  Steelers | Aaron Rodgers to blue medical tent    Sun Nov 30, 06:11 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (face) left the Week 13 game against the Buffalo Steelers in third quarter after a strip-sack and fumble which was returned for a touchdown. Rodgers was sacked, and the bridge of his nose was bloodied, and he was in obvious pain. QB Mason Rudolph checked in on the next drive.

Footballguys view: Rodgers came back in to finish the game, but the Steelers offense got no lift from his return. This team is limping into the last five games of the season with one of the worst offenses in the league. We'll see if Rodgers or Mason Rudolph will start at Baltimore next week in a game that will determine the divisional leader.

  Steelers | DK Metcalf good to go for Week 13    Fri Nov 28, 01:43 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf (ankle) will play in Week 13, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.

Footballguys view: Metcalf's minor early-week injuries are usually managed with limited practices or days off, but he tends to ramp up to full participation by the end of the week. His production has been spotty lately, but his upside keeps him in the WR3 or flex conversation.

  Steelers | Aaron Rodgers will start Week 13    Fri Nov 28, 01:37 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) will start for the Steelers in Week 13, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.

Footballguys view: After missing last week with a broken wrist, Rodgers logged back-to-back practices and is set to return. The injury is to his non-throwing hand, and he'll likely play with a brace. There may be some minor ball-security concerns, but not enough to meaningfully adjust his projections. He's a viable streamer in two-quarterback and superflex leagues.

  Steelers | Aaron Rodgers nearing a return    Tue Nov 25, 01:05 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) has 'great optimism' surrounding his potential to play in Week 13, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.

Footballguys view: It didn't appear that Mason Rudolph was a big dropoff from Rodgers in Week 12 at Chicago, but if the Eagles move the ball easily on the Bears banged up defense on Black Friday, we might need to revise that. The Bills defense hasn't been that imposing, so if Rodgers starts, he'll be a consideration as a high floor QB2/Superflex in Week 13.

  Steelers | DK Metcalf scores rushing touchdown    Sun Nov 23, 07:07 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf caught five of eight targets for 22 yards and had two carries for 12 yards and a touchdown in a Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears.

Footballguys view: Metcalf also left the game briefly with an ankle injury. His score in the red zone made him a decent WR3/Flex play, but he's not going to live up to his fantasy draft cost in an underwhelming Steelers passing game. He's a boom/bust WR3/Flex against the Bills in Week 13.

  Steelers | Kenneth Gainwell accounts for 122 yards    Sun Nov 23, 06:51 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Kenneth Gainwell ran 10 times for 92 yards with a long of 55 in a Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears. He also caught all six of his targets for 30 yards.

Footballguys view: Gainwell ran away from the defense for a 55-yard gain to the one on a fake tush push, and he was a frequent safety valve for backup quarterback Mason Rudolph. This big fantasy performance was the first one Gainwell has posted with a full speed Jaylen Warren. Consider him a what-the-heck flex with upside against the Bills in Week 13.

  Steelers | Jaylen Warren fins the end zone for fourth time    Sun Nov 23, 06:43 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren ran 18 times for 68 yards and a touchdown in a Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears.

Footballguys view: Warren scored, but he is in more of a committee with Kenneth Gainwell that we've seen at his peak fantasy value this season. The Bills can also be vulnerable against the run, so consider Warren a high floor Flex play for Week 13.

  Steelers | Mason Rudolph throws for 171 yards and a touchdown    Sun Nov 23, 06:35 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Mason Rudolph completed 24-of-31 for 171 yards with a touchdown, interception and a fumble in a Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears.

Footballguys view: Rudolph played better than his numbers, but the Steelers offense still should have been more productive against a Bears defense that was starting backups at linebacker and suffered more defensive injuries during the game. The Eagles should be able to put up a lot of yards and points against Chicago in Week 13, while we'll wait to see if Rudolph or Aaron Rodgers start for the Steelers against the Bills.
