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... Read More
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... Read More
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... Read More

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 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... Read More
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... Read More
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... Read More
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.

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... Read More
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.

Top NFL Betting Expert Picks for Week 13 (12/1/19)
In Week 12, we came out even.

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell hit all three field goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 16-10 win over Cincinnati.

The Steelers Defense Saves A Win Against Bengals
The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense held the Cincinnati Bengals to just 10 points and just 244 yards of offense in Sunday's 16-10 win.

This was about how the defense was expected to perform,... Read More
Vance McDonald Kept Quiet By Bengals
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald caught his only target for a single yard in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Bengals. McDonald was a total non-factor in the offense, especially with the team adopting a run-heavy gameplan. While many drafted him expecting a TE1 return, the 29-year-old hasn't totaled more than 40 yards once all... Read More
Diontae Johnson Catches Three Passes
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson hauled in three of six targets for just 29 yards in Sunday's win over the Bengals. His status was up in the air heading into Week 12 after taking a blow to the head in last week's loss, but he was able to suit up and was on the... Read More
James Washington Scores Team's Only Touchdown
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington caught three of seven targets for 98 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Bengals. Washington's 79-yard touchdown was the team's only touchdown in Week 12, and it was an impressive catch-and-run by the second-year receiver. If JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion, knee) is forced to miss next week's... Read More
Benny Snell Jr. Rushes For 98 Yards
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. took 21 carries for 98 yards and he also caught one pass for five yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The team gave the rookie the workhorse role with James Conner (shoulder) out, which left Jaylen Samuels for scraps in Week 12. While he still... Read More
Jaylen Samuels Kept Quiet By Bengals
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels received just two carries for six yards, while also catching three passes for 26 yards in Sunday's win over Cincinnati. As the Steelers took on a more run-first approach, the scat-back ceded the majority of the work to Benny Snell Jr. and Kerrith Whyte. This was one of Samuels'... Read More
Devlin Hodges Performs Admirably As Backup
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Devlin Hodges completed 5 of 11 passes for 118 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Bengals. The rookie replaced Mason Rudolph in the third after Rudolph went just 8-for-16 for 85 yards and an interception. Hodges made an immediate impact, finding James Washington for a 79-yard catch-and-run. It... Read More
Pittsburgh Steelers Defense The Top Week 12 Option
The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense gets a juicy matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Over the past three games, the unit hasn't allowed more than 330 yards of offense, while also forcing 11 turnovers. TJ Watt and Minkah Fitzpatrick have been the unsung heroes of this defense, and they get to pick on rookie Ryan... Read More
Vance McDonald Has TE1 Upside Against Bengals
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald has a great matchup in Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. With James Conner (shoulder) and JuJu Smith-Schuster listed as out for the game, McDonald is the most experienced pass catcher remaining on offense. He's been targeted seven times in each of the last three games, and while he... Read More
Diontae Johnson Slated To Play Against Bengals
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (concussion) did not carry an injury designation after Friday's practice and will likely be cleared to play against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12. Johnson took a helmet-to-helmet hit in last week's loss and was forced from the game with blood coming out of his ear. Barring not passing... Read More
James Washington In Line To Be Top Target
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington has a chance to be his team's top option in Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Since JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion, knee) will not play, the second-year pass catcher will be in line for extra work. Over his last three games, he's caught 13 of 16 targets for 208 yards... Read More
Jaylen Samuels An RB3 Against Bengals
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels can be considered an RB3 in PPR formats for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. James Conner (shoulder) is officially not playing, so Samuels will likely share time with Trey Edmunds and rookie Benny Snell Jr. When Conner has missed time this year, Samuels has gotten plenty of touches... Read More
James Conner, JuJu Smith-Schuster Will Not Play
Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (shoulder) and wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion, knee) won't be on the field for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Conner had five carries for 10 yards in Week 11 before exiting after re-aggravating his shoulder injury. Meanwhile, Smith-Schuster took a hit to the head, on a pass over... Read More
Mason Rudolph Not An Option Despite Prime Matchup
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph will be without his two top weapons in Sunday's matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. Both James Conner (shoulder) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion, knee) will be out in Week 12, leaving Rudolph with an inexperienced bunch around him. After tossing four interceptions against the Browns a week ago, Rudolph has taken... Read More
