Steelers @ Browns More or Less Contest
Recommended Pick:
Mitch Trubisky less than 198.5 passing yards and Jacoby Brissett more than 195.5 passing yards
This is a tough number for Trubisky as the Steelers will likely look to come out running the ball in this one. He has yet to throw for 200 yards in either of the Steelers' first two games this season, either. While the Browns have allowed an average of 271 passing yards per game this season, a good chunk of those yards came in what was supposed to be garbage time for the Jets during a Week 2 furious comeback. I expect the Browns' secondary to get right this season and that should start Thursday against the Steelers.
The Steelers have struggled mightily during the first two weeks of the season against the pass as they have allowed the fourth-most passing yards to quarterbacks. Just last week, they allowed Mac Jones to light them up for 252 yards, which is saying something. Brissett and the Browns will enter as favorites, but they were also heavy favorites against the Jets last week when he threw for 229 passing yards. I think the Steelers keep this close and Brissett will have to make some big throws down the stretch, putting him over this total.

Steelers @ Browns More or Less Contest
Recommended Pick:
Diontae Johnson more than 13.5 fantasy points and Amari Cooper more than 11.5 fantasy points
While I do not like the more than for Trubisky's passing yards prop, the fantasy points score for Johnson in a PPR format makes some sense. He has been a favorite target for Turbisky early in the season as he has 22 targets and hauled in 13 receptions over the first two games of the season. If he sees a similar target share in this game, he should be able to haul in a hefty amount of receptions to pad his stats and get over this total.
Amari Cooper is in a solid spot for this game, especially after he and Brissett hooked up nine times on 10 targets for 101 yards last week against the Jets. The two looked very in-sync and should be able to rack up some yards against the Steelers, who have allowed the second-most receiving yards to wide receivers to begin the season. They have also allowed the second-most receptions to wide receivers, which will certainly help in this PPR scoring format.
