Steelers' Van Jefferson: Limited work in defeat
Jefferson secured two of three targets for 27 yards during Saturday's 34-17 loss to the Ravens.'
Even though the Steelers were without George Pickens (hamstring) for a third consecutive game Saturday, Jefferson was unable to make a significant impact. Head coach Mike Tomlin said Sunday that Pickens has a "real chance" to return to action against Kansas City on Wednesday, so Jefferson seems unlikely to have a sizable role in Week 17.

Steelers' Van Jefferson: Nonfactor against Philadelphia
Jefferson caught one of his two targets for zero yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Eagles.
Jefferson finished the game tied for the most snaps at wide receiver (35) with Calvin Austin, with both handling an 81 percent snap share in the contest. With fellow wideout George Pickens (hamstring) sidelined for the past two contests, the 28-year-old Jefferson has seen an increase in his playing time but saw just three total targets from quarterback Russell Wilson in that span. Unfortunately, the veteran was unable to get anything going against a stingy Philadelphia secondary. Jefferson will look to bounce back in a Week 16 matchup against the Ravens, however, his already limited usage could take a hit if Pickens is able to return.

Steelers' Van Jefferson: Finds end zone in win
Jefferson secured his lone target for a 10-yard touchdown during Sunday's 27-14 win over Cleveland.
The 28-year-old led Steelers wideouts in offensive snaps Sunday with George Pickens (hamstring) sidelined, but Jefferson failed to really capitalize on his playing time. The veteran WR's yardage total dropped in Week 14 after he racked up 82 receiving yards across the prior two games, but he at least reached the end zone for the first time since Week 7 on a 10-yard touchdown reception midway through the third quarter. While Jefferson has delivered decent production over the last three weeks, he's had a limited target share, securing just four of six targets during that time. He remains a shaky fantasy option.

Steelers' Van Jefferson: Records 43-yard reception in win
Jefferson secured one of three targets for 43 yards during Sunday's 44-38 win over the Bengals.
Jefferson was on the field for 62 percent of Pittsburgh's offensive snaps Sunday, the second-highest mark among the team's wide receivers. While he didn't have many targets against Cincinnati, Jefferson put the Steelers in the red zone with just over six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, which marked the team's longest play of the day. The 2020 second-rounder has secured three of five targets for 82 yards over the last two games, but it seems unlikely that he'll be a reliable fantasy option late in the season since his target share remains low.

Steelers' Van Jefferson: Finishes game with 39 yards
Jefferson secured both of his targets for 39 yards during Thursday's 24-19 loss to the Browns.
Jefferson aggravated a quad injury in the first half of Thursday's primetime matchup but returned after halftime. He recorded a 35-yard reception in the third quarter and finished the game with his second-highest yardage total of the season. However, the 2020 second-rounder had been held without a catch in each of his previous two games, highlighting his inconsistency during the 2024 campaign.

Steelers' Van Jefferson: Returns in second half
Jefferson (quadriceps) returned to Thursday's game against the Browns, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Jefferson was forced out of the game after taking a hit to his quad and aggravating an injury that he had contended with heading into Week 11. He returned in the second half to record a long 35-yard reception midway through the third quarter.

Steelers' Van Jefferson: Aggravates quad injury
Jefferson is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Browns due to a quad injury, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Jefferson dealt with the same issue prior to Week 11 but was ultimately able to suit up. He took a hit late in the first quarter of Thursday's game that seemed to aggravate the issue, and it's now unclear if he'll retake the field.

Steelers' Van Jefferson: Fails to secure lone target
Jefferson was unable to secure his lone target during Sunday's 18-16 win over Baltimore.
Jefferson dealt with a quadriceps injury ahead of Sunday's Week 11 tilt, but he played through the issue against Baltimore. However, he was held without any yards from scrimmage for a second consecutive game. While the 2020 second-rounder has consistently seen the second-most offensive snaps of any Steelers receiver this season behind only George Pickens, Jefferson hasn't been a reliable fantasy contributor and could see his role decrease even more as Mike Williams adjusts to his new team.

Steelers' Van Jefferson: Cleared to play Sunday
Jefferson (quadriceps) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Ravens, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
After missing practice Wednesday, Jefferson was limited Thursday and upgraded to full Friday. The veteran wideout hasn't been a fantasy factor all season and could start losing playing time to trade acquisition Mike Williams as soon as this week.

Steelers' Van Jefferson: Returns to limited practice
Jefferson (quadricep) was limited at practice Thursday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Jefferson missed Wednesday's session, so his upgrade to limited participation a day later bodes well for his chances of being available Sunday against the Ravens. Through nine games this season, Jefferson has logged a 14-139-1 line on 23 targets, a pace that limits the wideout's fantasy utility to deeper formats.

Steelers' Van Jefferson: Fails to practice Wednesday
Jefferson didn't practice Wednesday due to a quadricep injury, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Jefferson will have two more chances to log some practice activity before the Steelers decide whether he'll carry a designation into Sunday's game against the Ravens. If Jefferson ends up being sidelined in Week 11, it could open up more playing time for Mike Williams in his second game with the Steelers, after Williams hauled in a game-winning 32-yard touchdown on his only target in his Pittsburgh debut last Sunday against the Commanders.

Steelers' Van Jefferson: No catches in narrow win
Jefferson failed to secure either of his two targets in Sunday's 28-27 win over Washington.
Jefferson had a season-best performance in the Steelers' final game before their Week 9 bye, securing four of five targets for 62 yards. Although he was on the field for 71 percent of the team's offensive snaps against the Commanders, the 2020 second-rounder was held without a catch for the third time this season. Jefferson hasn't been a consistent fantasy option this year, and his role seems likely to diminish as Mike Williams gets up to speed on the playbook.

Steelers' Van Jefferson: Racks up four catches in Week 8
Jefferson secured four of five targets for 62 yards during Monday's 26-18 win over the Giants.
Jefferson has been inconsistent for most of the 2024 season, but he racked up a season-high 62 receiving yards during Monday's primetime win a week after reaching the end zone for the first time this year. The 2020 second-rounder has had more success with Russell Wilson than he had with Justin Fields, and Jefferson played 80 percent of the team's offensive snaps Monday. Over the first half of the season, he has secured 14 of 21 targets for 139 yards and a touchdown.
