Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III has struggled to capitalize on his opportunities in 2025. Through seven games, he's caught 21 of 36 targets for 237 yards and two touchdowns. Despite rumors that Pittsburgh might add another wideout at the trade deadline to complement D.K. Metcalf, no deal materialized, keeping Austin in the WR2 role. However, his Week 10 miscue, a dropped pass that led to an interception, hurt the team and could affect his standing with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. With trust being critical in Rodgers' offense, Austin needs to show more consistency and playmaking ability. For now, he holds some fantasy value based on volume alone, but he'll need to step up to remain a reliable option.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have activated quarterback Will Howard (hand) from Injured Reserve and waived running back Trey Sermon to make room for Howard on the 53-man roster. A sixth-round pick in the 2025 draft, Howard fractured his hand in training camp and was placed on Injured Reserve before the start of the regular season. In his senior season at Ohio State, Howard led the Buckeyes to a national championship and threw for 4,010 yards, 35 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions across 16 games. Howard appears likely to serve as the QB3 behind Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph in Pittsburgh, at least for the time being. The 24-year-old has some deep-league dynasty appeal due to the uncertain long-term future of the quarterback position in Pittsburgh, but Howard is unlikely to factor in redraft fantasy leagues this season.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth caught all three of his targets for 33 yards in a Week 10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. It remains difficult to predict weekly involvement for Pittsburgh's tight ends, but all of them could find success against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. When these two teams met in Week 7, Freiermuth, Jonnu Smith, and Darnell Washington each found the end zone. The Bengals have allowed the most fantasy points and touchdowns to tight ends this season, and Freiermuth has historically torched them. In nine career games versus Cincinnati, he has totaled six touchdowns while averaging over seven targets, five receptions, and 66 yards per contest. Though far from a reliable fantasy starter, Freiermuth can be streamed in a pinch and considered in DFS lineups this Sunday.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson hauled in two of his three targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in a Week 10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Though he logged just a 35% snap share, Wilson tied DK Metcalf to lead the team in receiving on a forgettable night for Pittsburgh's offense. It's also worth noting that fellow receiver Calvin Austin III struggled with drops and caused an interception in the fourth quarter. Going forward, it wouldn't be shocking to see Wilson earn more playing time. It is clear that the Steelers need another weapon to step up for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and Wilson has flashed upside with two scores in the past three weeks. He shouldn't be considered a viable option in most redraft formats, but Wilson could surprise this week against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Over the past two weeks combined, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf has scored just 6.6 half-PPR fantasy points. While there are reasons to be optimistic about the Steelers' offense against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11, this matchup doesn't project to be a great one for Metcalf specifically. Cincinnati has surrendered six receiving touchdowns to opposing wideouts, and only one of them went to a clear WR1. In Metcalf's Week 7 meeting with the Bengals, he managed just three receptions for 50 yards. Because Metcalf has not exceeded five receptions in any contest this season, fantasy managers can't rely on volume when deciding whether to start him. The 27-year-old will probably need to hit pay dirt to provide value as a low-end WR2 or flex option this week.
