In Week 11, the Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive strategy under Arthur Smith came under scrutiny as they leaned heavily on their running game, limiting the effectiveness of receivers like Mike Williams. Despite an uptick in snaps, Williams remains overshadowed by George Pickens as the team prepares for a challenging schedule.
Meanwhile, Ricky Pearsall of the San Francisco 49ers faced disappointment after a breakout week, failing to catch a pass against the Seattle Seahawks. Jaylen Warren of the Steelers had a solid performance, while Khalil Herbert of the Cincinnati Bengals struggled for touches. Alexander Mattison's injury adds uncertainty to his role with the Las Vegas Raiders, while Mack Hollins of the Buffalo Bills remains a risky waiver claim.
