TACOM
  • The Patriots have allowed 13 explosive pass plays over 20+ yards in just two games. 300+ to geno in week 1, 300+ and 2 scores to my take a chance on me QB Tua last week. This might be a stream QBs against NE year
  • The Steelers have allowed 32 first downs on 50 completions. Heck, 32 out of 66 attempts. Half the time when you attempt a pass on the Pats it's a first down!
  • Bounceback game that should land somewhere in between his 4 score opener and the 1 score 2 pick dud last week.

B
  • Christian Gonzalez may return this week to shadow Metcalf. Sauce's shadow completely took out Metcalf forcing him to get some yards on a few big plays from the slot.
  • Leads the NFL in yards after catch per receptions (11.1)
  • The Patriots and Steelers in this game are tied for dead last with 13.5 yards allowed per reception.
WR85 Calvin Austin III 13 2.15 3.69 24.38 0.15 9%
  • disappeared after a decent week 1. Still the main outside guy and playing a lot, but just 1 catch on 4 targets. He did get a red zone target. He'll be hard to trust, but if there ever was a matchup. Dart throw.
  • It may also be dependent on if Gonzalez goes. If he does, all those terrible Patts secondary stats may start to turn around. and Austin may get Carlton Davis more

bench
  • if you want 15-35 yards and hope for a score, flip a coin on freiermuth and jonnu. one or both will likely do it. but don't expect more and you may not know which one. 8 targets each game to TEs, but split up super evenly.

B
  • getting most of the work, and especially inside the 5 and 10.
  • Pats are so susceptible to the pass, they held both running games they faced under 50 yards rushing, but last week Achane destroyed in the pass game with 8 for 92 and a score
  • high target per route run than gainwell, and gainwells adot is -1.9, gainwell has -17 air yards. Warren has 108 recieving yards on 6 catches and a score through 2 games.
  • you could talk me into a B, especially after Rodgers said 2 days ago he wants Warren to get more passes. Last I checked he might be able to help with that. This was after the 65 yarder where he broke 4 tackles last week.
RB26 Kenneth Gainwell 16 6.81 32.94 0.25 4.06 4.75 26.38 0.19 77%
bench
  • Gainwell is seeing more pass catching and route running, but very little production, had 8 touches and 10 touches in the two games but averaging under 30 scoreless yards, under 40 in each game
  • Has 9 targets to Warrens 6, out snapped him in week 1, but it flipped for week 2.

B
  • Steelers are bottom 5 against fantasy passers and may be missing Alex Highsmith, Deshon Elliot, and Joey Porter Jr
  • Maye is averaging 245 yards passing and 21 rushing while tacking on 2 scores per game.
  • Pittsburgh allowed 250+ and 3 scores to Fields in Week 1 and 295 and 2 scores to Darnold last week

WR22 Stefon Diggs 16 5.13 6.19 60.63 0.25 93%
C
  • Diggs had 5 of 9 WR targets in Week 2
  • Douglas, Boutte each had 1 target but at least they caught it and Boutte's was a score
  • He's playing half the snaps. It's odd. But when he's in, he is getting just enough work to be a low end flex play.
  • leads the team in target share and targets per rout run and plays 55% of the snaps.
  • Can move around, but so can Porter Jr if he plays. If he doesn't the other Steelers CBs with snaps this year all have a 100+ passer rating against.
WR44 Kayshon Boutte 13 2.38 3.23 40.54 0.46 18%
C
  • Plays the most snaps and runs the most routes of the WRs in new england
  • gets 1/3rd of the air yards
  • Will see some of Darius Slay and Brandon Echols depending on where he lines up if Joey Porter Jr doesn't go. Both are positive matchups for Boutte. After last week only having one target in a shootout, luckily a score, expectations need to be tempered

TE6 Hunter Henry 16 3.44 5.13 44.5 0.44 70%
bench
  • Hooper had the stats last week, but they had the same amount of targets, Henry a lot more snaps, they played a lot of 12 and that's part of why Diggs is coming off. Henry still had the lone TE red zone target.
  • Over the last year+ they've held most TEs under 35 yards, including all 4 they faced in the first two weeks, although AJ Barner got a score last week against them.

RB20 TreVeyon Henderson 16 10.44 53.63 0.44 2.19 2.63 13.81 0.06 95%
bench
  • Henderson's rush share, target share, both went down and significantly in week 2. Stevenson was crushing it, so maybe hot hand played a factor.
RB31 Rhamondre Stevenson 13 9.46 36.31 0.38 2.31 2.69 24.85 0.08 77%
A
  • The Steelers will likely be without 3 starting defensive lineman and just got crushed by both Kenneth Walker and Breece Hall in the first two weeks.
  • not to mention he's coming off a huge 142 yard day himself where he tacked on 5 receptions
  • Steelers have also allowed the 2nd most yards to running backs
