Free-agent WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (49ers) agreed to terms with the Pittsburgh Steelers Monday, Oct. 27, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
| Footballguys view: The signing would bring a former target of Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers into the fold while the Pittsburgh passing offense continues to struggle. Rodgers and Valdez-Scantling spent four seasons together in Green Bay from 2018 to 2021. During that time, Valdez-Scantling caught 123 passes from Rodgers. This constitutes a significant percentage of Valdez-Scantling's 209 career receptions. Valdez-Scantling also caught 13 touchdown passes from Rodgers. In 2020, Valdez-Scantling led the NFL with 20.9 yards per reception. We'll see if he can break into the rotation here. |

Link to storyPittsburgh Steelers WR Roman Wilson posted four receptions for a team-high 74 yards and a touchdown on five targets in Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers.
| Footballguys view: Aaron Rodgers' rollout pass to Wilson in the first quarter for 45 yards had an air distance of 55.7 yards. Wilson's previous long was a 13-yard catch the prior week, and Sunday's grab eclipsed his career (36 yards in seven games) total in one catch. Wilson's final totals were all career highs. The second-year man is worth a speculative add. |

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Calvin Austin (shoulder) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 24, and is not on the injury report for Week 8.
| Footballguys view: A Week 4 injury to Calvin Austin pushed Arthur Smith into heavy personnel usage, highlighting the tight ends as secondary pass-catchers behind DK Metcalf. It's yet to be seen how Austin will work his way back into the fold. He garnered steady usage through the first few weeks, but the current iteration of the Steelers' offense has been respectable. Austin is off the fantasy radar this week until we can see what his role looks like upon his return. |
Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 24, and is not on the injury report for Week 8.
| Footballguys view: Metcalf's absence was nothing but a standard veteran rest day. He's a high-end WR2 in this matchup against the Packers, although coverage from Keisean Nixon could put a slight limit on his ceiling. |

| Footballguys view: Austin has been out since suffering a shoulder injury during the Steelers' Sept. 28 victory over the Vikings. He had to be evaluated at a local hospital. In four games this season, Austin has caught 10 passes for 139 yards with two touchdowns. We'll follow up in coming days to see if Austin gets in enough work to return to action against the Packers in Week 8. |
