INJURIES

Chris Boswell - Lackluster results Sunday Boswell made one of two field-goal attempts and converted his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 36-10 loss to Kansas City.
Impact Boswell missed a 36-yard attempt wide left in the second quarter Sunday, but he put the Steelers on the board with a 34-yarder in the third quarter. The 30-year-old made 24 of 25 field-goal attempts across his first 12 appearances of the 2021 campaign, but he's now made just five of eight field-goal attempts across the last three games.

Cody White - Three catches in Week 16 White hauled in all three of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 36-10 loss to Kansas City.
Impact The Steelers rested some of their starters late in Sunday's blowout loss, so White drew some targets in the closing minutes. The 23-year-old has played primarily on special teams this year and is unlikely to see much offensive work across the final two games of the season.
DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Ray-Ray McCloud - Targeted eight times in loss McCloud secured four of eight targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 36-10 loss to Kansas City.
Impact McCloud didn't record any yardage in last week's win over Tennessee, but he ranked second on the team in targets in Sunday's blowout loss. The 2018 sixth-rounder has had inconsistent targets this year but has now been targeted at least eight times in three of his last six appearances.
DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Benny Snell Jr. - Six touches in loss Snell totaled five carries for 20 yards while securing his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 36-10 loss to Kansas City.
Impact The Steelers failed to generate much offensive production in Sunday's blowout loss, but this allowed Snell to see some action in the second half. His six touches in Week 16 represented his highest total of the season, but he's had a minimal impact behind rookie Najee Harris for most of the year.

DECEMBER 27, 2021 • STEELERS.COM
Zach Gentry - Makes four catches Gentry caught four passes for 31 yards on four targets against Kansas City on Sunday.
Impact The absence of Pat Freiermuth (concussion) left an opening for Gentry to see more work as a pass catcher, and the hulking tight end did his part with the usage. At 6-foot-8, 265 pounds with limited movement ability, this box score might mark something of a best-case scenario for Gentry, who more reliably makes his mark as a blocker.
DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Chase Claypool - Quiet game again Claypool caught four passes for 41 yards on six targets against Kansas City on Sunday.
Impact Claypool was Pittsburgh's most efficient wide receiver Sunday, but he saw fewer targets than Diontae Johnson (nine) and Ray-Ray McCloud (eight), who respectively produced 51 and 25 yards with their usage. Claypool might have more work to do to get out of coach Mike Tomlin's doghouse, but McCloud's reliably poor returns might give reason for the Steelers to reconsider any punitive playing time reductions to Claypool in the future. The Steelers face the Browns -- against whom Claypool caught four passes for 45 yards and ran for 16 yards on two carries when he saw them in Week 8 earlier this year -- in Week 17.

Ben Roethlisberger - Struggles in road game Roethlisberger completed 23 of 35 pass attempts for 159 yards, one touchdown and one interception against Kansas City on Sunday.
Impact Roethlisberger's touchdown occurred late in garbage time, so his performance was even worse than the box score implied in the 36-10 loss. At this point in his decline, Roethlisberger doesn't project for an obvious bounce back against the Browns in Week 17, but he had a decent game at Cleveland in Week 8 (22 of 34 for 266 yards and one touchdown) and gets to face them in Pittsburgh this time around.
DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Diontae Johnson - Finds end zone late Johnson caught six passes for 51 yards and one touchdown on nine targets against Kansas City on Sunday.
Impact The touchdown occurred late during garbage time in a game during which the Steelers were pummeled 36-10, and Johnson lost a fumble without being touched earlier in the game, but the rougher points in his Sunday performance can be excused given the difficulty of the circumstances. Ben Roethlisberger couldn't get anything going against the Chiefs defense, and Johnson had only moderate success as a result. Johnson's sky-high target rate gives him a good chance to come through again for his fantasy investors even if Roethlisberger struggles against Cleveland in Week 17. The wideout caught six passes for 98 yards on 13 targets against Cleveland in Week 8 this year.

Najee Harris - Goes over 100 yards from scrimmage Harris ran for 93 yards on 19 carries and caught five passes for 17 yards on seven targets against Kansas City on Sunday.
Impact Harris ran hard against the Chiefs defense despite getting let down by the offense around him, especially the Pittsburgh passing game. While the Steelers passing game is likely to continue struggling and the burden of that might continue falling disproportionately on Harris, he also has already shown the ability to produce despite the poor circumstances in a number of games this year. Even though his Week 17 matchup with Cleveland isn't easy on paper, Harris' high usage gives him a shot to stand out. Harris ran for 91 yards and one touchdown on 26 carries and added three receptions for 29 yards the first time he faced Cleveland.
