  Steelers | Aaron Rodgers good to go    Fri Dec 5, 03:17 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) practiced in full on Friday, Dec. 5, and no longer appears on the injury report.

Footballguys view: Rodgers played through his broken left wrist last week and will do so again in Week 14 against the Ravens. He's deep down the rankings, only offering value in two-quarterback and superflex leagues.

  Steelers | DK Metcalf will play in Week 14    Fri Dec 5, 03:14 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf (rest) practiced in full on Friday, Dec. 5, and no longer appears on the injury report.

Footballguys view: Nothing but a rest day for Metcalf here. His volatility has been frustrating this season, but he's got enough upside that you can use him as a WR3 this week against the Ravens.

  Steelers | Adam Thielen claimed off waivers by Pittsburgh    Tue Dec 2, 04:13 PM

Two-time Pro Bowl WR Adam Thielen was claimed off waivers by the Steelers, a source tells NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Footballguys view: Thielen, 35, wanted one more shot at a Super Bowl in his final season and now lands with longtime NFC North rival Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh. Thielen and Rodgers have known each other for years. Now they're teaming up with the Steelers, who are tied with the Ravens atop the AFC North. Thielen asked for and was granted his release by the Vikings on Monday. He had eight catches for 69 yards in his return to the team.

  Steelers | Darius Slay waived by Pittsburgh    Tue Dec 2, 03:50 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers CB Darius Slay was waived on Tuesday, Dec. 2, for the team to make room for CB Asante Samuel Jr. on the active roster.

Footballguys view: As Profootballtalk.com noted, Slay was a healthy scratch on Sunday against the Bills and was hoping to be released so that he could see if some other team would sign him and play him. He'll be available to any team that wants him on waivers, and then if he clears waivers, he'll be an unrestricted free agent.

  Steelers | Derrick Harmon ruled out for Week 14    Tue Dec 2, 01:15 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers DL Derrick Harmon (knee) will not play in Week 14, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.

Footballguys view: The Steelers gave up 249 rushing yards to the Bills in their 26-7 loss, and, as Profootballtalk.com suggested, Harmon's absence won't do anything to help the team's run defense against Baltimore. Harmon, who was a first-round pick in April, has 22 tackles, two sacks, and a fumble recovery in nine games this season.

  Steelers | Patrick Queen has a bruise    Mon Dec 1, 10:53 AM

  Steelers | Aaron Rodgers calls out unnamed teammates    Mon Dec 1, 02:50 AM

The Steelers are slumping. And quarterback Aaron Rodgers is not mincing words. Rodgers called out unnamed teammates after Sunday's lackluster 26-7 home loss to the Bills. Asked by reporters how to increase production in the passing game, Rodgers said this: "When there's film sessions, everyone shows up. When I check to a route, run the right route."

Footballguys view: It's not the first time Rodgers has said something about players not running the right route. Last year, he called out Jets receiver Mike Williams for failing to be on the "red line," as the play required. As PFT's Mike Florio suggested, Rodgers is obviously frustrated. He thought this year would be different than his most recent two seasons with the Jets. As it stands, the 6-6 Steelers will need to get things turned around quickly, or they won't have to worry about losing another playoff game.

  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.

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.
