Steelers | George Pickens leads team in receiving Sun Sep 8, 04:19 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens caught six passes for 85 yards against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1. He was targeted seven times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Pickens was mainly targeted on short range passes and had good enough chemistry with Justin Fields, so this was a great result for him. The Steelers led for most of the second half, so they didn't need to open up the passing game. You should feel good about drafting Pickens after this far from ideal game script, but solid production. |

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren rushed for seven yards on two carries against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1. He also caught two passes for 13 yards during the game.
Link to story Steelers | Najee Harris has decent outing Sun Sep 8, 04:10 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Najee Harris rushed for 70 yards on 20 carries against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1. He also caught one pass for nine yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Harris was the clear lead back, but it's unclear how much that had to do with Jaylen Warren coming off of a preseason hamstring injury. Harris is the only Steelers running back worth starting, but this offense may not produce a consistent fantasy play in the backfield if Warren's role grows as he gets healthier. |

Steelers | Justin Fields posts over 200 total yards Sun Sep 8, 03:57 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Justin Fields went 17-for-23 for 156 yards, zero touchdowns and zero interceptions against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1. He also rushed for 57 yards on 14 carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: Fields didn't turn the ball over and that was good enough to win with the Steelers defense stifling Kirk Cousins. Russell Wilson should be healthier next week, but the Steelers will have a tough choice heading into very winnable matchup at Denver. |

Steelers | Russell Wilson not expected to play Sat Sep 7, 06:37 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson's (calf) chances of playing are 'very slim,' per sources on Saturday, Sept. 7.
| Footballguys view: Wilson made the trip to Atlanta with teammates, and, according to Dulac, the quarterback still hopes to play against the Falcons. He'll continue to get treatment tonight and tomorrow morning. And while it doesn't look good, Wilson hasn't been ruled out yet. Justin Fields is standing by. |

Steelers | Russell Wilson making the trip Sat Sep 7, 02:15 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson (calf) is making the trip to Atlanta with the team but remains questionable, per source on Saturday, Sept. 7.
| Footballguys view: We'll see what Wilson looks like in pregame warmups. Not many Fantasy GMs will be relying on him anyway, but if Justin Fields is starting it will impact the production of the offense. Fields is a better rusher than Wilson, so if he's out there then it could take some rushing opportunities away from Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren. |

Steelers | Pittsburgh's Week 1 injury report Fri Sep 6, 03:51 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers OG Isaac Seumalo (pectoral) and DT Logan Lee (calf) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons. WR Roman Wilson (ankle) was limited in practice all week but has also been ruled out. QB Russell Wilson (calf) was limited in practice for a second straight day on Friday, Sept. 6, and is listed as questionable. CB Cory Trice Jr. (groin), RB Jaylen Warren (hamstring), OT Troy Fautanu (knee) and TE Darnell Washington (knee) practiced in full on Friday and no longer appear on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Wilson is probably not 100%, and won't be very mobile if he does play. That sounds like a recipe for an aggravation of the injury, like what happened to Joe Burrow last year. We expect Justin Fields to start, and he's a viable superflex on his running ability alone. |

Steelers | Isaac Seumalo to miss season opener Tue Sep 3, 02:15 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers OG Isaac Seumalo (pectoral) was ruled out for Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons on Tuesday, Sept. 3. According to head coach Mike Tomlin, Seumalo is considered week-to-week, but the team is 'really optimistic about his return sooner rather than later.'
| Footballguys view: The Steelers have invested greatly in their line both in the draft and free agency - including the signing of Seumalo last year - but they are still closer to the bottom of the league than the top in quality. Missing Seumalo won't help against a Falcons defense that just added Matt Judon and Justin Simmons. It sounds like 2023 seventh round pick Spencer Anderson will get the start in place of Seumalo. |
Steelers | Jaylen Warren practicing Tue Sep 3, 12:24 PM
Updating previous reports, Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (hamstring) has been practicing this week and is optimistic to play in Week 1.
| Footballguys view: As previously noted, Warren expects to join team drills on Wednesday. Steelers players have an off day Tuesday, followed by three consecutive days of practice before the opener. Warren and Najee Harris were almost at a 50-50 split on snaps played last season. We'll continue to monitor Warren's work in coming days. |

The regular season begins this Sunday with a game at the Atlanta Falcons. He expects to join team drills on Wednesday. Steelers players have an off day Tuesday, followed by three consecutive days of practice before the opener. Warren and Najee Harris were almost at a 50-50 split on snaps played last season. This season, veteran Cordarrelle Patterson is expected to play a role as a running back, too. |

Steelers | Roman Wilson makes progress Wed Aug 28, 12:51 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Roman Wilson (ankle) took part in individual drills on Wednesday, Aug. 28, marking the first time he has done so since his injury.
| Footballguys view: Good news here, and we like Wilson's game (there are some flashes of Hines Ward). His ankle injury in late July has kept him out of action for about a month. We may not see him anytime soon in the Steelers offense, but in deep dynasty we appreciate his game. |
