Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell posted another solid fantasy effort in Week 12's loss to the hosting Chicago Bears, making the team's backfield situation less clear than it was a few weeks ago. Gainwell might not have had as much success as a receiver on Sunday as he did in Week 11's win, though he's now logged at least six receptions in back-to-back games and four or more in three of four. The 26-year-old's elevated workload in Pittsburgh's win over Cincinnati two Sundays ago can be explained away by teammate Jaylen Warren's mid-game injury. However, it's notable that Gainwell retained his passing game role with Warren fully healthy, particularly because offensive coordinator Arthur Smith sang the praises of the former earlier in the week. As it stands, both Steelers' RBs may boast a bit of value. However, Gainwell currently plays a more valuable part in PPR leagues. It's a backfield worth monitoring ahead of the fantasy playoffs.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell had his second straight big game in his team's 31-28 Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears, recording 10 carries for 92 yards and six receptions for 30 yards on six targets. The 26-year-old has emerged as a featured player in the Pittsburgh passing game in recent weeks, recording 13 receptions on 14 targets over the last two games. Notably, fellow Steelers running back Jaylen Warren did not earn a target in Week 12. Gainwell also out-gained Warren 92 yards to 68 yards on the ground, despite logging eight fewer carries. While Pittsburgh is likely to continue featuring both backs, Gainwell may be eating into Warren's playing time with his recent performance. For the season, Gainwell is now averaging over five yards per touch. He's worthy of flex consideration for fantasy managers heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that he expects quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) to play in next Sunday's Week 13 contest against the Buffalo Bills. Although Rodgers sat out this week's loss against the Chicago Bears, it sounds like his absence will last just one game. He was reportedly pushing to play against the Bears in Week 12, but the Steelers' medical personnel ultimately held him out. The veteran quarterback is 6-4 this season with 19 passing touchdowns and seven interceptions, ranking as the overall QB17 in fantasy football. Assuming he doesn't suffer any sort of setbacks within the next week, Rodgers should suit up against Buffalo, ranking as a mid-to-high QB2 in fantasy football.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (ankle) has returned to his team's Week 12 matchup against the Chicago Bears after briefly exiting the game due to an ankle injury. Metcalf limped off the field and was checked out in the medical tent, but was ultimately cleared to return to the field. Metcalf may not be at 100% for the remainder of Week 12, but Steelers fans and fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief that he avoided a major injury. Now that he's back in the lineup, the 27-year-old should continue to be the top target for Steelers backup quarterback Mason Rudolph in Week 12 against Chicago. Metcalf scored a touchdown in the first half before tweaking his ankle.

The Pittsburgh Steelers said that wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears due to an ankle injury. The first-year Steeler limped off the field during the second quarter and is now up in the air to come back. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Metcalf looked to be breaking his recent slump before the injury. At the time of Metcalf's exit, he had caught two of three targets for nine yards and also rushed twice for 12 yards and a touchdown. Pittsburgh leans heavily on tight ends and running backs in the passing game, but will turn to receivers Calvin Austin III and Ben Skowronek if Metcalf can't return.
