The Steelers sit at 3-1 after four games and a bye week, with four clear questions shaping their second half. Freiermuth needs a bigger role in the passing game, while the running back depth chart must settle between Warren and Gainwell. A strategic WR addition could be on the agenda if the aerial attack stalls, and Nick Herbig deserves the chance to start opposite TJ Watt to maximize pressure.

If these moves click, Pittsburgh can maintain its division edge and momentum through a demanding 13-game stretch, even as the health of Calvin Austin III and the line’s performance influence how aggressively they chase upgrades and lineup tweaks.

Week 5 fantasy RB updates center on Bucky Irving's ankle/foot soreness for Tampa Bay, with the Buccaneers listing him as questionable. If Irving sits, Rachaad White and Sean Tucker would soak up more work. Joe Mixon is out for Week 5 in Houston, shifting backfield duties to Woody Marks with a longer term uncertainty. Jaylen Warren's Week 5 status remains murky after a knee issue, making Week 6 a key date. Tyjae Spears is expected to return within the 21 day window, potentially lifting Titans depth when activated. Miles Sanders is trending toward playing for Dallas against the Jets; Braelon Allen faces an IR path, elevating Isaiah Davis. Tyler Goodson, Sione Vaki, Kene Nwangwu, and Nathan Carter are also on the injury radar.
