Fantasy Football Trade Targets: Week 4 Buy Low, Sell High Candidates

We are now three weeks into the 2025 regular season, and the NFL feels just as unpredictable as it did heading into Week 1. Players are exploding out of nowhere (and vanishing just as quickly), fantasy defenses are putting up 30-point performances, and injuries are finally taking a toll on starting lineups. Also, the Eagles […]

Breakout Campaign Underway for Calvin Austin III?

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III hauled in three of his five targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in a 21-14 win over the New England Patriots. Although Austin was quiet in Week 2, his numbers through the first three games of the season are shockingly similar to teammate DK Metcalf's. Metcalf leads […]

Jonnu Smith Not Providing Fantasy Value Despite Uptick in Snaps

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith was quiet again this past week, logging just three receptions for 23 yards in a 21-14 victory over the New England Patriots. While his fantasy managers hoped for much more on the stat sheet, Smith did play a season-high 83% of snaps as the Steelers deployed a heavy dose […]

DK Metcalf Earning Trust in the Red Zone but Falling Short Elsewhere

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf only managed three catches for 32 yards on four targets in Week 3, but he made up for the low volume he received with a touchdown. He has now found the end zone in back-to-back contests with both scores coming on a jump ball thrown by Aaron Rodgers. While […]

Jaylen Warren Emerging as Workhorse RB

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren gained 81 total yards on 23 touches in a Week 3 win over the New England Patriots. Perhaps most importantly, the 26-year-old took the field for a career-high 80% of Pittsburgh's offensive snaps. He did cede a few opportunities to Kenneth Gainwell, who punched in a one-yard score after […]

Steelers D/ST a Risky Play in Week 3

The Pittsburgh Steelers' defensive woes continued in Week 2 as they surrendered 395 total yards in a 31-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. They'll look to bounce back on the road against the New England Patriots in Week 3. New England is coming off an impressive offensive showing, putting up 33 points in a win […]

Chris Boswell Should Keep Rolling vs. New England

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell will look to carry his positive momentum from the first two games of the season into a Week 3 meeting with the New England Patriots. Boswell is proving to be a fantasy force regardless of his opponent, but it helps that New England has surrendered the eighth-most fantasy points per […]

Jonnu Smith a Low-End Streaming Option in Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith has been inconsistent for fantasy purposes to start the season, but could be primed to deliver against the New England Patriots in Week 3. On paper, New England looks like a middle-of-the-pack matchup for fantasy tight ends, surrendering a big performance to Brock Bowers in Week 1 before facing […]

Calvin Austin III Draws Favorable Matchup in Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III has had a turbulent start to the season but will hope to take advantage of a soft matchup against the New England Patriots in Week 3. New England has struggled to contain opposing wideouts, allowing the second-most fantasy points to the position through two games. While star Patriots […]

DK Metcalf Has Plenty of Upside in Plus Matchup vs. Patriots

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf salvaged his Week 2 fantasy output with a touchdown and will look for more opportunities against the New England Patriots in Week 3. The Patriots, who have been without All-Pro cornerback Christian Gonzalez (hamstring) so far this season, have surrendered the second-most fantasy points to opposing wideouts. Gonzalez returned […]

Aaron Rodgers Difficult to Trust in Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers came back to Earth in Week 2 after a dazzling season opener and will look to get back on track against the New England Patriots in Week 3. On paper, this is a favorable matchup as the Patriots surrendered the most passing yards in the NFL through the first two […]

Kaleb Johnson Unlikely to Make an Impact in Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson has just two offensive touches through the first two weeks of the campaign and remains on the outside looking in ahead of a Week 3 clash with the New England Patriots. Unfortunately, the rookie's most notable NFL moment yet came when his muffed kick return yielded a Seattle touchdown […]

Kenneth Gainwell Has Little Upside in Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell has seen a surprising amount of opportunities through the first two weeks of the season and should be involved against the New England Patriots in Week 3. With rookie Kaleb Johnson off to a slow start, Gainwell has been the primary change-of-pace option behind Jaylen Warren. That role, however, […]

Jaylen Warren Carries RB2 Value Against Patriots

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren will look to build on his hot start to the campaign in a Week 3 road matchup against the New England Patriots. After struggling against the run in 2024, the Patriots have clamped down through the first two weeks of 2025, allowing just 2.5 yards per carry. They have […]

Fantasy Football Trade Targets: Week 3 Buy Low, Sell High Candidates

In Week 1, only five teams managed to score over 30 points, and they were all clustered in just three games. Offenses started clicking in Week 2 as nine teams eclipsed 30 points in the early Sunday slate alone. While this was fun to watch, there were a ton of unexpected blow-up performances, so whether […]

Jonnu Smith Showing Promising Utilization in Pittsburgh

Through two weeks of the 2025 campaign, Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith has caught nine passes for 42 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets. While the production hasn't popped for fantasy yet, Smith's usage in his first year as a Steeler is encouraging. In addition to besting teammate Pat Freiermuth in snaps and […]

Aaron Rodgers Looked Better Than the Stat Sheet in Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was a fantasy letdown in Week 2 after throwing four touchdowns in the season opener. He completed just 18 of 33 passes for 203 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in the 31-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. However, the box score doesn't tell the whole story. In the first […]

DK Metcalf Making the Most of Limited Volume Through Two Weeks

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf found the end zone in Week 2 against his former team, the Seattle Seahawks, but was otherwise quiet, finishing with three receptions for 20 yards. While Metcalf leads Pittsburgh in targets, he currently ranks second in both receptions and receiving yards. It's clear he is the team's top wideout, […]

Jaylen Warren on the Verge of Fantasy Stardom?

On the heels of a dynamic receiving performance, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren is a top-12 fantasy option at his position through the first two weeks of the season. The fourth-year pro hauled in all four of his targets for 86 yards in Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. While his efficiency on the […]

Fantasy Football Trade Targets: Week 2 Buy Low, Sell High Candidates

Just like that, after months of anticipation, hot takes, and offseason hype, Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season is in the books. We saw several highly-touted superstars fall flat out of the gate, and some electric performances from guys that went undrafted in the majority of redraft leagues (hello, Quentin Johnston). It's natural to […]

Steelers D/ST Should Bounce Back in Home Opener

The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense was surprisingly vulnerable last week, surrendering 32 points and 394 yards of offense to the New York Jets. Pittsburgh may not be as strong defensively as it was expected to be this season, but it still has plenty of potential as a fantasy D/ST against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2. […]

Chris Boswell Should Remain in Lineups Against Seahawks

In the season opener, Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell picked up right where he left off in 2024, drilling two field goals and four extra points. Most notably, he set a franchise record with a 60-yarder that gave Pittsburgh a 34-32 lead with just over a minute left in the fourth quarter. Boswell will look […]

Pat Freiermuth Has Unreliable Role Heading Into Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth saw three targets last week and will look to build on his chemistry with quarterback Aaron Rodgers in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle was middle-of-the-road against opposing tight ends last season, but surrendered plenty of fantasy points to the position in its season opener against the San […]

Roman Wilson Not on Fantasy Radar Against Seahawks

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson did not see the field much in the season opener and will hope for more involvement in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks. Wilson logged just 10 of a possible 56 offensive snaps in Week 1, well behind starting wideouts DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III. With Wilson competing […]

DK Metcalf A Borderline Must-Start Against Former Team

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf performed well in his first game in the black and gold and now gets a chance at revenge against the team that traded him earlier this year, the Seattle Seahawks. Metcalf told reporters that Sunday's contest is "just another football game", but the 27-year-old will surely be targeted early […]

Kaleb Johnson Will Hope For More Opportunities Against Seattle

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson was hardly involved in his regular-season debut and will likely operate as the team's RB3 again this week against the Seattle Seahawks. Fantasy managers who drafted Johnson with high expectations must exercise patience with the rookie if they plan to keep him rostered. Johnson played just two offensive snaps […]

Jaylen Warren Has RB2 Upside In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren found the end zone in the season opener and will look to build on that success in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle's run defense was middle-of-the-pack in 2024 and surrendered a big fantasy performance to Christian McCaffrey in Week 1. Warren may not be the offensive threat […]

Kenneth Gainwell Not on Fantasy Radar in Week 1

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell is set to make his regular-season debut for the team in a Week 1 contest against the New York Jets. Gainwell, who spent the first four years of his career in Philadelphia, is listed as Pittsburgh's RB2 to open the campaign and should mix in behind Jaylen Warren. While […]

Steelers D/ST A Must-Start Against Jets

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense was a great fantasy asset in 2024 and will look to repeat its success in Week 1 against the New York Jets. This is an ideal matchup to target for fantasy DST purposes as the Jets averaged fewer than 20 points per game last season and are not expected to run […]

Chris Boswell Looks To Build Off Career Year in Week 1

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell will hope to build upon a stellar 2024 campaign when he opens the season against the New York Jets in Week 1. While there isn't expected to be an abundance of points scored in Sunday's contest, it's worth noting that New York surrendered the third-most fantasy points to opposing kickers […]
