Chris Boswell Poised to Bounce Back in Week 14

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell converted his lone extra-point try in a Week 13 loss to the Buffalo Bills. It was his second consecutive game without a field goal attempt, but fantasy managers should not be discouraged heading into a Week 14 clash with the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. This is an extremely favorable matchup on […]

Steelers D/ST a Risky Fantasy Option Against Ravens

The Pittsburgh Steelers surrendered 20 points and 372 yards to the Buffalo Bills in Week 13, recording one interception and one fumble recovery in the loss.

Darnell Washington a Deep-League Streaming Option in Week 14

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington led the team in receiving yards last week and should remain involved against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 14. While the Ravens have been solid against opposing tight ends this season, Washington's blend of size and athleticism may be important for Pittsburgh to keep pace with its division rival. […]

Calvin Austin III Hard to Trust in Week 14

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III went catchless on two targets in Week 13 and will look to carve out a larger role against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 14. Baltimore allows the 10th-most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers, but while the matchup is appealing, Austin's role is becoming increasingly uncertain. […]

DK Metcalf Draws Plus Matchup Against Ravens

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf has been held below 50 receiving yards in five straight games but will hope to turn things around against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 14. Baltimore has been vulnerable to receivers this season, allowing the 10th-most fantasy points, the third-most targets, the ninth-most receptions, and the eighth-most receiving touchdowns […]

Kenneth Gainwell Carries PPR Flex Value in Week 14

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell had just seven touches in last week's loss but will look to bounce back against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 14. Despite the light workload in Week 13, Gainwell logged a 42% snap share and posted 25 receiving yards, good enough for third-most on the Steelers. His contributions in […]

Jaylen Warren a Rock-Solid RB2 Against Baltimore

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren has scored in two consecutive contests and will look to keep that momentum going in a Week 14 road matchup with the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens have been below average against the run this season, surrendering over 4.4 yards per carry and 11 rushing touchdowns. Baltimore has also struggled […]

Aaron Rodgers Just a Low-End QB2 in Week 14

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) was a full participant in Friday's practice and is set to face the division-rival Baltimore Ravens in Week 14. Rodgers struggled in a Week 13 loss to the Buffalo Bills, but this matchup is much more favorable on paper. Although the Ravens have improved defensively in recent weeks, they […]

Can Kenneth Gainwell Maintain a Consistent Role?

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell saw just five carries for 20 yards and secured two of his three targets for 25 yards in a 26-7 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Is DK Metcalf a Must-Bench Moving Forward?

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf caught three of his five targets for 32 yards in a 26-7 loss to the Buffalo Bills. While he managed to find the end zone in Week 12, Metcalf has now gone five consecutive games without surpassing 50 receiving yards.

Is Jaylen Warren's Ceiling Capped by Inefficient Offense?

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren handled 10 carries for 35 yards and a touchdown while adding two receptions for nine yards on four targets in a Week 13 loss to the Buffalo Bills. In a game where almost everything went wrong for Pittsburgh, Warren was one of the lone bright spots. He gave the […]

Can Aaron Rodgers Get Back on Track Ahead of Fantasy Playoffs?

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) completed 10 of his 21 pass attempts for 117 scoreless yards in a 26-7 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Although he avoided throwing an interception, he committed a costly fumble early in the third quarter that was returned for a Buffalo touchdown. Rodgers appeared shaken up on the play […]

Steelers D/ST a Shaky Option Against Buffalo

The Pittsburgh Steelers logged one sack, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and a defensive touchdown while surrendering 31 points to the Chicago Bears in a Week 12 loss. Though the Steelers produced several splash plays, including a strip-sack by T.J. Watt that Nick Herbig recovered in Chicago's end zone, the unit struggled to keep […]

Chris Boswell a Must-Start at Home in Week 13

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was quiet in last week's loss to the Chicago Bears, but he should bounce back in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills. Although the Bills haven't given up a ton of fantasy production to kickers, their defense has been subpar overall, allowing nearly 23 points per game. With this contest […]

Roman Wilson Unlikely to Produce for Fantasy Managers

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson was held without a catch last week and will look to be more involved against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Though Wilson has been quiet more often than not this season, it's worth noting that Mason Rudolph drew the start at quarterback in Week 12. With Aaron Rodgers (wrist) […]

Pat Freiermuth Faces Toughest Test of Season Against Bills

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth returned to the end zone last week and will hope for similar success in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills. Unfortunately, he draws the toughest possible matchup. Buffalo has held opposing tight ends to the fewest fantasy points, receptions, yards, and touchdowns this season. While Freiermuth has been more […]

DK Metcalf Difficult to Trust Against Buffalo

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf (ankle) is off the injury report and ready to go for a Week 13 showdown with the Buffalo Bills. Although Metcalf found the end zone last week, he hasn't topped 50 receiving yards in a game since Week 8 and has become increasingly unreliable for fantasy purposes. The Bills […]

Aaron Rodgers Draws Tough Matchup in Week 13

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) missed last week's contest but is set to return at home against the Buffalo Bills. While Buffalo has been vulnerable on the ground, its pass defense has been elite, limiting opposing quarterbacks to the fewest passing yards, the fourth-fewest passing touchdowns, and the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game. Unless […]

Kenneth Gainwell Offers Flex Appeal Against Bills

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell has been on a hot streak lately and will look to carry that momentum into a Week 13 meeting with the Buffalo Bills. The Bills have struggled to stop the run this season, allowing the third-most fantasy points and second-most yards per attempt to opposing running backs. However, they […]

Jaylen Warren Draws Perfect Matchup in Week 13

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren had a solid game last week and will look to build on that performance against the Buffalo Bills in Week 13. Buffalo has been solid against the pass but extremely vulnerable on the ground, surrendering the third-most rushing yards, the second-most yards per carry, and the third-most fantasy points […]

Dynasty Fantasy Football Trade Targets: Week 13 Buy Low, Sell High Candidates

Dynasty fantasy football is incredibly fun for many reasons, but perhaps the best thing about dynasty is its robust, year-long trade market. Whether you're contending, rebuilding, or retooling in the offseason, there is always a deal to be made and (hopefully) an interested trade partner. Although there are plenty of dynasty leagues with trade deadlines, […]

Pat Freiermuth Bounces Back With Touchdown Against Bears

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth caught all three of his targets for 19 receiving yards and a touchdown in a Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears. The 27-year-old secured Mason Rudolph's lone passing score, a three-yard strike in the fourth quarter. Though Freiermuth ranks second on the Steelers in receiving yards and touchdowns, […]

Is Calvin Austin III Worth a Look After Encouraging Week 12 Usage?

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III hauled in four of his five targets for 36 yards in a 31-28 loss to the Chicago Bears. Austin appeared to be losing playing time to Roman Wilson in Week 11, but reclaimed a larger role in Week 12 and paced all Steelers in receiving yards. It's possible […]

Roman Wilson Still Seeing Inconsistent Utilization

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson failed to secure either of his targets in a Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears. After logging a 57% snap share in Week 11, the second-year pro took the field for just 28% of Pittsburgh's offensive snaps. Meanwhile, Calvin Austin III, whose playing time dipped the week prior, […]

Is Jaylen Warren Still the RB1 in Pittsburgh?

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren turned 18 carries into 68 yards and a touchdown in a Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears. For the first time this season, he was not targeted in the passing game. Backfield mate Kenneth Gainwell, on the other hand, hauled in all six of his targets and added […]

Steelers D/ST Back on Fantasy Radar in Week 12

The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense showed up in a big way last week, recording one sack, one fumble recovery, one interception, and two defensive scores while surrendering just 12 points to the Cincinnati Bengals. Safety Kyle Dugger came away with a pick that he returned 73 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter, while cornerback […]

Chris Boswell a Top-Three Fantasy Option Against Chicago

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell made both of his field goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries in a 34-12 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. He'll look to stay perfect in a Week 12 road matchup with the Chicago Bears. Chicago surrenders the seventh-most points per game to opponents, and […]

Jonnu Smith Offers Little Fantasy Value Against Bears

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith failed to catch a single pass in Week 11, marking his first game without a reception since Week 4 of last season. Though the matchup against the Chicago Bears is favorable, there is little reason to expect Smith to bounce back to fantasy relevance in Week 12. The Steelers […]

Pat Freiermuth Not a Very Strong Option in Week 12

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth had just one reception last week against the Cincinnati Bengals, a team that he has dominated throughout his career. His role in the offense remains incredibly unpredictable heading into a Week 12 bout with the Chicago Bears. The Steelers are seemingly taking a hot-hand approach at the tight end […]

Roman Wilson a Deep-League Dart Throw in Favorable Matchup

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson has seen an uptick in playing time recently and could surprise against the Chicago Bears in Week 12. This is a great matchup for Wilson, with Chicago surrendering the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing receivers this season. It's unclear at this point if Aaron Rodgers (wrist) will […]
