Texans Breakdown

The Texans are coming in as the favorites in this game. CJ Stroud is coming into a great spot against the Steelers defense. The DraftKings price tag is expensive on CJ Stroud despite the matchup. At running back, we have two options: Woody Marks, who has been subpar, and Nick Chubb, whose production has been awful. At wide receiver, Nico Collins is the main guy you can look at. I’m expecting him to have a bounce-back performance. Jayden Higgins has popped off for a touchdown in the last two games. Due to his recent performances, this has caused his DraftKings price tag has bumped up. You have the trio of Christian Kirk, Xavier Hutchinson, and Jaylin Noel. At the tight end spot, Dalton Schultz is in an amazing matchup, and he should be able to excel in it. Cade Stover is a dart throw at such at a low price tag on DraftKings.

Steelers Breakdown

The Steelers are in a tough spot. Aaron Rodgers is going to be a Texans defense that should be able to force him to make quick decisions. I’m not high on Aaron Rodgers at all. The running back position is tough to determine. Jaylen Warren has been running with a purpose these past few games. Kenneth Gainwell has been the focal point recently of this offense. The DraftKings price tags are close together now due to the production between the two. At the wide receiver position, DK Metcalf is back in action, coming off his suspension. He should consume the wide receiver one snap back. The rest of the receivers are hard to determine where the production will spread out. At the tight end spot, Pat Freiermuth is in a decent matchup. Jonnu Smith has been phased out of this offense, as it appears. Connor Hayward is touchdown or bust at the goal due to the tush push.
