Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers finally found some success through the air during last week's win over the Baltimore Ravens. Rodgers threw for 284 yards with one touchdown, which was good enough for top-10 QB value in Week 14. He also had a rushing TD. Before that, Rodgers was held to under 240 passing yards in his previous five contests. The expectation is that Rodgers will continue having success this weekend, assuming the Steelers remain aggressive through the air. He'll draw a favorable matchup against a Miami Dolphins defense that ranks 21st in fantasy points allowed to QBs. Rodgers isn't an elite option, but he should offer more streaming value than usual in Week 15. He's certainly worth a look in two-quarterback leagues, at a minimum.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said on Tuesday that tight end Darnell Washington is in the league's concussion protocol. Washington hauled one one catch for 12 yards in Pittsburgh's win over the Baltimore Ravens before leaving with a concussion on Sunday. The 24-year-old has been operating as the Steelers' TE1 over the previous three weeks, playing 71.7% of the snaps and recording eight receptions for 134 yards on 11 targets. In the first nine games, Washington played only 56.9% of the snaps with 14 receptions (21 targets) for 142 yards and a touchdown. The third-year tight end will need to clear the protocol to suit up for the Week 15 game against the Miami Dolphins on Monday night. If Washington is ruled out, Pat Freiermuth would be the primary beneficiary, with Jonnu Smith and Connor Heyward also seeing an uptick in playing time.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said on Tuesday that wide receiver DK Metcalf (stomach) is "moving in the right direction" and that he doesn't think it'll "jeopardize" his availability for Monday night's game against the Miami Dolphins, according to ESPN's Brooke Pryor. Metcalf experienced stomach pains that resulted in a hospital visit in Baltimore following Sunday's big win over the Ravens. The 27-year-old wideout was taken to the hospital out of an abundance of caution, and he was cleared to leave the hospital to fly back to Pittsburgh on Monday. We'll keep a close eye on Metcalf's status this week, but barring a setback, it sounds like he'll be available for fantasy managers in a strong matchup in Week 15 -- the first week of the fantasy playoffs in most leagues. Metcalf will look to keep his momentum going if he's available on Monday after his second 100-yard game and a season-high 148 receiving yards in Sunday's win over the Ravens.

Across 13 games this season, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell has recorded 657 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns on 130 touches. The 26-year-old has recorded just 35 rushing yards over the last two weeks, and he's been held to rushing yards or less in five out of his last six games. However, Gainwell has emerged as a safety blanket for Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the passing game. Over the last four weeks, Gainwell has hauled in 21 receptions for 163 yards and two touchdowns on 24 targets. Pittsburgh is splitting backfield snaps between Gainwell and Jaylen Warren, which limits the upside of both players. Still, Gainwell's role as a receiver makes him a viable flex option for fantasy managers. Heading into his Week 15 matchup against the Miami Dolphins, Gainwell is worth rostering in PPR leagues with 10 or more teams.

NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday morning that Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf stayed overnight in a Baltimore hotel after going to a local hospital following the game. Metcalf was experiencing stomach pains on the flight, and, out of an abundance of caution, the team's medical personnel sent him to a nearby hospital. He's flying back to Pittsburgh today. At this point, it's unclear what Metcalf's availability for Week 15 will be, but it's certainly something that fantasy managers will want to monitor closely as the week progresses. Metcalf exploded in Week 14 in the Steelers' huge division win over the Baltimore Ravens, 27-22. Metcalf had 148 receiving yards on 12 targets and seven receptions. Up next for the Steelers is a crucial AFC tilt against the red-hot Miami Dolphins (6-7), who have now won four games in a row.
