going to the playoffs, but they did seem to find their quarterback of the future in Pickett. A first-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft, Pickett was the only quarterback selected on Day 1. His upside may be limited from a physical standpoint, but he's a gamer with plenty of moxie and the ability to lead a team from an emotional standpoint. Expect the Steelers to continue building around Pickett this offseason. |
Pittsburgh Steelers DL Cameron Heyward registered eight total stops, including three of the solo variety, with two sacks, two tackles for loss, a pass defensed and four quarterback hits in Week 18 against the Cleveland Browns.

Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth (knee) suffered a knee injury during the Week 18 game and has been ruled out.
Footballguys view: Freiermuth was able to limp off the field, so we are not sure if this is a serious injury or not. The Steelers have been eliminated from the playoffs with the Dolphins' win over the Jets. We'll see if Freiermuth has to have any procedure on the knee this offseason. |
