Steelers Stock Watch 2026 – TE Pat Freiermuth
Player: TE Pat Freiermuth Stock Value: Up Reasoning: Five games into the season, Pat Freiermuth has already matched his touchdown total from last season.

Patrick Graham Explains What He Must Change Moving From The Booth To The Field
The Steelers moved Patrick Graham from the booth to the field with plans to stay there, but not without changes for the defensive coordinator.

‘Their Offense Revolves Around Him’: Jaylen Warren On Bucs’ Radar While Prepping For Steelers
While the Steelers have had a Jekyll and Hyde offense this year, Jaylen Warren has been a steady presence everyone is noticing.

Is Jaylen Warren A Top-Five Running Back In NFL?
Is Jaylen Warren a top-five running back in the NFL? Coming off a strong three-game run in which Jaylen Warren repeatedly produced 125-plus yards from scrimmage, where does he rank?

‘Bad Call By Me’: Steelers ST Coach Danny Crossman Takes Blame For Long Colts Return
The Pittsburgh Steelers performed well in Week 5, beating the Indianapolis Colts 34-22. It was a convincing win, but the Steelers didn’t play perfectly.

Film Room: Gabriel Rubio Looks Strong In NFL Debut
I’ll be the first to admit I wasn’t excited to see rookie DT Gabriel Rubio get a helmet for Sunday’s game.
