Latest news

Steelers QB Russell Wilson looks set to start Week 7

Tom Pelissero on X

Sources: The Steelers plan to give Russell Wilson first-team reps in practice this week, putting him in line to make his season debut.

Fantasy Impact:

Russ will get the start against the Jets on Sunday night it looks like. Pittsburgh is 4-2 with Fields, but with Wilson’s calf now fully healed it looks like the team is going to make a change. This could mean a better news for the Pittsburgh WRs as Wilson should throw the ball more vs. Fields escaping the pocket and running.

Tomlin: 'No underlying story' with WR George Pickens' reduced snaps

Brooke Pryor on X

Steelers HC Mike Tomlin said there is no underlying story as to why WR George Pickens played only 34 of 57 snaps in Week 5.

Fantasy Impact:

On one series in the second half, Pickens remained on the bench. Tomlin went on to say the team wants to minimize his reps to get more productivity, comparing it to a defensive lineman like Cam Hayward getting less work, and added "it's no different." This may or may not be something to watch. Pickens likely isn't happy with reduced snaps, but we'll have to see if this becomes a trend going forward.

Report: 49ers, Steelers have Brandon Aiyuk deal in place

Pro Football Talk

Aug 13 · 2:44 PM EDT

The standoff between receiver Brandon Aiyuk and the 49ers may be coming to a conclusion soon.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, the 49ers and Steelers have a deal for a potential Aiyuk trade in place. The Steelers also are “in a good place” with Aiyuk on a new contract. If the 49ers give their final sign-off, the deal will be done.

Fantasy Impact:

The story went on to say San Francisco also has an offer out to Aiyuk on a long-term deal for him to remain with the club that, but to this point, Aiyuk has not accepted. The story added it’s currently unclear what Pittsburgh would send back to San Francisco in exchange for Aiyuk, but it would likely be a significant package. If the deal goes through, the Niners would be looking at Pearsall, Jenning and Cowing to move up the depth chart, while in Pittsburgh, Aiyuk and Pickens form the 1-2 punch.

Steelers WR Roman Wilson has ankle injury

Pro Football Talk

Jul 30 · 1:40 PM EDT

Rookie wideout Roman Wilson was carted off the field after getting hurt during Tuesday’s practice. Reporters at the workout said it looked like Wilson injured his left foot or ankle.

Related players: George Pickens, Van Jefferson, Calvin Austin III

Fantasy Impact:

There is no further word on the how serious the injury is. But any missed time in camp for a rookie can be bad news. We reported on Monday that while there are high hopes for Wilson to take on the team's WR2 role, he was running behind Austin in the pecking order.
