The Steelers D/ST allowed 27 points, 282 passing yards, and 83 rushing yards in a 30-27 win over the Bengals.
Fantasy Impact: The Steelers' defense tallied one sack and one fumble recovery in the win Sunday. The fumble recovery came on the final drive for the Bengals to help seal the win for the Steelers. The defense will now prepare for the Browns in Week 4.

Chris Boswell connected on 3-of-3 field goal attempts and 3-of-3 extra point attempts in a 30-27 win over the Bengals.
Fantasy Impact: Boswell had a much needed bounce back performance after missing kicks in each of his first two games. The veteran made field goals from 33, 36, and 44 yards out to help pace the Steelers to a win. Boswell and the Steelers will take on the Browns in Week 4.

Darnell Washington caught 3-of-4 targets for 67 yards in a 30-27 win over the Bengals.
Fantasy Impact: Washington saw the bulk of his production come on a 47-yard reception. The 25-year-old continues to compete with Pat Freiermuth for targets, with neither option being trustworthy heading into a Week 4 matchup with the Browns.

Pat Freiermuth caught 2-of-4 targets for 30 yards in a 30-27 win over the Bengals.
Fantasy Impact: Freiermuth has yet to find consistent success this season, and has seen his production dip each week since the season opener. The 27-year-old veteran will continue to compete with Darnell Washington for targets as the Steelers take on the Browns in Week 4.

Ben Skowronek caught his lone target for 23 yards and a touchdown in a 30-27 win over the Bengals.
Fantasy Impact: The 29-year-old veteran made the most of his lone target Sunday. Fantasy managers can leave Skowronek on the waiver wire for now.

Michael Pittman Jr. caught 2-of-5 targets for 16 yards in a 30-27 win over the Bengals.
Fantasy Impact: Pittman was making his return from a foot injury that sidelined him in Week 2. The expectation is that Pittman would immediately eat into Roman Wilson's playing time, but Wilson turned in a 3-60-1 performance in the win. Fantasy managers may want to avoid Pittman in Week 4 against the Browns.

Germie Bernard caught his lone target for 14 yards in a 30-27 win over the Bengals.
Fantasy Impact: Bernard saw his target share free fall to just one target after seeing eight last week against the Patriots. The 22-year-old should remain out of lineups until us usage becomes more clear.

Roman Wilson caught 3-of-6 targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in a 30-27 win over the Bengals.
Fantasy Impact: Wilson was expected to potentially see his playing time fall with the return of Michael Pittman, but the 25-year-old tallied his first touchdown of the season and a season high in receiving yards. Wilson will look to build on this performance against the Browns in Week 4.

DK Metcalf caught 3-of-5 targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in a 30-27 win over the Bengals.
Fantasy Impact: Metcalf found the end zone on a six-yard connection with Aaron Rodgers in the third quarter. The yardage totals and receptions have not been there for Metcalf yet this season, but he will look for an uptick in production against the Browns in Week 4.

Jaylen Warren rushed for 127 yards on 17 carries in a 30-27 win over the Bengals. He caught 3-of-4 targets for 49 yards.
Fantasy Impact: Warren averaged 7.5 yards per carry and he dominated the rushing attempts with Rico Dowdle (toe) inactive Sunday. With the Steelers taking on the Browns on Thursday, Warren could be in line for a similar workload if Dowdle is unable to play.

Aaron Rodgers completed 19-of-34 passes for 292 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception in a 30-27 win over the Bengals.
Fantasy Impact: Rodgers turned in his best performance of the season so far, averaging 8.6 yards per pass attempt in the win. He was able to find Roman Wilson, DK Metcalf, and Ben Skowronek for his three touchdown passes. Rodgers and the Steelers will look to build on this strong performance against the Browns in Week 4.

Jamel Dean (ankle) will be listed as questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. (Source: Alan Saunders on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: The veteran is still on Pittsburgh's injury report due to an ankle issue and is uncertain to play in Week 3 as a result. If he's ruled out, the Steelers' secondary will be weaker than usual against the Bengals, doubly so if Joey Porter Jr. (back) is also ruled out ahead of game time.

Troy Fautanu (ankle) is listed questionable for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. (Source: Pittsburgh Steelers)
Fantasy Impact: The Steelers are at risk of playing without their starting left tackle on Sunday, as Fautanu is currently questionable to play due to an ankle injury. His absence would be a big hit to Pittsburgh's offense in an already-tough road matchup in Week 2.

Kaleb Johnson is being traded to the Green Bay Packers by the Pittsburgh Steelers according to Tom Pelissero. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter )
Fantasy Impact: Details of the trade are still being finalized between the two organizations, with Johnson receiving the fresh start the running back desperately needs after falling out of favor in a Pittsburgh backfield that will be led by the duo of Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle this upcoming season. Johnson’s role should become clearer as the National Football League continues their investigation into No. 1 running back Josh Jacobs, potentially resulting in a backup opportunity behind current No. 2 option MarShawn Lloyd.
