Fantasy Football Trade Targets: Week 7 Buy Low, Sell High Candidates
Through six weeks of the NFL season, there isn't a team that feels truly unbeatable. One of the two 5-1 teams has an injury report the length of a CVS receipt, and the other is led by Daniel Jones. For what it's worth, I believe in both of these squads, but the potential for either […]

Steelers D/ST in Play for Week 7 Divisional Clash
The Pittsburgh Steelers defense held the Cleveland Browns to just nine points while recording six sacks in their Week 6 victory. Although Pittsburgh surprisingly came up empty in the turnover department, it was still a dominant showing against a division rival. The Steelers now draw another AFC North foe, the Cincinnati Bengals, on Thursday Night […]

Chris Boswell Remains A Top Fantasy Option on TNF
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell drilled both of his extra-point tries and went 3-for-4 on field-goal attempts in a Week 6 win over the Cleveland Browns. His lone miss came on a 54-yard try, as the 11th-year veteran slipped on less-than-ideal field conditions. Boswell should remain steady as usual against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals on […]

Jonnu Smith Has Opportunity to Rebound on Thursday Night
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith has seen underwhelming utilization through his first five games with the team but will look to make a bigger impact against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7. The Bengals have given up the second-most targets and the most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends this year, leaving […]

Pat Freiermuth Not A Fantasy Option Despite Soft Matchup
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth saw just one target in last week's win and will look to earn more opportunities against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night. It's worth noting that this is an excellent matchup for all of Pittsburgh's tight ends, as Cincinnati surrenders the most fantasy points per game to the position. […]

DK Metcalf Should Keep Rolling Against Division Rival
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf has found the end zone in four consecutive games and should remain a strong fantasy option against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7. Though they've been more vulnerable on the ground than through the air, the Bengals have still allowed the 12th-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts. […]

Kenneth Gainwell Offers Some Low-End Flex Value in Week 7
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell earned 12 opportunities in last week's win over the Cleveland Browns and should remain involved in another divisional matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7. With Jaylen Warren handling RB1 duties, Gainwell can't expect a heavy workload, but he could still make some noise for fantasy purposes. Cincinnati […]

Jaylen Warren Worth Starting as RB2 on TNF
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren returned from a knee injury in Week 6 and is set to be heavily featured against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7. Cincinnati has given up 10 total touchdowns to opposing running backs this season, tied for the most in the NFL. The Bengals have also allowed a running […]

Aaron Rodgers Gets Plus Matchup in Week 7
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has played turnover-free football over his past two games and is primed for another solid showing against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night. Cincinnati's defense has struggled this season, allowing the second-most passing yards and 11th-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. Although he'll once again be without wide […]

Jonnu Smith Continues Downward Trend
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith logged just three catches for 18 yards on four targets in a 23-9 win over the Cleveland Browns. Coming out of a Week 5 bye, it was fair to wonder if Pittsburgh would try to get Smith more involved in its offense after acquiring him over the summer. Unfortunately, […]

Darnell Washington Becoming A Fantasy Option?
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington came down with three of his five targets for 62 yards in a Week 6 victory against the Cleveland Browns. While it marked the second straight contest in which Washington led Pittsburgh's tight end room in snaps, it was his first time besting both Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth […]

Jaylen Warren Poised For Week 7 Breakout?
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren handled 11 carries for 52 yards and hauled in both of his targets for 11 yards in a Week 6 win over the Cleveland Browns. Although he split touches with Kenneth Gainwell, Warren was the more efficient runner and led the RB room in snaps. This is encouraging for […]

Aaron Rodgers Trending Up Heading Into Week 7
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 21 of his 30 pass attempts for 235 yards and two touchdowns in a 23-9 victory over the Cleveland Browns. It was his best fantasy showing since the season opener, in which he threw four touchdown passes. Though fantasy managers can't expect Rodgers to be a steady starting option, […]

Steelers D/ST a Top Option Against Cleveland
The Pittsburgh Steelers, fresh off their Week 5 bye, are getting healthier on defense ahead of a divisional clash with the Cleveland Browns. Although defensive back Jalen Ramsey (hamstring) is questionable to suit up, cornerback Joey Porter Jr. (hamstring) and linebacker Alex Highsmith (ankle) are set to return after missing multiple games. Pittsburgh's defense wreaked […]

Chris Boswell Draws Tough Matchup In Week 6
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell got off to a hot start this season but cooled off for fantasy purposes with two underwhelming outings before the team's Week 5 bye. He'll look to get back on track against the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. The Browns have held kickers to the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game, […]

Pat Freiermuth's Role Uncertain Coming Out of Bye
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth has been underwhelming in his fifth professional season and will look to turn things around against the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. With wide receiver Calvin Austin III (shoulder) sidelined this week, quarterback Aaron Rodgers could target his tight ends more frequently, but it's difficult to predict who will […]

Jonnu Smith Difficult to Trust Against Cleveland
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith turned in three straight games with fewer than five fantasy points before the team's Week 5 bye and will hope to be more involved in a Week 6 bout with the Cleveland Browns. Though the Browns have allowed the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends, Smith […]

Ben Skowronek A Deep Sleeper in Week 6
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Ben Skowronek (illness) was limited in practice earlier this week but carries no injury designation into a Week 6 showdown with the Cleveland Browns. Although the fifth-year pro has just one reception this season, he could be in line for additional opportunities on Sunday with Calvin Austin III (shoulder) sidelined. Scotty […]

DK Metcalf A Fantasy WR2 With Upside Against Browns
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf is fresh off a Week 5 bye and set to take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. Two weeks ago, Metcalf came through with his best showing yet in the black and gold, hanging 126 yards and a touchdown on the Minnesota Vikings. With fellow wideout Calvin Austin […]

Kenneth Gainwell's Fantasy Value Takes a Hit in Week 6
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell played incredibly well in Week 4 and will return from a bye to face the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. Though he should still be involved, the return of Jaylen Warren (knee) certainly puts a cap on Gainwell's upside. To make matters worse, Gainwell will need to overcome a […]

Jaylen Warren A Strong Flex Option in Week 6
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (knee) is set to return to action in Week 6 against the division-rival Cleveland Browns. Though Kenneth Gainwell impressed in Warren's absence, the latter is expected to reclaim RB1 duties immediately after practicing in full all week. Fantasy managers should keep expectations in check, however, as the Browns are […]

Aaron Rodgers Only Viable in 2QB Formats Against Browns
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is returning from a bye in Week 5 for an AFC North showdown against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Cleveland has been tough on opposing quarterbacks, holding the position to the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game. However, with the Browns even more dominant against the run, Pittsburgh may be forced […]

Fantasy Football Trade Targets: Week 6 Buy Low, Sell High Candidates
Week 5 gave us a little of everything: blowouts, shootouts, hard-fought divisional clashes, and narrow comeback victories. It was impossible to predict the outcomes of many matchups, but hopefully the scoring surplus benefited your fantasy team. One player who gained value from and contributed to his team's 37 points was David Montgomery, whom I announced […]

Darnell Washington Trending Up Heading Into Week 6
Despite finishing the game with just three catches for 20 yards, Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington was heavily involved in the Week 4 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Washington logged more snaps than any other Steelers tight end and was highly effective as a run-blocker, paving the way for running back Kenneth Gainwell's 99-yard […]

Will Jonnu Smith See More Opportunities Coming Out of Bye?
After a 2024 campaign in which he set career highs as a receiver, Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith has been surprisingly quiet to start 2025. Smith's limited participation in practice leading up to the Week 4 win over the Minnesota Vikings could explain his minimal involvement in that game, but his lack of utilization […]

Can DK Metcalf Build on Week 4 Performance?
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf delivered his best showing of the season in Week 4 with five receptions for 126 yards and a touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings. Although nearly all of his production came in the first half, it was encouraging to see the seventh-year pro featured early and often after a slow […]

Is Aaron Rodgers a Streaming Option Going Forward?
Through the first four weeks of the season, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was the QB16 in fantasy with eight passing touchdowns and three interceptions while leading his new team to a 3-1 record. Although his most prolific outing came in the season opener, Rodgers finished as a top-24 fantasy option in each of his […]

Fantasy Football Trade Targets: Week 5 Buy Low, Sell High Candidates
We are now over a quarter of the way through the fantasy football regular season, with most leagues starting playoff matchups in Week 15. At this point, fantasy managers should have a pretty strong indication of whether or not their teams are built to win. 4-0 and 3-1 squads might want to make some minor […]

Jaylen Warren Retains Fantasy Value Through Week 5 Bye
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (knee) was a surprise inactive before Week 4's win over the Minnesota Vikings. In his absence, Kenneth Gainwell exploded for 134 total yards and two touchdowns. Though Gainwell's performance could earn him more volume in the coming weeks, Warren was very effective as a pass-catcher through his first three […]

Darnell Washington to Operate as TE1 in Pittsburgh?
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington snagged all three of his targets for 20 yards in a 24-21 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. The third-year pro was held without a catch through his first three games this season but emerged as the most productive tight end on the team in Week 4. In addition to […]
