Steelers Breakdown

The Steelers are 4-1 and coming off a 3-game winning streak. Aaron Rodgers at the quarterback spot should be able to carve up the Bengals' defense. At the running back position, Jaylen Warren is the lead back and is more of a receiving option. You will be paying a premium for his upside. Next up is Kenneth Gainwell, who is also a receiver option, seeing six targets last game. Last but not least is Kaleb Johnson, who is overpriced for his role. Onto the Wide Receivers, the big news is Calvin Austin coming into this game as out. He was out in Week Six and could be out again. DK Metcalf is the number one target, and his price on DraftKings shows that. I am liking him in the captain slot. The veteran Scotty Miller hasn’t seen any action despite running routes in games. He saw the second-most snaps last week due to the injury of Calvin Austin. The interesting option is Roman Wilson, who is slightly priced over Scotty Miller, who had one reception last game. Ben Skowronek wraps up the snaps and would be a punt option to see snaps. At the right tight end position, you can expect all these guys to see a ton of snaps, and they are splitting it. First in line is Darnell Washington, and his DraftKings price tag is amazing for his possible production. Jonnu Smith is seeing 3 targets a game. Next up is Pat Freiermuth is the odd man out. The Steelers' defense is in play due to Joe Flacco throwing interceptions left and right.

Bengals Breakdown

The Bengals are coming off 4 losses in a row and made the trade to acquire Joe Flacco. The move may not have made sense outside of fantasy football, but for us DraftKings players, we are in love with it due to Joe Flacco slinging it all game. At the running back position, Chase Brown is a shell of himself this season. Fumbling has been a problem, and I only found the end zone in the first week. Samaje Perine is next up in snaps and more of a third-down back. The price tag is intriguing. At the wide receiver position, Ja’Marr Chase is definitely happy to have Joe Flacco as his quarterback. He is coming off one of his best games of the season. Tee Higgins has been consistent this season, seeing close to 12 DraftKings points a game. Andrei Iosivas saw more snaps than Tee Higgins last game. He is a great dart throw option on this showdown slate. Mitchell Tinsley is wrapping up the snaps. At the tight end position, injuries will be interesting at this spot. Mike Gesicki is ruled out. Tanner Hudson is out as well. That leaves Noah Fant, who has been inconsistent this season. Drew Sample is too cheap for his role, which could be increased. I am fading the Bengals defense.
