Pittsburgh Steelers Defense (D/ST, PIT) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense (D/ST) is a fantasy football draft sleeper and ADP value for the 2020 season. We break down their value in fantasy drafts.

CURRENT ADP: Rd. 17.6 (3rd D/ST)

ANALYSIS: The Steelers may have had a lot of QB issues last season after Big Ben Roethlisberger went down with an injury, but their defense was legitimate. Heading into 2020, Pitt is boasting a unit that features LB T.J. Watt, DE Cameron Heyward, LB Devin Bush, CB Joe Haden, S Terrell Edmunds, and S Minkah Fitzpatrick and there is no shortage of talent and any reason to believe this unit can’t thrive once again.

In 2019, Pittsburgh finished as the second-best fantasy defense. They averaged 11.4 fantasy points per game (2nd), allowed 18.95 points per game (5th), averaged 1.25 picks per game (2nd), 1.13 fumble recoveries per game (1st), and 3.38 sacks per game (1st), along with having 20 picks (2nd), 18 fumble recoveries (1st), 54 sacks (1st), 116 quarterback hits (2nd), and four defensive touchdowns (6th).

The Steelers ranked top-five in pretty much all important categories, and that adds fuel to the notion they could easily be the top-ranked fantasy defense heading into the 2020 season. Consider them one of the strongest options to draft.
