Chris Boswell Perfect In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell hit two field goals and both extra point attempts in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the 49ers. The 28-year-old hit from 46 and 26 yards in the first quarter and he is now a perfect five-for-five on the year. It's great to see the struggles from a season ago have left […]

Steelers Defense Forces Five Turnovers

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense forced five turnovers but allowed 436 yards of offense in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the 49ers. The Steelers didn't necessarily due the damage on defense as the 49ers bobbled several snaps and handoffs, but newly acquired Minkah Fitzpatrick forced a fumble, while TJ Watt and rookie Devin Bush recovered one and […]

Vance McDonald Leaves With Shoulder Injury

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald caught one of his two targets for 10 yards before having to leave Sunday's game with a shoulder injury. McDonald has a history of injuries so it's not surprising to see him sustain an injury. While the severity is unknown, this is definitely a hit to the 29-year-old's value. […]

James Washington Catches Just Two Passes

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington caught just two of his four targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the 49ers. Anticipation was building for the supposed connection that Washington has with quarterback Mason Rudolph from their time at Oklahoma State but that wasn't the case on Sunday. With rookie Diontae Johnson now […]

Diontae Johnson Scores First Career Touchdown

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson caught three of six targets for 52 yards, including a 39-yard touchdown in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. It was the rookie's first career start and he made good on a nice connection from Mason Rudolph. However, Rudolph passed for just 174 yards so it's hard to predict how […]

Jaylen Samuels Receives No Touches In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels was a ghost in the team's 24-20 loss to San Francisco on Sunday. The 23-year-old was expected to take on a bigger role with James Conner suffering from a minor knee injury in last week's game against the Seahawks. However, it was the total opposite as he received just […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Scores 76-Yard Touchdown

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster caught three passes on seven targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the 49ers. Smith-Schuster scored on a 76-yard catch-and-run in the third quarter, but outside of that it was a very quiet day for the 22-year-old. With Mason Rudolph taking the reins of […]

Benny Snell Jr. Gets Three Carries Against San Francisco

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. took three carries for six yards in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. The rookie received minimal work but still got more work than Jaylen Samuels. He's not worthy of any consideration right now but if he continues to be the backup to James Conner, he may have some […]

James Conner Can't Get Going In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner rushed for just 43 yards on 14 carries, while catching four of five targets for just 14 yards in Sunday's 24-20 loss to San Francisco. The offensive line had a tough time creating lanes for Conner and in turn he put up his third straight clunker of the year. […]

Mason Rudolph Held In Check By 49ers

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph completed 14 of 27 passes for 174 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the 49ers. The Steelers were pretty conservative in their gameplan with the signal caller making his first career start. The few times that they did make some deep throws, gold struck for […]

Diontae Johnson Is A Sneaky DFS Play

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson has been targeted nine times through two games, hauling in four of them for 42 yards. Nothing spectacular to look at, but with Donte Moncrief's benching, Johnson has a real shot to see more work. Of his 51 offensive snaps, he's lined up on the outside 38 times, 10 […]

Donte Moncrief Unusable In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Donte Moncrief has five drops through two games. He's likely still feeling the effects of a dislocated finger from the preseason but drops are drops, and him being bench in the second half of Week 2's game paints a picture of where he is on the depth chart. Many are clamoring […]

James Washington Has Great Upside In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington caught just two balls for 23 yards in Week 2, but Week 3 presents an intriguing matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. His former college quarterback, Mason Rudolph, is now throwing to him full-time for the Steelers and if preseason usage has any backing, then this connection should continue […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Draws Tough Card Against 49ers

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster draws a tough matchup in Week 3 against the 49ers on the road. San Francisco has allowed a 56 Catch %  to wide receivers, one of the lowest in the NFL. However, Smith-Schuster should avoid coverage from Richard Sherman and instead get K'Wan Williams, which would give the USC […]

Jaylen Samuels Could See Increased Workload

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels may be in line for more touches in Week 3 against the San Francisco 49ers. The second-year back took 22 offensive snaps last week after James Conner (knee) was forced out of the contest. While it only resulted in four touches for 35 yards, Samuels was clearly the number […]

Mason Rudolph Gets Tough First Start

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph draws his first NFL start on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. The Oklahoma State product got his first taste of the NFL regular season in Week 2, after starting the second half in place of Ben Roethlisberger (elbow). He threw for 112 yards, two scores, and an interception. The Steelers are […]

Randall Cobb (WR, DAL) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team PPR leagues OWNED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's the first time in his career that Randall Cobb isn't in a Packers uniform. However, his new offense might be just as good of a situation for the converted college quarterback. Through two games, Cobb has been his same old efficient self, […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14 team leagues OWNED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: James Washington just became one of the highest priority waiver wire adds with the news that Ben Roethlisberger's (elbow) season is over.

Steelers To Acquire Minkah Fitzpatrick

The Pittsburgh Steelers are acquiring defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick from the Miami Dolphins in exchange for a 2020 first-round pick, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Fitzpatrick requested a trade late last week and it was reported that the Dolphins wanted a first round pick for the 11th overall selection in the 2018 draft. As a […]

Mason Rudolph Set To Be Full-Time Starter

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph just made his NFL debut in Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks, but now he is slated to become the team's full-time starter with the news that Ben Roethlisberger's (elbow) season is over. Rudolph went 12-for-19 for 112 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in a 28-26 loss. JuJu Smith-Schuster's […]

Decision On Ben Roethlisberger Expected Monday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is meeting with doctors Monday to decide if surgery is needed on his throwing elbow, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. The 37-year-old threw for 75 yards in the first half of Sunday's game against the Seahawks. However, Mason Rudolph took over in the second half and Roethlisberger never returned. […]

Christian Vazquez Homers Twice

Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez finished 2-for-4 with two home runs and five runs batted in during Sunday's 6-3 win over Philadelphia. This was Vazquez's biggest game of his career, and it came at a time when he had been cooling off near the end of the most productive season in his five years […]

Brandon Workman Nails Down 14th Save

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Brandon Workman struck out one and walked one to earn his 14th save in Sunday's 6-3 win over Philadelphia. Four of his last five appearances have resulted in a save, and he hasn't allowed a run over his last seven innings pitched. This is all a bit of a late […]

Rick Porcello Allows Two Runs Through Five Innings

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Rick Porcello lasted five innings, while allowing two runs on five hits, one walk, and six strikeouts in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Phillies. After two absolute duds to begin the month of September, Porcello found his groove again on the road. In five of his last eight starts, the […]

Chris Boswell Perfect Against Seahawks

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell made two field goals as well as both extra-point attempts in Sunday's 28-26 loss to Seattle. Boswell made field goals of 41 and 33 yards. He got more chances than in Week 1 against the Patriots but not as many as fantasy owners would have liked. The team's Week 3 […]

Steelers Defense Can't Contain Seahawks

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense gave up 426 yards in a 28-26 loss to Seattle on Sunday. Early on, the defensive front was able to contain the Seahawks running game but as the game went on, Seattle just drowned out Pittsburgh on the ground. Down to the wire, the Steelers weren't able to keep Russell Wilson […]

Ryan Switzer Unheard From In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Ryan Switzer caught one of his four targets but didn't gain a yard in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. Switzer bobbled a punt early in the game and the team seemed to remove him from their game plan after that. It doesn't much matter because there are so many other mouths […]

Diontae Johnson Catches One Pass In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver Diontae Johnson was targeted four times and just corralled one of them for 17 yards in Sunday's loss to Seattle. Johnson is a target to look for down the stretch but with Ben Roethlisberger's (elbow) status in the air, it's hard to know what to expect from this Pittsburgh offense […]
