Steelers' Mike Williams: Racks up 24 yards in loss
Mike Williams secured all three of his targets for 24 yards during Saturday's 34-17 loss to Baltimore.Williams continued to see a slightly increased role Saturday since George Pickens (hamstring) was sidelined for a third consecutive game. Williams has racked up double-digit receiving yards in each of the last three matchups, securing seven of nine targets for 75 yards during that time. His fantasy value remains limited, and his role could decrease next week since head coach Mike Tomlin has said that Pickens has a "real chance" to play against Kansas City.

Steelers' Mike Williams: One grab in Week 15
Mike Williams caught one of his two targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Eagles.Williams continues to struggle to take a step forward in Pittsburgh's passing attack since joining the team in Week 10. The veteran wideout played just 15 of the Pittsburgh Steelers' 43 offensive snaps, behind fellow wide receivers Calvin Austin (35) and Van Jefferson (35). Despite No. 1 wideout George Pickens (hamstring) missing his second straight game, Williams was mostly an afterthought in the offensive scheme. The 30-year-old will look to bounce back in Week 16 when the Steelers visit the Ravens.

Steelers' Mike Williams: Elevated volume possible Sunday
Mike Williams is in line for an expanded role in Sunday's Week 15 matchup against the Eagles with George Pickens (hamstring) inactive for the contest.Playing without Pickens in Week 14 against the Browns, Williams resurfaced in the Pittsburgh Steelers' air attack, albeit modestly, with a 3-36-0 line on four targets. However, that represented a significant uptick in involvement for the veteran trade-deadline acquisition, whose only reception in a Steelers uniform prior to that game had been a 32-yard touchdown catch in his Week 10 team debut against the Commanders. Williams again will have added opportunities for targets Sunday, although those will come versus a talented Philadelphia secondary that's allowed an NFC-low 178.5 passing yards per game.

Steelers' Mike Williams: Moderate increase in role
Mike Williams recorded three receptions on four targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 27-14 win over the Browns.The Pittsburgh Steelers had limited pass volume, with Russell Wilson taking to the air only 26 times. Even with an expanded role in the absence of George Pickens (groin), that led to a modest stat line for Williams. Nevertheless, it was his best usage as a Steeler, and he finished tied for second on the team in targets. Even with some slight reason for optimism, it's difficult to trust that Williams will post a meaningful stat line heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Eagles.

Steelers' Mike Williams: No targets in Week 13
Mike Williams wasn't targeted during Sunday's 44-38 win over Cincinnati.Williams recorded a 32-yard reception during his Pittsburgh Steelers debut against Washington in Week 10, but he hasn't been targeted over three games since then. It's especially discouraging that Williams was held without a target during Sunday's high-scoring victory in which Russell Wilson tallied a season-high 414 passing yards. Williams seems unlikely to be a consistent fantasy option late in the regular season given his lack of work in recent weeks.

Steelers' Mike Williams: Set for Steelers debut
Mike Williams is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders.Williams was acquired by the Pittsburgh Steelers on Tuesday prior to the trade deadline, so there was some question of whether he'd be ready to suit up for his new team. Per Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Williams may not see a full complement of snaps, so he may not make much of a statistical impact in his debut with Pittsburgh.

Steelers' Mike Williams: Likely to play Sunday
Mike Williams, whom the Pittsburgh Steelers acquired in a trade with the Jets on Tuesday, is expected to suit up for his new team Sunday versus Washington, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Williams has had less than a full week to familiarize himself with Pittsburgh's offensive playbook, but he looks to have done enough to make his Steelers debut. The veteran wideout struggled in his nine games with New York prior to the trade, totaling just 12 catches on 21 targets for 166 yards and no touchdowns. Williams will look to resurrect his season as the Steelers' No. 2 receiver behind top wideout George Pickens.
