Killebrew is doubtful with a knee issue, a depth concern for Pittsburgh’s special teams and defense that could influence overall roster usage for Thursday’s TNF tilt.

Killebrew suffered a serious knee injury on a Browns kickoff in Week 6, forcing him out of the game. A two-time Pro Bowler and Steelers special-teams captain, his absence leaves a leadership vacuum and tests depth on a unit that has driven elite field-position metrics.

Killebrew is the depth option behind Elliott and Clark. With Elliott out, his role could see occasional upticks in run fits and special teams, offering speculative upside in deeper leagues, especially if injuries persist and the Steelers rotate safeties more aggressively.

Killebrew named special teams captain, signaling emphasis on field position and return game energy. His leadership could drive improved ST performance, with potential indirect fantasy gains through better field position and defensive-start opportunities.

Killebrew leads special teams, offering leadership and consistent coverage, with potential sleeper value in leagues that score special teams or return opportunities.
