- over the last 6 weeks, the Steelers allow the 6th most fantasy ppg to the slot. Yoshi saw 3 for 49 on 4 targets in the middle of that stretch. A game where higgins had 10 targets and Chase had 23. If that target share evens out more like it did last week, yoshi is startable here.

- Fant has scored in 2 of the last 3 and is the lead TE against a bottom 10 D vs TEs. But a deeper dive sort of reveals only 3 TEs had good days against the Steelers. Just those 3 topped 45 yards. Hunter Henry, Harold Fannin, and Tucker Kraft. They saw targets of 11, 10, 9. Even Tyler warren on 7 targets couldn't hit 45. Fant doesn't get 9+ targets

- Really just a volume C. You beat the Steelers through the air. They are 7th toughest against fantasy runners.
- Vidal had 95 yards rushing last week, but it took 25 carries. Jonathan Taylor had just 45 the week before, josh jacobs 31, but Chase Brown in this matchup had 108 with runs of 37 and 27 on 11 carries. So as the main lead back and history of breaking a couple on this team. C grade
- perine high ankle sprain, pick up tahj brooks
- With perine down, Chase Brown saw 14 targets last week.

- The Bengals allow the 4th most explosive pass plays
- Outside of that, they are actually better than average vs WRs, 9th fewest receptions, 6th fewest scores, 14th fewest yards
- Metcalf does generally get more targets although Austin and Wilson have seen some decent work recently. They both need a score to be viable so I'll leave them on the bench. When DK doesn't score, he still has that 5-50 average side to him.
- went for 50 in the first matchup. I have tempered expectations. Bengals far worse agains WR, RB, and TE than WRs
- He'll also see mostly DJ Turner who has PFFs 3rd highest coverage grade on the year

- Opposing QBs have a 153 passer rating throwing to TEs against the Bengals.
- The Bengals have allowed the 2nd most yards and most scores to TEs. 12 scores in 9 games, and 4 came from Steelers a few weeks ago
- Friermuth has been the more productive pass catcher in the Steelers TE room and went 5-111-2 in the last matchup. Jonnu and Washington also scored, but without the score their days weren't start worthy. You don't want to count on scores, but the bengals are the one team you probably can. They've allowed TE scores in 7 or 9 games. I have bench DART throw grades on the other two.

- Given how bad the Bengals are against backs, especially being one of the worst against backs in the pass game, you may expect a grade here. But in this same matchup 3 weeks ago he had 5 touches for 15 yards. last week, 2 touches for 4 yards. He hasn't topped 7 touches in over a month. The Steelers are 6 point favorites, so there's a chance it plays in his favor, but I can't give a grade here.
