Diontae Johnson Is A Sneaky DFS Play

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson has been targeted nine times through two games, hauling in four of them for 42 yards.

Donte Moncrief Unusable In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Donte Moncrief has five drops through two games.

Many are clamoring […]

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster draws a tough matchup in Week 3 against the 49ers on the road.

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense gave up 426 yards in a 28-26 loss to Seattle on Sunday.

Ryan Switzer Unheard From In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Ryan Switzer caught one of his four targets but didn't gain a yard in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks.
