Vance McDonald Ruled Out Against Bills

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (concussion) will not play in Week 15 against the Buffalo Bills, the team announced on Friday. McDonald had to exit last Sunday's game and only practiced in limited fashion on Thursday, so it's no surprise he couldn't pass the league's protocol. Nick Vannett will take over in his place […]

Diontae Johnson A Risky Play In Week 15

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson is likely better off staying on your bench in the fantasy semifinals. A matchup with the Buffalo Bills isn't a positive one for a rookie wide receiver with a third-string rookie quarterback passing to him. Johnson had a big game last week, catching six passes for 60 yards a […]

James Washington Has Tough Matchup On Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington will serve as the team's WR1 against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, since JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) suffered a setback is officially listed as “out.” The second-year man out of Oklahoma State has proven capable of producing over the last five weeks, catching 20 of 27 targets for 381 yards […]

Benny Snell Jr. Tough To Trust Against Bills

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. will likely return to his role of spelling James Conner (shoulder) does in fact return for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. While Conner is listed as questionable, Snell has done well in place of the injured back who missed three games. However, the rookie will likely take […]

Devlin Hodges Not An Option Against Bills

Pittsburgh Steelers Quarterback Devlin Hodges can be safely left on waivers for a Week 15 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. The rookie hasn't thrown for over 212 yards once this season and while he's thrown a touchdown in each of his last three games, he hasn't thrown more than one in any game. While James […]

Top NFL Betting Expert Picks For Week 15 (12-15-19)

Week 14 was a weird one in the NFL as several key players went down for the rest of the year. There were also quite a few upsets that made the playoff picture a bit more interesting as we wind down the year. A big thanks to Chris Wassel for filling in for me last […]

Chris Boswell Connects On All Five Attempts

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell hit all three field goals and both extra-point attempts in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Cardinals. The 28-year-old has missed just twice all season, and while he doesn't always boot 50-plus yard field goals, his consistency has made him a fantasy asset for leagues that use the position. In Week […]

The Steelers Defense Forces Three Interceptions

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense held the Arizona Cardinals to just 17 points and 236 yards of offense in their 23-17 victory on Sunday. Joe Haden picked off two passes, while TJ Watt also recorded his second interception of the season. This marks the 11th time in their 13 games that they have recorded multiple turnovers […]

Diontae Johnson Catches Fourth Career Touchdown

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson was busy in Sunday’s win over the Cardinals, catching six of eight targets for 60 yards and a touchdown. The rookie was a prime target for Devlin Hodges and the Toledo product did a good job making plays when called upon. If you were bold enough to start him, […]

James Washington Posts Modest Game

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington caught all four targets for 33 yards in Sunday’s 23-17 win over Arizona. Washington has done a solid job serving as the Steelers’ WR1 in JuJu Smith-Schuster’s (knee) three-week absence, catching 11 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns. Against the porous Cardinals secondary, more would have been nice […]

Jaylen Samuels' Struggles Continue

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels rushed for 16 yards on seven carries, while catching two passes for 18 yards in Sunday’s 23-17 win over Arizona. Samuels is supposed to be the pass-catching back in the offense but his recent stat line doesn’t show it. The second-year back has 15 receptions for just 96 yards […]

Benny Snell Jr. Quiet In Week 14

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. rushed for 41 yards on 16 carries in Sunday’s win over the Arizona Cardinals. Snell is a week removed from scoring his first NFL touchdown but this wasn’t the output expected for the rookie in Week 14. It will be interesting to see if James Conner (shoulder) can […]

Devlin Hodges Does Enough To Win

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Devlin Hodges completed 16 of 19 passes for 152 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s 23-17 win over Arizona. It’s clear the Steelers won’t rely on Hodges to win them games, they just need him to not lose them contests as their run towards the playoffs continues. The rookie from Samford hasn’t […]

Vance McDonald Leaves With Possible Concussion

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (concussion) left Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals for further testing and is listed as questionable to return. The 29-year-old caught his only target for three yards in the game, which is a disappointing performance against the defense who has allowed 13 touchdowns to tight ends. It will be […]

Steelers Defense Should Feast In Week 14

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense gets to travel and face off with the Arizona Cardinals in Week 14. This unit has exploded onto the scene this year, thanks to their 43 sacks, 15 interceptions, and three defensive touchdowns. They should improve on those stats on Sunday, as the Cardinals offensive line has allowed 42 sacks on […]

Vance McDonald A TE1 Hopeful Against Cardinals

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald has been quiet this season, not eclipsing over 40 yards receiving in any one game and catching just three touchdowns. However, if there was ever a breakout game, it would be the Week 14 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. They house the worst defense to opposing tight ends, as […]

Diontae Johnson A DFS Dart Throw Against Arizona

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (illness) was a full practice participant on Thursday and Friday and should be an all-go against the Cardinals on Sunday. The rookie has been pretty cold over the last five weeks, catching just 11 of 23 targets for 127 yards, but a matchup with the Arizona Cardinals in Week […]

James Washington Has WR2 Upside In Week 14

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington has scored a touchdown in three of the last four games and is primed for a perfect fantasy matchup against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. The second-year receiver has performed admirably in JuJu Smith-Schuster's (knee) absence and seems to have established a solid connection with quarterback Devlin Hodges. Arizona […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Won't Play In Week 14

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) will miss a third-consecutive game against the Arizona Cardinals. Smith-Schuster hasn't participated in a practice since suffering a concussion and knee injury against the Browns in Week 11. However, he's shed the concussion tag but the knee injury is clearly still an issue. Look for James Washington and […]

Jaylen Samuels Not An Option Against Cardinals

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels has a solid matchup this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. However, the second-year back hasn't been very productive of late and shouldn't be considered for your fantasy lineups in Week 14. Over the last three games without James Conner (shoulder), Samuels has just 64 yards on 14 carries, while […]

Benny Snell Jr. Primed For Big Day Against Cardinals

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. scored his first career touchdown in last week's win over the Cleveland Browns. Since James Conner (shoulder) is ruled out again, Snell gets a matchup with the Arizona Cardinals Defense that allows 4.2 yards per carry. The Kentucky product should see the lionshare of carries, whereas Jaylen Samuels […]

Devlin Hodges Gets Prime Matchup Against Cardinals

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Devlin Hodges staved off the Cleveland Browns a week ago, winning 20-13 after passing for 212 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. "Duck" is flying into the hearts of Steeler fans, but unfortunately he doesn't deliver much fantasy appeal, even in a matchup against the league-worst Arizona Cardinals Defense. The Cardinals allow […]

Top College Football Betting Expert Picks For Championship Week (12/6/19)

With the busy schedule surrounding Thanksgiving week, I took a break from college football betting for the final week of the season. However, we're back for conference championship weekend and this should really be an exciting week of football. Week 13 Picks: 1-2 (33%) 2019-20 Picks: 20-21 (49%) I'm here to breakdown each team's spot, […]

Chris Boswell Hits Both Field-Goal Attempts

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell hit both of his field goal attempts along with two extra points in Sunday’s 20-13 win over Cleveland. The 29-year-old has missed just twice all year and is having a career-redeeming season after last year's struggles. He should get a similar amount of opportunities in Week 14 when the Steelers […]

The Steelers Defense Forces Two More Turnovers

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense forced a fumble and an interception in Sunday’s 20-13 win over the Browns. Bud Dupree continued his career year with a strip sack in the third quarter, which was followed by an interception to end the game by Joe Haden. This defensive unit has now forced at least two turnovers in […]

Vance McDonald Hauls In Three Passes

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald caught all three of his targets for 21 yards in the Week 13 victory over the Browns. After the near goose egg a week ago, McDonald put up a modest stat line on Sunday. He’s now caught at least three passes in five of the last six games, but […]

Diontae Johnson Has Quiet Day

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson caught just one of his five targets for 14 yards in Sunday’s 20-13 win over Cleveland. This wasn’t a great day for the rookie, by any means, despite leading the team in looks. With JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion, knee) out again in Week 13, the Steelers needed more from the […]

James Washington Hauls In Touchdown Against Browns

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington caught all four of his targets for 111 yards and a touchdown in the 20-13 victory over the Cleveland Browns. This was his third touchdown in the last four games and the second-year receiver has now been targeted 39 times in the last seven games. With JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion, […]

Jaylen Samuels Quiet Against Browns

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels rushed for 32 yards on seven carries, while also catching both targets for 22 yards in Sunday’s 20-13 win over Cleveland. The second-year back served as the wildcat quarterback, which accounted for most of his rushing attempts in Week 13. It was Benny Snell Jr. that again took on […]

Benny Snell Jr. Scores First Career Touchdown

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. took 16 carries for 63 yards and a score, while also catching one pass for four yards in Sunday’s win over the Cleveland Browns. This is the third game this season where he has earned the bulk of carries on offense and the Kentucky product has performed admirably. […]
