Pat Freiermuth - Scores third touchdown of 2024 Freiermuth secured all three of his targets for 17 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 28-27 win over Washington.

Impact Freiermuth tallied just 5.7 yards per target Sunday, his second-lowest mark of the season. However, he reached the end zone in the second quarter to prop up his fantasy line. The 2021 second-rounder has now been held below 20 receiving yards in three of his last four appearances.

Mike Williams - Reaches end zone in team debut Williams secured his lone target for a 32-yard touchdown during Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders.

Impact Williams was on the field for just nine offensive snaps during his first game in a Steelers uniform, but he made his presence felt by securing a go-ahead touchdown with 2:22 remaining in the fourth quarter. Despite reaching the end zone for the first time this season, the 30-year-old's lack of playing time was concerning. However, it's possible that Williams earns more opportunities if he continues to succeed when called upon.

Van Jefferson - No catches in narrow win Jefferson failed to secure either of his two targets in Sunday's 28-27 win over Washington.

Impact Jefferson had a season-best game in the Steelers' final game before the Week 9 bye, securing four of five targets for 62 yards. Although he was on the field for 71 percent of the team's offensive snaps against the Commanders, the 2020 second-rounder was held without a catch for the third time this season. Despite Jefferson's performance ahead of the bye week, he hasn't been a consistent fantasy option this year.

Cordarrelle Patterson - Tallies 14 rushing yards Patterson rushed three times for 14 yards during Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders.

Impact Patterson made his return to the field Sunday after missing the Steelers' four games heading into their Week 9 bye due to an ankle injury. He was on the field for just eight offensive snaps but still logged three touches. Although it's encouraging to see Patterson back in action, he hasn't been a reliable fantasy option when healthy this year.

Calvin Austin III - Little production on six targets Austin recorded two receptions on six targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders.

Impact Austin saw a season-high six targets, and he delivered a pivotal 13-yard gain on the Steelers' game-winning drive. However, his role is likely to be in flux given the addition of Mike Williams, who took on a limited snap count in his team debut against the Commanders. Even with a lack of other receiving options early this season, Austin has topped 50 receiving yards only twice in nine games.

NFL Week 10 highlights: Lions storm back vs. Texans, Eagles blow out Cowboys

Week 10 of the NFL season continued on Sunday, starting with a matchup in Germany. Here are the top plays!

NFL Week 10 highlights: Lions storm back vs. Texans, Eagles blow out Cowboys

Jaylen Warren - Usage ticking up Warren rushed the ball 14 times for 66 yards in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders. He added two receptions on two targets for 29 yards.

Impact Warren earned a season-high 16 touches and out-performed Najee Harris for much of the game. He accounted for three of Pittsburgh's 10 longest gains from scrimmage, highlighted by rushes of 12 and 10 yards as well as a reception that went for 26 yards. The primary downside for Warren's projected role is his lack of work near the goal line, particularly after he lost a crucial fumble in Sunday's winning effort. Even so, his usage continues to tick up, and he should settle into seeing around 12 to 15 touches per game on a consistent basis.

NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

George Pickens - Continues production with Wilson Pickens recorded five receptions on seven targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders. He added one rush for four yards.

Impact Pickens continued to show excellent rapport with Russell Wilson, as he now has 276 yards and two touchdowns across Wilson's three starts. His performance Sunday was highlighted by a 16-yard touchdown to conclude Pittsburgh's first offensive possession, and he also tacked on 34 and 24-yard receptions. Plagued by inconsistency to start the season, Pickens has turned into a reliable weekly contributor and that should be the case once again in Week 11 against the Ravens.

NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Najee Harris - Punches in third touchdown Harris rushed the ball 21 times for 53 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders. He was not targeted.

Impact Harris entered Sunday in the midst of one of the most productive stretches of his career by topping 100 yards in three consecutive games. He didn't continue that streak and was inefficient overall, but there were still some positive takeaways from his performance in Week 10. He led the Steelers' backfield, recording 21 touches as compared to 16 for Jaylen Warren. Harris also scored his third touchdown in his last four games with a one-yard touchdown midway through the third quarter. It's also worth noting that Harris briefly left the game in the fourth quarter with an apparent ankle injury, though he did return on Pittsburgh's game-winning drive.

Russell Wilson - Tosses game-winning score Wilson completed 14 of 28 passes for 195 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders. He also rushed the ball four times for three yards.

Impact Wilson couldn't maintain the efficiency of his first two starts of the season, as he slipped to only 7.0 yards per carry. However, he still led the Steelers to four scoring drives, and he capped three of those with passing scores of 32, 16 and three yards. His 32-yard touchdown came with only 2:16 remaining and proved to be the game-winning score on a deep connection with newcomer Mike Williams. Wilson now has three total touchdowns in two of his three starts and has yet to throw an interception.

NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Highsmith - Injures ankle in Week 10 win Highsmith injured his left ankle late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Highsmith was spotted on crutches following Sunday's win after suffering an ankle injury, per Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com. Highsmith will undergo further testing on his ankle, though it looks like he is in serious jeopardy of missing the Steelers' Week 11 contest against the Ravens. If that were to be the case, Nick Herbig or the newly acquired Preston Smith would get the start at outside linebacker opposite T.J. Watt.
