Mike Tomlin was asked if he has long-term concern about Najee Harris and said he didn’t have much to say about the running back so soon after the game.

“Not as I sit here right now,” Tomlin said, via Adam Bittner of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “But I don’t have a lot of information as I sit here right now.”

It's a pretty fluid situation as far as the Steelers RBs go. Harris was seen limping in and out of the lineup before heading to the locker room early and not returning on MNF. Warren is dealing with his own injury leaving Snell and McFarland to carry the load on the ground, and they did a pretty good job against the Colts. We'll continue to keep an eye on this situation as the week goes on. The Steelers do have an early game against the Falcons so owners should have time to adjust lineups.

Head coach Robert Saleh said Denzel Mims will still be active this week with Corey Davis' return. They feel there is a role for Mims and he has earned that.

If Corey Davis is a full go for Sunday, he returns to fantasy relevance, but not more than a desperation Flex consideration. He was a low-volume, deep-aDOT option when he was healthy through the first six weeks of the season, and he figures to be a boom-or-bust option in Week 12.

It’ll be Kyle Allen for the Texans at QB Sunday, sources say.

Reports said OC Pep Hamilton declined the change happened but others say it will be Allen under center in Week 12. Mills hasn't been good this year and it seems safe to assume the Texans will spend their high first round pick on a QB in this rich quarterback class in 2023.

Bears QB Justin Fields has been cleared to practice and remains day-to-day.

If Chicago had a real practice today Fields would be considered limited, the tweet went on to say. Jones went on to speculate that it sounds like the Bears won't reveal their plans at QB until gameday. However, it seems like pretty good news for Fields' owners he would have been considered limited today.

“[Kenny Pickett is] getting better in all areas, guys, just the same way that George Pickens is getting better,” head coach Mike Tomlin said in his Tuesday press conference. “I’m not going to comb through it every week. It’s moving in the direction that we would like it to.

The Steelers scored 30 points for the first time this season, but as the story pointed out, it was a tale of two halves. Pickett ended the first half 14-of-19 for 141 yards with a touchdown. He finished the game 25-of-42 for 265 yards with a touchdown. The team is 2-4 with Pickett this season.

Mike Tomlin said RB Jaylen Warren's availability for Colts game is "questionable."

The injury is not considered significant, according to the rest of the tweet. While Warren was supposed to see an increased role in the offense, Harris has looked more like the 2020 version over the span of the last two weeks. Harris had 20 carries last week, including a nice TD run, and added four catches.

Bears QB Justin Fields suffered a left shoulder dislocation, sources say.

Rapoport said it was a painful injury he somehow played through this past Sunday. Rapoport went on to say in his tweet that coach Matt Eberflus described Fields as “day-to-day.” His status for this Sunday is still to be determined. Rapoport also added this explains why Eberflus described Fields as day-to-day, but also did not out rule a season-ending situation as worst-case.

During his Monday press conference, Texans’ HC Lovie Smith left the door open to a QB change this week, going away from Davis Mills to Kyle Allen. “We're not pleased with where we are,” Smith said. “Do we need to do some things differently? Yes, and we will.”

Saying that the Texans' offensive performance on Sunday was a hard watch would be an understatement. Mills was sacked five times and threw two interceptions, and running back Dameon Pierce ran the ball ten times for 0.8 yards per carry. If the quarterback change were to occur, Kyle Allen would inherit a terrible offensive line and a group of pass-catchers who have reiterated that they don't want to play for this team.

Falcons TE Kyle Pitts is believed to have suffered an MCL sprain on Sunday based on initial tests. He’ll have an MRI on Monday to confirm the diagnosis.

Let's hope for a speedy recovery for the sophomore tight end, but in fantasy terms, this may be a blessing in disguise for managers who drafted him too early this summer. All Falcons TEs can now remain safely on waiver wires, as the Atlanta passing attack remains unlikely to contribute to fantasy teams.

Cole Kmet’s early season lull appears to be in his rearview mirror. Before his first touchdown of 2022 against Dallas in Week 8, the Bears tight end had gone 28 straight games without a receiving touchdown. Kmet now seems to be developing into Justin Fields’ No. 1 option.

Kmet has been on the field for 92.9% of offensive snaps, the most by any skill player for Chicago. As the offense has expanded its capabilities with Fields’ growth over the last four weeks, Kmet’s opportunities have increased, the story said. It went on to say Kmet had put in countless hours perfecting his connection with Fields throughout the offseason.
