Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers and WR DK Metcalf full participants in Thursday practice

Tom Pelissero

Nov 27 · 2:18 PM EST

Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (left wrist) and WR DK Metcalf (ankle) were full participants in practice today.

Related Players: Mason Rudolph, Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like both Steelers are on track to play Week 13, with lukewarm fantasy implications. Rodgers should be considered in the QB2/3 range, with an inconsistent Metcalf best regarded as a WR3.

Steelers Beat: Team is high on WR Calvin Austin III

ESPN

Aug 04 · 1:32 PM EDT

The coaches are very high on [Calvin Austin III]. Tomlin calls his trajectory "really exciting," and people I've talked to with the team noted that he gets open often. Austin just doesn't have the numbers (36 catches, 548 yards, 4 touchdowns) to reflect that ability. The offense will heavily feature DK Metcalf and the tight ends, but Austin will have chances with splash plays.

Related players: DK Metcalf, Robert Woods, Roman Wilson, Jonnu Smith

Fantasy Impact:

Austin is being asked to get open on vertical passing plays the story said as the offense is built around taking advantage of matchups. The Steelers WR2 may end up slotting in as the third option at best in this offense, however, with the addition of Smith at TE.

Steelers trade WR George Pickens to Cowboys for trade compensation

Details of the Steelers-Cowboys trade expected to be completed today.

Steelers receive 2026 3rd-round pick and a 2027 5th-round pick.

Cowboys receive WR George Pickens and a 2027 6th-round pick.

Fantasy Impact:

With the relative lack of impactful Draft compensation, it's a wonder this didn't get done prior to or during the 2025 NFL Draft, but Pickens is on the move regardless.

For the Steelers, this makes Roman Wilson a little more intriguing as he heads into Year 2, and Freiermuth should see a little bump closer to high-end TE2 consideration.

For the Cowboys, this slightly lowers CeeDee Lamb's potentially astronomical target share, but gives QB Dak Prescott a much more reliable No. 2 option in what was already projected as a pass-heavy offense with Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders making up their backfield. Pickens is now more of a high-end WR3 than a fringe WR4.

Steelers sign veteran WR Robert Woods to one-year deal

The Steelers are signing veteran WR Robert Woods to a 1-year, $2M deal. A new target and big-time locker room presence for… whoever their QB ends up being. The former Texans WR lands in a great spot.

Related Players: DK Metcalf, George Pickens, Calvin Austin, Roman Wilson

Fantasy Impact:

Should Woods stick on the team until the regular season, he'll have more of an impact keeping sophomore Roman Wilson on the field than he would for the top of the depth chart. We'll have to wait and see how things shake out with Pickens' status as a Steeler throughout the summer.
