Pittsburgh Steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren has slowly been seeing more utilization within the team's offense and will return from a bye to take on the 7-2 Washington Commanders in Week 10. While the Commanders have fared well against pass-catching backs, they surrender the most yards per carry to the position in the NFL. Warren earned three targets in both of his appearances with Russell Wilson under center and should continue to get opportunities through the air as well as on the ground. Although backfield mate Najee Harris has much more touchdown upside than Warren, the latter could still find success in this contest. He is not a dependable starting option but Warren can be viewed as a possible flex play on Sunday.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens has flashed massive potential with Russell Wilson at quarterback and will look to make the most of his opportunities in a Week 10 clash with the Washington Commanders. Pittsburgh traded for veteran wideout Mike Williams earlier this week, which could prove to be beneficial for Pickens' fantasy output. At this point in his career, Williams is not expected to earn a significant target share, but he should be able to draw some attention away from Pickens. While Washington has not surrendered a ton of passing yards this season, it is tied for the fifth-most touchdowns given up to receivers through nine weeks. Fantasy managers should continue to feel comfortable deploying Pickens as a WR2 with plenty of upside on Sunday.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris was the fantasy RB7 from Weeks 6-8 and will return from a bye to face the Washington Commanders in Week 10. The Commanders have been a middle-of-the-pack matchup for fantasy backs this season, but their strongest aspect has been limiting production in the passing game. Washington surrenders the most yards per carry to running backs in the NFL. While Harris occasionally contributes through the air, the vast majority of his work comes on the ground. He'll have plenty of opportunities on Sunday as the Steelers run the ball at the second-highest rate in the league. Harris should be started in most formats and projects as a solid RB2 on Sunday.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson is 2-0 with four total touchdowns and no interceptions as a starter this season. He'll face what could be his toughest challenge yet in keeping up with the Washington Commanders in Week 10. The Commanders are among the highest-scoring offenses in the league while limiting opposing teams to the fifth-fewest passing yards per contest. Still, Washington has given up a fair amount of passing touchdowns, so Wilson could certainly find success on Sunday. Pittsburgh added veteran wide receiver Mike Williams ahead of the NFL trade deadline to give Wilson another weapon and hopefully improve the team's aerial attack. Although the 35-year-old shouldn't be trusted in single-quarterback formats, Wilson projects as a fine QB2 option in superflex leagues this week.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The veteran back appears to be finally ready to make his return to the field. Patterson hasn't played since Week 4, but appears to be ready after getting in full practice sessions this week. Patterson is unlikely to have much fantasy value as the third string option behind Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren in the backfield. Patterson gives the Steelers depth in the backfield and at kick/punt returner, but isn't a viable fantasy option right now.
