Here is another in our fantasy football series looking at the Pittsburgh Steelers. Today we move on to tight end Heath Miller. While there is a lot to like about all of the other Steelers playmakers in terms of fantasy value, when it comes to Miller that is not really the case. When drafting a tight end, it’s pretty simple. There’s Rob Gronkowski and everyone else. If you’re not getting Gronk early, it makes very little sense to draft a tight end early on. Miller can be had very late ... Read More
2015 Fantasy Football Outlook: Markus Wheaton
This is another part in a series looking at the Pittsburgh Steelers and how they will fare in terms of fantasy football production in 2015. While the Steelers top two receivers- Antonio Brown and Martavis Bryant- have much hype around them, the hype is not there for Markus Wheaton. But should there be? Many are projecting Bryant for a huge breakout season, but realistically couldn’t the same be said for Wheaton? I believe it could be and am looking to get some shares of Wheaton ... Read More
2015 Fantasy Football Outlook: Martavis Bryant
Here is another in a series of looking at the Pittsburgh Steelers in terms of their potential 2015 fantasy football impact. Today I take a look at second-year wide receiver Martavis Bryant. After being inactive the first seven games of the year as a rookie, Bryant broke on the scene in a big way last year to close the year. While only catching 26 passes on the season, eight of those went for touchdowns. Bryant also had a whopping 21.1 yards per catch average. In the process Bryant ... Read More
2015 Fantasy Football Outlook: Antonio Brown
This is the fourth in a series of looking the Pittsburgh Steelers and how they will fare from a fantasy football perspective in 2015. I now move to the wide receiver position and perhaps the best wide receiver in the game in Antonio Brown. Brown has had a two-year run that should make him the top receiver going off the board. Two years ago he finished with 110 receptions, 1,503 total yards and nine touchdowns. Last season he even improved on those numbers by adding an additional 19 ... Read More
2015 Fantasy Football Outlook: DeAngelo Williams
This is the third part in a series looking at the fantasy value of current Pittsburgh Steelers. While earlier I looked at guys who can have an impact for your team week in and week out like Ben Roethlisberger and Le’Veon Bell, today I look at a trickier situation in the form of running back DeAngelo Williams. When Williams signed with the Steelers, it didn’t do much for his already plummeting fantasy value, but throw in Bell’s suspension and a guy like Williams has seen his value rise a ... Read More
2015 Fantasy Football Outlook: Le’Veon Bell
Yesterday I started my 2015 Pittsburgh Steelers Fantasy Football preview by looking at Steelers’ quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Today I shift the focus to the backfield and look at running back Le’Veon Bell. Bell is an easy guy to analyze, especially after a 2014 season in which he was the Fantasy Football MVP. I for one rode Bell to more than one title a season ago. But there are some complications entering the 2015 campaign as Bell won’t be immediately available, serving a two-game ... Read More
2015 Fantasy Football Outlook: Ben Roethlisberger
This is the first in a series looking at the Pittsburgh Steelers and how they will fare not just on the field, but more importantly what type of fantasy football value they will offer during the 2015 season. I will start with Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. I usually play in 10-plus larger leagues a season along with having a lot of DFS action and Roethlisberger was one guy I targeted a season ago. I had a ninth-round value placed on him, but was willing to grab him in the eighth ... Read More
Fantasy Waiver Wire: Week 8
A lot has happened over the course of the week in the injury category as injuries to big names such as Jermichael Finley, Sam Bradford, Jay Cutler, Doug Martin, Reggie Wayne amd Nick Foles meaning you could be looking for a pickup for week 8 and beyond. There is some hope for you, though as a few possible "key players" are returning. Jarrett Boyken (WR/GB): Boyken recorded 10 catches for 100 yds and a TD last week as he received more looks from Aaron Rodgers after the injury to Finley. Even ... Read More
Week 10 Fantasy Advice
Start QB Carson Palmer- Palmer had a big fantasy week last week against the Bucs, with 36 points. With the Raiders’ top two running backs both hurt, he will likely again be forced to pass a ton and should be fairly productive against a beat-up Ravens defense. HB Mikel Leshoure- Leshoure probably won’t score three touchdowns again like he did last week. But he’s worth starting against a Vikings defense that has allowed a running back to score in each of their last three games. HB CJ ... Read More
Week 9 Fantasy Advice
Start QB Josh Freeman- Freeman has been brilliant over the past three weeks and should continue his resurgence today against the Raiders. QB Matt Stafford- The Jaguars have allowed multiple touchdowns to every quarterback they’ve faced in their past five games. Stafford is coming off a breakout week 8 performance and should have another productive day. HB Willis McGahee- McGahee had a big game last week against the Saints. Today the Broncos face a Bengals defense that has been torched on ... Read More
