Pittsburgh Steelers – Fantasy Forecast – Week 16
Pittsburgh Steelers 6-8 at Green Bay Packers 7-6-1
Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
Antonio Brown
#7 Ranked WR
Okay, we get it! Antonio Brown is match-up proof! We love him! Seriously, last week they hosted Cincinnati and Brown caught five passes for 66 yards and one TD. He also had a return TD to put a cherry on top. Green Bay gives up the 6th most fantasy points to opposing WRs so play him.
Other Studs: LeVeon Bell (RB) #9
Gut Calls
Ben Roethlisberger
#16 Ranked QB
Roethlisberger had a nice game in real football, but a crappy fantasy day last week when they played Cincinnati. He should bounce back against the Packers. Roethlisberger is the 12th highest scoring fantasy QB on the season. If that surprised you, you are not alone.
For Your Consideration: Emmanuel Sanders (WR) #34, Jerricho Cotchery (WR) #57, Heath Miller (TE) #20
Bench Warmers
Pittsburgh Defense
#21 Ranked DEF
Once referred to as “The Steel Curtain” this defense ranks 23rd among all fantasy DEFs on the season. Green Bay probably won’t have Rodgers, but ask the Cowboys how Flynn worked out last week. It’s just too risky, especially when the Packers get to play at home.
