Produces 49 yards in Week 16 win Thielen caught all four of his targets for 49 yards in the Steelers' 29-24 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Impact Thielen's targets, catches and yards were all new season-highs for the 35-year-old wideout. After producing just two catches for 11 yards on two targets in his first two games with the Steelers, Thielen finished second on the team in receiving against Detroit. He's emerging as a clear top-three wide receiver in Pittsburgh, but it's unlikely to translate to useful fantasy numbers outside of deeper formats ahead of next Sunday's game against the Browns.

Held to one target against Miami Thielen secured his lone target for seven yards during Monday's 28-15 win over Miami.

Impact Thielen ranked second among Pittsburgh's wide receivers Monday by playing 58 percent of the team's offensive snaps, but he wasn't heavily involved in the passing game. The 35-year-old has seen an uptick in playing time since being waived by Minnesota and subsequently claimed by Pittsburgh, but he's been targeted just once in each of his first two appearances with his new team. Despite his increased snap counts, Thielen's fantasy potential remains limited late in the regular season.

Held to one catch in team debut Thielen secured his lone target for four yards during Sunday's 27-22 win over the Ravens.

Impact Although Thielen's target share was low during Sunday's Week 14 win, it was encouraging that he was on the field for 48 percent of the team's offensive snaps after being claimed off waivers by the Steelers on Tuesday. The 35-year-old had a disappointing start to the year with the Vikings, securing just eight of 18 targets for 69 yards. While he could have an opportunity to see more playing time in Pittsburgh down the stretch ahead of his expected retirement during the offseason, the Steelers' passing game has struggled to produce much success under Aaron Rodgers, so Thielen's fantasy upside could remain limited.

Set for Steelers debut Thielen is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

Impact Thielen was claimed off waivers by the Steelers on Tuesday and will now be active just five days later. Pittsburgh has been without a viable No. 2 receiver behind DK Metcalf all season, so Thielen should be in for a significant role immediately. Due to limited pass volume and his own declining skillset, that role still isn't likely to lead to fantasy relevance in most formats.

Scooped up by Pittsburgh The Steelers claimed Thielen off waivers from the Vikings on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact The oldest active receiver in the NFL, the 35-year-old Thielen didn't appear to have much juice left during his second stint in Minnesota earlier this season. He managed just eight receptions for 69 yards on 18 targets in 11 appearances before the Vikings made him a healthy inactive for this past Sunday's loss to Seattle. After requesting and being granted his release, Thielen has caught on with a Steelers team lacking in quality receiver depth beyond No. 1 option DK Metcalf, so he could have an immediate opportunity to push the likes of Calvin Austin, Roman Wilson and Ben Skowronek for reps. Though he'll benefit from an upgrade in quarterback play in Pittsburgh with Aaron Rodgers under center, Thielen is still unlikely to see enough of a jump in his production in his new locale to warrant much fantasy interest.
