Cordarrelle Patterson Finds End Zone Against Ravens

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Cordarrelle Patterson converted his lone target into a 12-yard touchdown catch during Saturday's Week 16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Pat Freiermuth Catches All Three Targets Saturday

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth caught all three of his targets for a total gain of 16 yards during Saturday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris rushed for 42 yards on nine carries during Saturday's Week 16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He also failed to haul in his only target of the game.

Patriots Defense Must Be Avoided In Week 16

The New England Patriots defense/special teams should be avoided in all fantasy leagues ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
