Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee), TE Vance McDonald (concussion) questionable

Tomlin said WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) and TE Vance McDonald (concussion) could still be classified as questionable for the Jets.

Fantasy Impact:

Tomlin added McDonald is still in concussion protocol. Meanwhile for Smith-Schuster, he had a chance to play last week before being downgraded later in the week, and reports say it will be a similar situation this week. The Steelers are still alive for a playoff berth so having Smith-Schuster back would be a big deal for the offense and QB Devlin Hodges, who was recently named the starter.

Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee, out) missed practice Friday after taking limited reps Thursday and is out for Week 15. His absence will open up more opportunity for Diontae Johnson and James Washington, but neither player is particularly interesting given a tough matchup with the Bills.

JuJu Smith-Schuster not expected to play Sunday

Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster aggravated his knee injury and is now not expected to play Sunday against the Bills.

Fantasy Impact:

Certainly very unfortunate. Smith-Schuster put in a full practice Wednesday and was looking good to make his return, but left early Thursday when the injury occurred. It will be another week with James Washington and Diontae Johnson leading the way. It does look like the team will be getting James Conner back this week, so there is some good news in Pittsburgh.

Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) was limited Thursday after taking full practice reps Wednesday. Smith-Schuster left practice early on Thursday. This was reportedly part of his maintenance plan for this week, but we'll have to see what he's able to do on Friday. He has scored fewer than 7.5 fantasy points in four of his previous five games, with the exception being the 5-103-1 he posted on the Dolphins. He's a desperation start in a tough matchup against the Bills.

Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster left practice early Thursday with a knee injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Not the best of signs as this was a downgrade for JuJu after he practiced in full Wednesday. We’ll see if he suffered some sort of setback. Friday will be very telling for his potential to play in a key game Sunday night against the Bills. James Conner was a full participant, so it wasn’t all bad for Pittsburgh. If JuJu can’t go, Diontae Johnson will have another chance to shine after his breakout performance in Week 14.

Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) practiced fully Wednesday. It appears that Smith-Schuster will return this week. He has scored fewer than 7.5 fantasy points in four of his previous five games, with the exception being the 5-103-1 he posted on the Dolphins. He's a desperation start in a tough matchup against the Bills.

Tomlin expects James Conner (shoulder) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) to practice this week.

Fantasy Impact:

The tweet said Tomlin doesn't know how much they'll participate Wednesday, but expects them to participate in some capacity sooner rather than later in the week. Reports have indicated both could play this week.

Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) eyes Week 15 return

Steelers’ WR JuJu Smith-Schuster is eyeing a return against the Buffalo Bills, per source.

Fantasy Impact:

Smith-Schuster has missed the past three games with a knee injury. Keep in mind this is a Sunday night game against the Bills, so he'll be a risky play without a backup plan if there remains any doubt about his status.
