JuJu Smith-Schuster A WR2 In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is off to a solid start in 2020, posting 13 receptions for 117 yards and two touchdowns through two games.

Benny Snell Jr. Not A Fantasy Option In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. struggled in a Week 2 win over the Denver Broncos. Many expected Snell to split carries with James Conner after the latter injured his ankle in Week 1, but instead Conner out-touched Snell 18 to four last week. If Snell is going to remain in a strict backup […]

James Conner An RB2 In Week 3 Versus Houston

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner showed that his ankle was healthy in Week 2 when he handled 18 touches in a win over the Denver Broncos.

Ben Roethlisberger A Low-End QB1 In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has done enough over the first two weeks for fantasy gamers to trust him as a low-end QB1 going forward.

Eric Ebron Goes For 43 Yards In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron caught three of his five targets for 43 yards in a 26-21 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 2.

JuJu Smith-Schuster Catches Seven Balls

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster caught seven of his eight targets for 48 yards in a 26-21 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 2.

Steelers Defense A Top Option In Week 2

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense was excellent in their season-opening road win over the New York Giants in Week 1.

Eric Ebron A TD-Dependent TE2

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron had a disappointing debut with his new team, catching just one of two targets for 18 yards in a Week 1 win over the New York Giants. Ebron will hope for a larger role in the offense when he takes on the Denver Broncos at home in Week 2. […]
