Pittsburgh Steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol after suffering a concussion in the Week 13 win over the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Austin is now up in the air to be available to play in Week 14 when the team takes on the division-rival Cleveland Browns. The 25-year-old scored for the second straight week on Sunday against the Bengals before suffering his head injury, finishing with two catches for 29 yards. The previous week, he caught all three of his targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in the loss to Cleveland. If he's cleared by an independent neurologist later this week to play on Sunday, Austin will be a boom/bust WR4/flex, at best, for fantasy managers in deeper leagues. If Austin is out in Week 14, it will open up more snaps for Van Jefferson as the WR2 behind George Pickens in Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell connected on three of his four field goal attempts and drilled all five of his extra-point tries in a 44-38 victory over the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. Boswell was good from 50, 34, and 30 yards out, but unfortunately had a 42-yard attempt blocked by the Bengals in the third quarter. Still, Boswell was excellent for fantasy purposes as Pittsburgh's offense had no trouble moving the football and managed to find the end zone four times. With how dominant Boswell has been this season, fantasy managers need to keep him locked into starting lineups regardless of his opponent. That said, he'll face a difficult Cleveland Browns defense in Week 14.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren turned three carries into nine yards and gained 55 yards on four receptions in a Week 13 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Warren, who out-snapped and outproduced Najee Harris last week, took a backseat on Sunday but still was effective as a weapon in the passing game. He has looked explosive when given opportunities, but with Cordarelle Patterson mixing in for six touches this week, it's difficult to predict what Pittsburgh's backfield rotation will look like moving forward. Warren is worth rostering in most formats but should only be viewed as a flex option in PPR leagues next week against the Cleveland Browns.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth logged six receptions for 68 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in a 44-38 victory against the Cincinnati Bengals. Freiermuth led the team in targets and tied for the team lead in catches on Sunday while making his fourth trip to the end zone of the season. He was largely uninvolved when Russell Wilson first took over at quarterback but has been more of a focal point in recent weeks, specifically near the red zone. The 26-year-old will carry some fantasy value as a streaming option into a Week 14 meeting with the Cleveland Browns.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens hauled in three of his six targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in a Week 13 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. While he didn't lead the team in targets or receptions, he paced all Steelers in receiving yards in a vintage Russell Wilson performance. The two connected for a 17-yard score early in the first quarter and later on a deep ball for a gain of 36 yards. Pickens has now scored three times since Wilson took over QB1 duties and is establishing himself as a consistent fantasy asset. He'll look to provide better results against the Cleveland Browns next week than he did in Week 12's loss.
