Steelers | Kenneth Gainwell slowed vs. the Browns Sun Dec 28, 05:04 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Kenneth Gainwell carried seven times for 26 yards in a Week 17 loss to the Cleveland Browns. He caught three of four targets for 12 yards.
| Footballguys view: Gainwell was a dud after emerging as a surprise RB1 in fantasy leagues because the Steelers offense was thwarted at almost every turn by a motivated Browns defense in front a spirited home crowd. He'll be a free agent next year, but the Steelers should value him more than any other team after seeing his contributions up close and personal this season. |

Steelers | Jaylen Warren runs for 64 yards Sun Dec 28, 04:57 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren carried 12 times 64 yards in a Week 17 loss to the Cleveland Browns.
| Footballguys view: The Steelers offense was already behind the eight ball against a tough Browns defense without DK Metcalf, and they lost Darnell Washington during the game to a broken forearm, which made it even more difficult for the offense to put together successful drives. Warren broke free a few times for good runs, but the Steelers offense was a dud and will have to find a spark to win the division by beating the Ravens in Pittsburgh next week. |
Steelers | Aaron Rodgers shut down by Browns Sun Dec 28, 04:49 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers completed 21 of 39 for 168 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions in a Week 17 loss to the Cleveland Browns.

Steelers | Darnell Washington suffers season-ending broken arm Sun Dec 28, 02:00 PM
Steelers tight end Darnell Washington sustained a broken arm in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Cleveland Browns, coach Mike Tomlin said. He added he doesn't know Washington's timeline to return.
| Footballguys view: Washington exited late in the first quarter as the Steelers' leading receiver at that point with 15 yards on two catches on two targets. His longest catch went for 11 yards on third-and-16. Washington's absence was especially significant for an offense that also played without its top two wide receivers in DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III (hamstring). Tight end Pat Freiermuth finished as the Steelers' leading receiver with 63 yards on three receptions in five targets. |

Steelers | Jaylen Warren expected to play Fri Dec 26, 03:53 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (hip) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 26, and is not on the injury report for Week 17.
| Footballguys view: Warren is still getting the bulk of the work in the Steelers' backfield, but he's ceding passing-down and goal-line work to Kenneth Gainwell at an alarming rate. There's enough usage here to get him in your lineup as an RB2. But a tough matchup in Cleveland and slipping grasp on the workhorse role push him out of the plug-and-play tier he previously occupied. |
Steelers | Aaron Rodgers not on injury report Fri Dec 26, 03:49 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 26, and is not on the injury report for Week 17.
| Footballguys view: Rodgers has been on the injury report for a few weeks, but has kept playing despite the broken wrist he suffered. It's on his non-throwing hand and hasn't impacted his play. He's a back-end QB2 on the road against Cleveland this week. |

Now, he's limited with a hip injury as the team prepares for a game against the Browns. Warren and Kenneth Gainwell will continue to split time, and we've got Warren as an RB2/flex play for Fantasy GMs in Week 17. |

Steelers | DK Metcalf's two-game suspension upheld; WR's regular season is over Tue Dec 23, 07:40 PM
The two-game suspension for Steelers WR DK Metcalf has been upheld by an appeals officer jointly appointed by the NFL and NFLPA.
| Footballguys view: Not much change here for fantasy investors. Metcalf is out for the rest of the regular season -- as expected. The wideout also loses $555,556 in salary and sees $45 million in future guarantees voided, including $25 million that was fully guaranteed for 2026. Beyond that, the fantasy impact is relatively low. Adam Thielen, Roman Wilson, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling could gain opportunities -- as would Calvin Austin III, if he's healthy enough to play. As for Aaron Rodgers? He remains a low-end QB2. But playmakers like Kenneth Gainwell and Jalen Warren could be asked to do more. |

Steelers | Roman Wilson could see opportunity Tue Dec 23, 11:47 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Roman Wilson could see an opportunity 'to show his professionalism and his readiness and how he's been sharpening his sword for battle,' according to head coach Mike Tomlin.
| Footballguys view: Wilson has been a healthy scratch the last three games due to the emergence of veteran receivers Adam Thielen and Marquez Valdes-Scantling. "One man's misfortune is another man's opportunity," Tomlin said. The misfortune Tomlin refers to is DK Metcalf's. The team's WR1 has been suspended for two games -- pending an appeal (scheduled for today). It's hard to imagine Metcalf winning this appeal outright, so we expect opportunities against the Browns. But none of the team's remaining wideouts, Wilson included, will be trustworthy options in Week 17. |
Steelers | DK Metcalf could lose big-time money Tue Dec 23, 09:50 AM
Updating previous reports, Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf, who is appealing his two-game suspension, will forfeit $555,556 for the two games. The suspension would also void $45 million in future guaranteed money, according to his contract, which was reviewed by CBS Sports and ESPN.
| Footballguys view: We'll watch for word on the appeal, but assuming Metcalf misses time, the Steelers will be without a clear No. 1 receiver in their final two regular-season games. The position group could be even more depleted after Calvin Austin III left the 29-24 victory against the Lions with a hamstring injury. While RB Kenneth Gainwell leads the Steelers with 62 receptions, Metcalf leads the team with 850 receiving yards on 59 catches. The Steelers added WR Adam Thielen to the active roster, and he fared well against Detroit. Again, the appeal is pending, but fantasy managers should make other plans. |

Steelers | DK Metcalf suspended for two games; WR will appeal Mon Dec 22, 05:30 PM
The NFL has announced that Steelers WR DK Metcalf has been suspended two games without pay for his interaction with a fan during Sunday's game at Detroit.
| Footballguys view: The NFL used a two-game suspension for what it called "conduct detrimental to the NFL for initiating a physical confrontation with a fan during Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions." Metcalf will appeal the suspension. But fantasy investors should prepare for the wideout to miss this week's game against the Browns and Week 18 as well. |

Steelers | DK Metcalf facing discipline Mon Dec 22, 09:55 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf could be fined or suspended by the league after grabbing a fan during the game Sunday, Dec. 21, and appearing to throw a slap or a punch at him.
| Footballguys view: The CBS broadcast showed Metcalf talking to the fan, who was in a blue wig and hanging over the first-row railing. In an angle of the incident posted on Instagram, Metcalf walked up to the fan, grabbed him by his shirt collar to pull him closer, then forcefully shoved him back. The fan told the Detroit Free Press he called Metcalf by his full name -- DeKaylin Zecharius Metcalf -- prompting the interaction. Because no flag was thrown during the incident, the NFL claims it cannot weigh in on a disqualification, which is why Metcalf could continue playing. Stay tuned. |

Steelers | Jaylen Warren runs for a career-high 143 yards with a pair of TDs Sun Dec 21, 10:08 PM
Jaylen Warren had two 45-yard touchdown runs in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 29-24 win over the Lions and finished with a career-high 143 yards.
| Footballguys view: Both Steeler running backs had great days as Warren's running mate, Kenneth Gainwell, caught five passes for 78 yards and a touchdown and ran for another 50 yards on nine carries. The Steelers finished the game with a 230-15 advantage in rushing yards. Worth noting, Warren, with 36 snaps, did his damage of four fewer than Gainwell. Both backs will remain in play for fantasy managers heading into a Week 17 game with the Browns. |
