Across eight games this season, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III has recorded 22 receptions for 242 yards and two touchdowns on 37 targets. It's been a struggle for the 26-year-old over in recent weeks, as he's hauled in just three catches for 19 yards on eight targets over his last two games. Perhaps most notably, Austin III saw a significant drop in playing time in the Steelers' Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Austin III played just 19 offensive snaps against Cincinnati, his lowest total in any game this season and nearly 20 fewer than fellow Steelers wideout Roman Wilson. Heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Chicago Bears, Austin III could be fading into a depth role in Pittsburgh. He should not be trusted as a fantasy starter against Chicago.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) was out on the field for the start of Thursday's practice for individual drills, according to Brian Batko of PGSportsNow. Rodgers suffered a small fracture in his left (non-throwing) wrist in the win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, and he was held out of practice on Wednesday. ESPN's Brooke Pryor reports that the 41-year-old's wrist was in "some sort of stabilizer" during individual reps on Thursday. Rodgers will most likely be listed as limited on Thursday's final injury report, but the door remains open for him to play this weekend in Chicago against the Bears. Taking snaps under center might be the most difficult thing for Rodgers to do with his left wrist injury, so it will be interesting to see if he takes more shotgun snaps on Sunday if he's active. Against a ball-hawking Bears defense, Rodgers wouldn't be all that attractive as a low-end QB2 in fantasy if he's active. If he's ruled out, Mason Rudolph would make his first start of 2025.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (ankle) was back at practice on Thursday and was "moving around well" after being listed as a non-participant on Wednesday, according to Brian Batko of PGSportsNow. Warren might be listed as limited on Thursday's report, but it's a good sign for his availability after he injured his ankle on Sunday in the win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The 27-year-old downplayed his ankle injury after Sunday's contest, but it was noteworthy that he didn't re-enter the game in the fourth quarter, allowing backfield mate Kenneth Gainwell to go for season highs in catches (seven) and receiving yards (81) while scoring twice. Offensive coordinator Arthur Smith hinted that Gainwell could see more touches at Warren's expense moving forward, although that will probably be dependent on Warren's health. Warren has been Pittsburgh's clear RB1 this year, but his fantasy ceiling could be lower this weekend against Chicago if he's not 100% past his ankle injury.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (ankle), who didn't practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury he picked up in Sunday's win over the Cincinnati Bengals, could be in danger of losing snaps to backfield mate Kenneth Gainwell. Offensive coordinator Arthur Smith said that Warren and Gainwell are both "really good" on third downs and are "pretty interchangeable." Smith also added that the Steelers got into a rhythm during their two-minute drive against Cincy, which is why Gainwell stayed in for most of the drive. The 27-year-old Warren downplayed his ankle injury, but he didn't appear at all in the fourth quarter on Sunday, while Gainwell caught a season-high seven passes for 81 yards and two touchdowns. Warren has been the team's best RB all year by far, but the Steelers could be positioning themselves for Gainwell to take more of the load off Warren in Week 12 against the Bears if Warren is not 100% healthy.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington continues to trend upward, and he'll look to carry his momentum into Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Chicago Bears. Washington played 71 percent of the offensive snaps last week, which was his highest mark since Week 6. He also caught four of his five targets for a season-high 67 yards, delivering the first double-digit scoring total (PPR) of his career. Washington does still have some competition for targets from Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth, but it appears that he has surpassed both of them in the pecking order given his volume and workload over the last few weeks. Washington is right up there with DK Metcalf as Aaron Rodgers' favorite targets, which will give him some low-end TE1 upside in deeper leagues going forward. Perhaps the more important question for this week is whether Washington will be catching passes from Rodgers, who missed Wednesday's practice with a thumb injury, or Mason Rudolph. Either way, he's a top-25 tight end in fantasy football, and he has top-15 upside against a Bears defense allowing the eighth-most receptions to the position in 2025.
