Ben Skowronek

PIT Wide Receiver #15

Steelers coach Mike McCarthy said Ben Skowronek (leg) has been ruled out for Week 6.

We weren’t exactly worried about Skowronek siphoning many targets away, but with him out of the pecking order entirely Germie Bernard should be a wheels-up WR3 for Week 6 now that both Skowronek and Roman Wilson have been ruled out.
Jaylen Warren

PIT Running Back #30

Steelers coach Mike McCarthy said “there’s a number you’d like to continue to give [Jaylen Warren],” even after Rico Dowdle (toe) returns.

“He’s produced, so it’s been heavy. It’d be great to get Rico back this week, too. ... Having him as a one-two punch was the vision of this offense, but Jaylen’s crushing it right now. He’s been awesome for us,” McCarthy continued. That’s a very telling “but.” Warren has to be regarded as the chair of a committee at this point rather than in a backfield split, and Dowdle probably doesn’t belong in the FLEX conversation coming off his injury until we see a good workload for him.
Roman Wilson

PIT Wide Receiver #14

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Steelers WR Roman Wilson is expected to miss a “couple of weeks” after suffering a finger injury in Week 5 against the Colts.

According to Fowler, Wilson is seeking a second opinion on his injury. He was initially diagnosed with a dislocated finger, but given today’s report, it sounds like this may be more severe than initially expected. Wilson entered Week 5 with back-to-back 60-plus-yard games and had been targeted six times in each of his first four games. Rookie Germie Bernard, who caught 6-of-9 targets for 80 yards in Week 5’s win over the Colts, will be worth a claim on waivers this week and profiles as a WR4/FLEX option in PPR leagues for Week 6 against the Buccaneers.
Pat Freiermuth

PIT Tight End #88

Pat Freiermuth caught 5-of-7 targets for 44 yards and two touchdowns in the Steelers’ Week 5 win over the Colts.

Freiermuth ran 27 routes on 38 dropbacks, which was a distant third behind DK Metcalf and Germie Bernard; however, Aaron Rodgers is far more effective when targeting the intermediate and middle areas of the field, which makes Freiermuth a more consistent target than either of the wide receivers. With Michael Pittman (foot) and Roman Wilson (finger) both hurt, Freiermuth could be a fringe TE1 next week against the Bucs.
DK Metcalf

PIT Wide Receiver #4

DK Metcalf caught 3-of-4 targets for 12 yards in the Steelers’ Week 5 win over the Colts.

This was not the game many expected against a beleaguered Colts defense. Two of Metcalf’s three catches were on screens behind the line of scrimmage, and he was only targeted 10 yards down the field once. Aaron Rodgers is not having much success throwing the ball deep down the field, which means Metcalf is likely going to be a touchdown-dependent WR3 in fantasy next week against the Bucs.
Germie Bernard

PIT Wide Receiver #17

Germie Bernard caught 6-of-9 targets for 80 yards in the Steelers’ Week 5 win over the Colts.

Michael Pittman (foot) was ruled out earlier in the week, and then Roman Wilson dislocated his finger during the game, so there wasn’t a lot of competition for Bernard and DK Metcalf. The rookie from Alabama played the same number of snaps as Metcalf and ran a route on 35 of the team’s 38 dropbacks. This isn’t an explosive passing attack, but Bernard looks like the WR2 in Pittsburgh now and is more of an intermediate and short-area target than DK Metcalf, which could lead to decent fantasy value over the next few weeks.
Jaylen Warren

PIT Running Back #30

Jaylen Warren rushed 15 times for 101 yards and a touchdown in the Steelers’ Week 5 win over the Colts, adding six catches for 87 yards and another touchdown through the air.

Warren got the Steelers on the board with an 80-yard catch-and-run, where he simply beat the Colts defenders down the sideline. He also ripped off a 50-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. The Steelers only had one other play go for longer than 17 yards on the day. Since Rico Dowdle has been out with a toe injury, Warren has emerged as a true RB1 in fantasy football. Even when Dowdle returns, you have to think that the Steelers have seen enough that they need to give Warren the lion’s share of the work.
Aaron Rodgers

PIT Quarterback #8

Aaron Rodgers completed 22-of-31 passes for 235 yards and three touchdowns in the Steelers’ 34-22, Week 5 win over the Colts.

The Steelers seemed worried about the Colts’ pass rush today, so there were a lot of quick-hit passes from Rodgers. The vast majority of them went to running backs or tight ends. Only nine of Rodgers’ 22 completions went to wide receivers, and 80 of his 235 passing yards came on a short pass to Jaylen Warren that the running back took up the sideline for a long touchdown. That’s not to say Rodgers didn’t play well. He did a good job avoiding sacks and not taking negative plays, but the Steelers’ offense didn’t look very potent outside of two explosive plays from Jaylen Warren. They may find things a little bit tougher against the Bucs next week.
Roman Wilson

PIT Wide Receiver #14

Roman Wilson has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 5 against the Colts with a dislocated finger.

Wilson had just one target in the first half. He pinned the reception to his hip, but the ball was ripped loose by a defender, which not only made the pass incomplete but also seemed to dislocate Wilson’s finger. With Michael Pittman Jr. also hurt, we should continue to see a lot of Germie Bernard in Week 5.
Ben Skowronek

PIT Wide Receiver #15

Ben Skowronek has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Colts with a calf injury.

There hasn’t been a lot of word on what happened to Skowronek. He went into the blue medical tent in the second quarter to have his leg looked at and then headed into the locker room. When the Steelers returned the kickoff to start the second half, Skowronek, who is a key special teamer, was not on the field. He was ruled out shortly after. With Michael Pittman Jr. already out, the Steelers are getting a little thin with their wide receiver depth.
