James Conner Scores Twice Against Chargers

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner took 16 carries for 41 yards and a score, while also catching seven passes for 78 yards and another score in Sunday's 24-17 win over the LA Chargers. The third-year back was the offensive MVP in Week 6, but was again dependent on scoring touchdowns. It's also important to […]

Devlin Hodges Serviceable In First Start

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Devlin Hodges finished 15 of 20 for just 132 yards with a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's win over the Chargers. The Steelers jumped out to an early 14-0 lead, thanks to two takeaways by the defense. The big advantage allowed the offense to emphasize the run with James Conner and […]

Chris Boswell Could Be Busy On Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell might be called upon often for Sunday's road game against the LA Chargers. The 28-year-old is a perfect 10-for-10 on field goals while not missing an extra point in nine tries. With Devlin Hodges set to start at quarterback for Pittsburgh, the offense might have a tough time closing out […]

The Steelers Defense Not A Good Option For Week 6

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense isn't a great streaming option for a Week 6 matchup with the LA Chargers. Over their last five road games, Pittsburgh has allowed at least 24 points in each of them, all of which resulted in a loss. Now, the defense will have extra pressure on it with Mason Rudolph (concussion) […]

Vance McDonald Will Play On Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (shoulder) was a full participant in Friday's practice and will be available to play in Sunday's game against the Chargers. The 29-year-old has been very quiet on the field over the past few weeks, including missing Week 4. McDonald has just four catches on five targets for 44 yards. […]

Diontae Johnson A Solid Flex Option In Week 6

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson has led the team with 20 targets over the last three weeks. Since most teams try to neutralize JuJu Smith-Schuster, Johnson has been the prime beneficiary of more relaxed coverage. Also consider that James Washington (shoulder) is out on Sunday against the LA Chargers, and the rookie Johnson has […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster A Low-End WR2 On Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster will have third-string, rookie quarterback Devlin Hodges throwing to him on Sunday night against the LA Chargers. The third-year pass catcher has really struggled with distracting team's top cornerbacks every week and thus remained relatively quiet. However, a 35-yard touchdown last week is what keeps him in your lineups. While […]

Benny Snell Jr. Worthy Of A Stash

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. will back up James Conner for the near future while Jaylen Samuels (knee) recovers from surgery. With a matchup against the LA Chargers on Sunday night, Snell won't likely get many touches except to rest Conner. However, if you're the Conner owner in your league, it's best to […]

James Conner Due For Heavy Workload

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner is expected to receive a high quantity of touches in Sunday night's game with the LA Chargers. With Mason Rudolph (concussion) expected to miss and Jaylen Samuels (knee) out for a month, there aren't many other options on offense. Conner hasn't exactly lived up to his high-draft capital this […]

Devlin Hodges To Make First Career Start

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Devlin Hodges will start Sunday night's game against the LA Chargers. The team announced Friday that Mason Rudolph (concussion) will not play after the scary hit he took last Sunday. Hodges, the rookie from Samford, completed seven of nine passes for 68 yards in backup duty against the Ravens in Week 5. […]

Top NFL Betting Expert Picks for Week 6 (10/13/19)

Week 5 was very unkind to us and I really dropped the ball there. Somehow Chicago wasn't able to manhandle the Raiders and the Chiefs and Colts was just not a smart pick. Well, this week is looking up as it's an interesting card.  Week 4 Picks: 0-4 (0%) 2019-20 Picks: 10-9 (53%) I'm here […]

Top College Football Betting Expert Picks for Week 7 (10/12/19)

The last three weeks have been treacherous and just be sure that I'm taking the same hits you are if you're tailing me. We've reached the point where you fade what I pick here. However, these are the moments that make me work harder to find the best possible action. Week 6 Picks: 0-3 (0%) 2019-20 […]

Chris Boswell Nails Three Field Goals

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell made three field goals and two extra points in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Ravens. It's clear he's put 2018 behind him as Sunday marked the first game that the 28-year-old made three or more field goals in a game since 2017. However, the Steelers offense took a big […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense Has Three Interceptions

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense surrendered 26 points to the Ravens on Sunday, while holding them to just 277 yards and recording three interceptions and five sacks. It marks the fourth straight game that the Steelers have multiple takeaways. Mike Hilton, Kam Kelly, and Devin Bush all pulled in the interceptions, while Stephon Tuitt led the […]

Vance McDonald Catches All Three Targets

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald had three receptions for 34 yards in Sunday's loss to the Ravens. After missing Week 4's game with a shoulder injury, McDonald was able to have a decent game Sunday. He was targeted just once by third-string quarterback Devlin Hodges, but if the rookie signal caller is forced to […]

Diontae Johnson Catches Five Passes Against Ravens

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson hauled in five of his eight targets for just 27 yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the Ravens. Johnson also fumbled in the third quarter but he was bailed out when the ball rolled out of bounds. The rookie is definitely getting his fair share of targets after scoring […]

James Washington Leaves Game With Shoulder Injury

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington caught three of his six targets for 52 yards before leaving Sunday's game against the Ravens with a shoulder injury. Washington was pretty effective early, but if the injury causes him to miss time, expect rookie Diontae Johnson to get increased opportunities. Nonetheless, this is a banged up Steelers […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Fumbles Away Solid Day

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster hauled in seven passes for 75 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The USC product had a big 35-yard touchdown in the first quarter, but was relatively quiet after that. Then disaster struck in overtime when Smith-Schuster pulled in his final reception, then had […]

Jaylen Samuels Has Five Touches In Loss

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels took three carries for two yards and caught three passes for 11 yards in Sunday's loss to the Ravens. Samuels wasn't very effective in his limited work, but he was the preferred back in passing situations, as James Conner didn't have one target. Still, Samuels is a risky flex […]

James Conner Scores Touchdown On Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner gained 55 yards on 14 carries, while scoring his second touchdown of the season in Sunday's loss to the Ravens. Conner didn't get one target in the passing game, as Jaylen Samuels was the preferred passing-down back. The gameplan featured Conner running between the tackles almost exclusively. Next week's […]

Mason Rudolph Exits Game After Scary Hit

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph was forced from Sunday's game against the Ravens after taking a scary hit to the head. After getting hit, Rudolph laid motionless on the field before eventually being able to walk off under his own power. Prior to the injury, he was 13 of 20 for 131 yards and a […]

Vance McDonald Active For Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (shoulder) will be active for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. McDonald missed Week 4's win over the Bengals after suffering the injury in the previous week. The team went out and acquired Nick Vannett from the Seahawks to strengthen their depth at the position, but getting McDonald back […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Active For Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (toe) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Baltimore Ravens. Smith-Schuster re-injured his toe in last Monday's game and was listed as questionable after missing practice on Wednesday and Thursday. He can be considered a mid-range WR2 on Sunday, as the Ravens allow 38.9 fantasy points per game to […]

Top NFL Betting Expert Picks for Week 5 (10/6/19)

Last week wasn't what the past few weeks have been but even the beats were close. We've had a solid beginning to the season and as we continue to learn more about teams, I'm hopeful we can continue to make this a profitable season.  Week 4 Picks: 2-2 (50%) 2019-20 Picks: 10-5 (67%) I'm here […]

Top College Football Betting Expert Picks for Week 6 (10/5/19)

Last week, we had a tough beat whenever Khalil Tate of Arizona was inactive and UCLA was able to keep it close the entire time. I've had three straight weeks with a 1-2 record, which makes for some tough Saturday's. However, the further we get into the season, the more information we have available to […]

Steelers Defense Shows Up Against Bengals

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense held the Cincinnati Bengals to just three points, while picking up eight sacks, one interception, and two forced fumbles in Monday's divisional win. Lead by rookie Devin Bush and veteran Cam Heyward, who combined for 11 tackles and 3.5 sacks, this unit looked great at home. There was even an interception […]

Chris Boswell Perfect In Week 4

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was perfect in Monday's 27-3 win over Cincinnati, making both field goal attempts, along with nailing three extra-point attempts. The 28-year-old is a perfect 7-for-7 on field goals this season, and he's also perfect on all seven extra points. This is a breath of fresh air compared to his rough […]

Nick Vannett Hauls In Two Passes

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Nick Vannett caught two passes for 28 yards in Monday's 27-3 win over Cincinnati. This was his first game with the team after being acquired on Wednesday, so all things considered it was a solid performance for the 26-year-old. Starting tight end Vance McDonald (shoulder) was inactive for the game and […]

James Washington Catchless Against Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington wasn't able to haul in his only target during Monday's win over the Bengals. As a rookie last season, he had just three games with one or zero targets, so this is definitely a low for the the college teammate of Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph. Many anticipated Washington would […]

Diontae Johnson Notches Deep Touchdown

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson caught all six of his targets for 77 yards and a score in Monday's win over Cincinnati. The rookie seems to have caught the early attention of Mason Rudolph, as he's scored in back-to-back games. He's had at least four targets in every game so far, with his Week […]
