Pittsburgh Steelers Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections
Steelers-Titans will not be played in Week 4 due to additional positive COVID-19 tests
The Week 4 matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans has been postponed due to two additional positive COVID-19 tests within the Titans organization. The NFL is currently considering all options to reschedule the game, including altering the schedule and bye weeks later in the season since the initial plan of moving the game to Monday or Tuesday night is no longer feasible. The sites across the daily fantasy industry have yet to announce how they'll handle this schedule change for upcoming Week 4 slates, but Steelers and Titans players will almost certainly not accrue fantasy points if the game hasn't already been removed from slates altogether.
Sunday's Steelers-Titans game will be rescheduled for Monday or Tuesday
The Week 4 matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans on Sunday has been postponed, and the NFL is currently considering all options to reschedule the game, including Monday or Tuesday night. This expectation will hinge on the status of test results within the Titans' organization, but if the COVID-19 outbreak remains isolated to the nine individuals that already tested positive, then there appears to be extreme optimism in the game only being delayed by a day or two. The sites across the daily fantasy industry have yet to announce how they'll handle this schedule change for upcoming Week 4 slates, but Steelers and Titans players will almost certainly not accrue fantasy points if the game isn't removed from slates altogether.
Steelers CB Steven Nelson Downgraded to Out for Sunday Night’s Game Vs. the Chargers
With Nelson out, Artie Burns may draw the start against the Chargers.
Ravens starting two backup offensive tackles against Pittsburgh
Ravens starting two backup offensive tackles, James Hurst and Ronnie Stanley, are both going to miss Sunday's game with the Steelers. That's very bad news for Joe Flacco against a resurging Pittsburgh defense that still boasts one of the league's better pash rushes, so this could be a sneaky spot to let the PIT D/ST unit loose.
This Defense Could Be the Bargain of the Week
The Steelers Defense stands out as mispriced this week, at only $2,300 on DraftKings, $4,500 on FantasyDraft, and $3,800 on FanDuel. The team ranks second in the league with 22 sacks on the season, while their opponent the Cleveland Browns rank last in the league with 31 sacks allowed. Pittsburgh is an 8-point favorite at home this week with the Browns carrying an implied point total in the low-20s, and there is simply no reason the Steelers defense should be so cheap, particularly considering the matchup.
Juju Smith-Schuster (hamstring) active Sunday; CB Joe Haden inactive
Smith-Schuster is active and will play in today's game against the New England Patriots after previously being listed as questionable on the Pittsburgh Steelers' injury report with a hamstring injury but expected to play. Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell are obviously the main cogs in this Steelers offense and have averaged nearly 21 targets a game combined over the past six weeks, but Smith-Schuster has played 83 percent of snaps and averaged just over seven targets per game over his last four healthy games, ranking third on the team, and sets him up as an interesting pivot off of either Brown or Bell in tournaments if deciding to load up on the Steelers passing attack.

Ryan Shazier out for the season
Shazier had spinal surgery on Wednesday night and now will begin the process of recovery. It's not sure whether Shazier will play football again, and to this point, the details surrounding the overall prognosis for his future have been closely guarded. As a leader of the defense, Shazier will be missed both on and off the field for The Steelers.
JuJu Smith-Schuster and Vance McDonald didn't practice Wednesday; S Mike Mitchell participated
Smith-Schuster is dealing with a hamstring injury that is reportedly minor. McDonald was inactive last weekend and could miss Week 12 as well. Smith-Schuster has impressed as a rookie, scoring five touchdowns and returning 1.93 yards per route run - which would be 12th if he qualified. If he plays without limitations this weekend, he'll have a pretty nice matchup with the Packers on Sunday. Slot corner Damarious Randall is giving up an appealing 0.37 fantasy points per route defended (per PFF) and as a unit, the Packers are 23rd in pass DVOA and giving up the eight-most PPR points to WRs.
Vance McDonald and S Mike Mitchell inactive Week 11
McDonald and Mitchell are both dealing with ankle injuries that will keep them sidelined for Pittsburgh's Thursday night showdown with the Titans. McDonald has become a little involved in the passing game in recent weeks, pulling down a pair of receptions in each of the past two games including one touchdown grab against the Colts. His absence won't change a whole lot though, it will primarily open up more snaps for Xavier Grimble. With CB Joe Haden out for several weeks, the Steelers will thin in their secondary with Mitchell also down. Coty Sensabaugh played poorly in place of Haden last week, allowing a 3/83/1 line on four targets. He’ll primarily battle Rishard Matthews on Thursday. The receiver was second on the team with five catches and 50 yards in Week 10 but he was out-targeted by Corey Davis 10-7. Davis will have his hands full with Artie Burns on roughly half of his routes. Burns' 52% catch rate has elevated him to 19th in cover snaps per reception (14.1, per PFF). That could encourage Marcus Mariota to send more passes in Matthews’ direction, although Davis will get some run into Sensabaugh's area as well. Martavis Bryant was out with an illness Wednesday but was removed from the injury report yesterday; he's good to go tonight. He's a distant third receiver behind JuJu Smith-Schuster, who's now scored in three straight games. While Tennessee is 10th in WR1 DVOA, they're 29th against WR2s and they're funneling the fourth-most passes to the position (7.1/g, per FO). Last week, Bengals WR2 Brandon LaFell posted his best game of the season, finishing with a 6/10/95/1 line.
