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.

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.

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.

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.
