Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) is slated to return in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills. Rodgers suffered a broken left wrist in Week 11 and was unable to play in Week 12's loss to the Chicago Bears. Head coach Mike Tomlin stated that he was "highly optimistic" that Rodgers was going to be back against the Bills. The Steelers held him back from playing last week, preparing him for this marquee showdown against the Bills, which will be extremely important as the Steelers chase a divisional title. Buffalo has been among the best pass defenses in the NFL this season, allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks. Despite Rodgers trending towards playing this week, a tough matchup could limit his fantasy value in Week 13.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth caught all three of his targets for 19 receiving yards and a touchdown in a Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears. The 27-year-old secured Mason Rudolph's lone passing score, a three-yard strike in the fourth quarter. Though Freiermuth ranks second on the Steelers in receiving yards and touchdowns, he's fifth in targets, trailing DK Metcalf (ankle), Kenneth Gainwell, Calvin Austin III, and Jonnu Smith. Even with Aaron Rodgers (wrist) expected back in Week 13, Freiermuth can't be trusted for fantasy purposes, especially against a Buffalo Bills defense that has shut down opposing tight ends this season.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III hauled in four of his five targets for 36 yards in a 31-28 loss to the Chicago Bears. Austin appeared to be losing playing time to Roman Wilson in Week 11, but reclaimed a larger role in Week 12 and paced all Steelers in receiving yards. It's possible he operated as the WR2 due to his prior experience with quarterback Mason Rudolph, who started in place of Aaron Rodgers (wrist) and previously played alongside Austin in 2023. That said, fantasy managers shouldn't read too much into this change. Pittsburgh's wide receiver usage remains unsettled, and Austin is best left on watch lists as we monitor how the rotation shakes out heading into a Week 13 matchup with the Buffalo Bills.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson failed to secure either of his targets in a Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears. After logging a 57% snap share in Week 11, the second-year pro took the field for just 28% of Pittsburgh's offensive snaps. Meanwhile, Calvin Austin III, whose playing time dipped the week prior, led the team in receiving with only 36 yards. There is still hope for Wilson down the stretch since no one in the Steelers' receiving corps has established consistent production. However, he's off the fantasy radar in redraft formats heading into a Week 13 meeting with the Buffalo Bills.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren turned 18 carries into 68 yards and a touchdown in a Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears. For the first time this season, he was not targeted in the passing game. Backfield mate Kenneth Gainwell, on the other hand, hauled in all six of his targets and added 92 rushing yards. This marked the second straight week in which Gainwell outproduced Warren for fantasy purposes, though it's important to remember that Warren suffered an ankle injury in Week 11. It will be interesting to see how the two backs are deployed on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, who have struggled to stop the run all season. Being another week removed from the injury should only benefit Warren, so fantasy managers have no reason to panic just yet.
