2025 Steelers Week 10 Fantasy Football Recap - Benton and Highsmith Continue Their Rise Up The Charts

The Pittsburgh Steelers turned in one of their ugliest performances of the season, falling 25–10 to the Los Angeles Chargers this past Sunday. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers delivered a forgettable outing, leaving fantasy managers shaking their heads. Anyone who had pieces of the Steelers’ offense in their lineup likely felt the sting, as the unit produced little more than disappointment across the board.

Offensive Fantasy Moves -

Aaron Rodgers (QB, Steelers) To say Aaron Rodgers had a game to forget would be an understatement. His Week 11 performance against the Chargers marked the third time this season he’s thrown multiple interceptions. Rodgers looked unusually shaky in the pocket, and his accuracy was a glaring issue throughout the contest. He finished with just 161 passing yards on 16 completions and posted a dismal QBR of 4.6. Despite the rough outing, Rodgers somehow clings to QB17 overall with 135.9 fantasy points.

Jaylen Warren (RB, Steelers) One of the few bright spots for Pittsburgh was Jaylen Warren, who proved to be the team’s most reliable offensive weapon against Los Angeles. Warren racked up 90 total yards (70 rushing, 21 receiving) and came through with timely plays when the Steelers needed them most. Even with the solid effort, Warren’s fantasy standing remains unchanged at RB20 with 109.8 points.

Roman Wilson (WR, Steelers) Second-year wideout Roman Wilson finally cracked the Top 100, thanks to his efficient outing in Week 11. Wilson hauled in two receptions for 35 yards and scored the Steelers’ lone touchdown. That performance earns him his debut at WR93 with 35.9 fantasy points.

Defensive Fantasy Movers -

Alex Highsmith (LB, Steelers) For the second straight week, Alex Highsmith delivered a dominant performance, registering multiple sacks and proving to be the Steelers’ most impactful defender on the field. A healthy Highsmith is a difference-maker not only for Pittsburgh but also for fantasy managers. He finished with two sacks and three quarterback hits, climbing 10 spots to LB60 with 53.6 fantasy points.

Nick Herbig (LB, Steelers) After a quiet Week 9, Nick Herbig bounced back in a big way. He recorded a sack, two tackles for loss, and a quarterback hit, showcasing his disruptive ability once again. His strong outing earned him a five-spot jump, landing at LB38 with 64.9 fantasy points.

Keeanu Benton (DL, Steelers) Right alongside Highsmith, Keeanu Benton continued his breakout campaign with another impressive showing. Against the Chargers, Benton tallied seven total tackles, including two for loss, plus a sack and two quarterback hits. His performance propelled him up 22 spots to DL33 with 44.8 fantasy points. Fantasy managers should take note—if Benton isn’t already on your roster, now is the perfect time to add him.
