Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III remained involved in the passing game during the 28-27 win over the Washington Commanders. He received six targets in this contest but only ended up with two receptions for 20 yards. Quarterback Russell Wilson's accuracy left a bit to be desired in this game, and newly-acquired receiver Mike Williams got involved with a touchdown catch as well. Austin continues to be a boom-or-bust type of player that holds a bit more value in deeper leagues. He'll try to break loose against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11.
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell connected on all four of his extra-point attempts in a 28-27 victory over the Washington Commanders. For the first time this season, Boswell did not register a field goal attempt as the Steelers' offense was able to punch the ball into the end zone on three of its four red zone visits. Pittsburgh is scoring at a much higher rate with Russell Wilson under center, but fantasy managers should not expect Boswell to be this quiet most weeks. He should bounce back in Week 11 in a divisional showdown with the Baltimore Ravens.
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren logged 14 carries for 66 yards and hauled in both of his targets for 29 yards in the team's Week 10 win over the Washington Commanders. After a slow start to the campaign, Warren looked much more like his explosive self on Sunday and ran far more efficiently than Najee Harris. He did, however, cough up the football in the red zone with the game on the line. The Commanders failed to capitalize on the turnover and Pittsburgh ultimately came out on top, but Warren did not receive a touch after fumbling. Warren should nonetheless maintain his role going forward and is worth a look on fantasy waiver wires. He'll face a tough challenge against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens in Week 11.
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth recorded three receptions for 17 yards and a touchdown on three targets in a Week 10 victory against the Washington Commanders. Freiermuth, after a strong start to the campaign, has been utilized sparingly with Russell Wilson under center, but it was promising to see him earn an opportunity near the goal line in the second quarter. The three-yard score was Freiermuth's first from Wilson and his third on the season. While his role in the offense has been far too inconsistent to consider him a weekly fantasy option, Freiermuth could be a streaming candidate in the right matchups. That said, he has a great opportunity next week against the Baltimore Ravens, who give up plenty of fantasy production to tight ends.
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Mike Williams came down with his only target, a 32-yard touchdown, in a thrilling Week 10 victory over the Washington Commanders. Williams, who was just dealt to the Steelers earlier this week, played just nine snaps in his debut but was trusted by quarterback Russell Wilson with the game on the line. Wilson threw a perfect deep ball to Williams in the end zone that gave Pittsburgh a 28-27 lead after an extra point with just over two minutes remaining. The 30-year-old wideout should see an uptick in snaps going forward and could be on the fantasy radar at some point this season. He'll be an interesting name on the waiver wire in deeper formats ahead of a Week 11 clash with the Baltimore Ravens.
