Pittsburgh Steelers – Fantasy Forecast – Week 10

Buffalo Bills 3-6 at Pittsburgh Steelers 2-6

Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em

Le’Veon Bell

#13 Ranked RB

Buffalo gives up the 6th fewest fantasy points to opposing RBs, but Bell doesn’t care.  Neither should you.  He’s a talented, three-down back.  Play him.  Last week he rushed for 74 yards and caught 4 passes for 65 yards.  Throw in a TD, and that’s fantasy gold.


Gut Calls

Ben Roethlisberger

#14 Ranked QB

Roethlisberger played his best game last week, passing for 400 yards, 3 TDs, 2 INTs and rushed for -1 yards.  So, you’re saying he’s not a read option guy?  Anyway, he could be awesome against Buffalo.

 

Antonio Brown, Emmanuel Sanders, Jerricho Cotchery

#12 and #31 and #53 Ranked WR

Talk about the ultimate Gut Call.  Buffalo gives up the 2nd most fantasy points to opposing WRs, but this receiving corps continues to rotate the work.  Antonio Brown has the highest points per game average, coming in at 11.33 fantasy points.  However, he’s never been the top scoring receiver of the week.  Cotchery scored the most points three of the weeks, Sanders was the top scorer four weeks, and even Heath Miller had one week of being the top guy.  You just don’t know, so take your pick.


Bench Warmers

Heath Miller

#16 Ranked TE

He’s averaging 5.13 fantasy points per game, but he seems to play less and less of a role in this offense as the weeks fly by.  Buffalo gives up the 7th fewest fantasy points to opposing TEs, so don’t expect much.

Pittsburgh Steelers at New England Patriots

These two teams continue to kick the crap out of their fantasy owners.  The lack of consistency is enough to tear your heart out.

This week, we made some gut calls on Le’Veon Bell, Antonio Brown, Emmanuel Sanders, Ben Roethlisberger and Shaun Suisham.

Here is an example of what you can find over at Cover32.com, by Her Fantasy Football:

Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em

Le’Veon Bell
#12 Ranked RB
The Steelers love Bell. He’s a featured back and that’s as rare as a blue diamond in the modern-day NFL. New England is weaker at defending the run, giving up the 13th most fantasy points to opposing RBs. Look for a lot of work and hopefully a TD.

Cover32LogoBaltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers

Rivalry games often yield fantasy gold.  And even though both of these teams are known for their tough defensive schemes, look for some flashy play.  Both teams are going through a transition right now, so you never quite know what you are going to see.

This week, we made some gut calls on Antonio Brown, Heath Miller, Le’Veon Bell, Emmanuel Sanders and Ben Roethlisberger.

Here is an example of what you can find over at Cover32.com, by Her Fantasy Football:

Play ‘Em If Got ‘Em

Heath Miller
#10 Ranked TE
He’s not flashy. He’s not the “sexy” play, but he’s dependable. Big Ben likes him and Baltimore gives up the 9th most points to TEs. In standard scoring leagues, Miller has scored 3.5, 7, and 8.4 points in the three weeks since he got back from injury. Those numbers are going in the right direction. He could be a sneaky play for those of you with Jimmy Graham on a bye week.

Pittsburgh Steelers – Fantasy Foreplay – Analysis Featured on Cover32.com

Cover32LogoPittsburgh Steelers at New York Jets

The Steelers are looking for their first win, but the NY Jets keep winning.  We think this will be a fun, old school game.  Think ground and pound, with emphasis on the pound.

This week, we made some gut calls on Antonio Brown, Le’Veon Bell, Ben Roethlisberger, Emmanuel Sanders and Jerricho Cotchery.

An example of our Steelers fantasy analysis:

Gut Calls

Le’Veon Bell
#18 Ranked RB
Bell set the stadium on fire his first game in the pros: 57 yards rushing, 27 yards passing and 2 TDs. You have to love that. But buyer beware, he’s going up against the SOLID Jets defense. The Jets have given up the 4th fewest fantasy points to RBs, so this will be a bit of a wakeup call. The lackluster RB performances across the league dictate a borderline “must start” status for Bell, but we put him under “gut calls” to temper expectations.

Roethlisberger Undergoes Knee Surgery – Looking Fine – Considered Minor

Pittsburgh SteelersIt’s the exact same operation he underwent seven years ago with an estimated 4 to 6 week recovery time.

Handsome Coach of the Year, Mike Tomlin, assured the press that this procedure “will have no long-term effects on [Roethlisberger's] health.”

USA Today reported the surgery was a scope to “clean out some cartilage.”

ESPN NFL Insider, Adam Schefter, talked about how Roethlisberger was participating at practice in full, but decided his knee felt funny so he brought it to the team’s attention.

Everyone seems to believe that this surgery is a simple tune-up and Big Ben can be 100% come go time.  And I believe everyone.  However, without Mike Wallace and with a lengthy injury and surgical history, Ben Roethlisberger is only QB2 material in the same tier as Matt Schaub, Carson Palmer, and the like.  He missed three games last year due to a rare rib/shoulder injury.  If it’s not one thing, it’s another.

Best of luck and we’re hoping for a speedy recovery.
