Examining the Roster for the Pittsburgh Steelers

Week 11 brings us a divisional showdown between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns. While this matchup might not be the most exciting for fantasy football and betting, there are still a few key elements to consider.

Running Backs Take Center Stage: In a game that might lack star power and high-scoring potential, running backs become essential fantasy assets. Both the Steelers and the Browns could lean heavily on their ground games in this contest. Jaylen Warren for the Steelers and Jerome Ford for the Browns are the primary focal points for their respective teams’ rushing attacks. If you have either of these running backs on your fantasy roster, they are must-starts, given their volume and potential to find the end zone.

Pittsburgh’s Fortunate Season: The Steelers have had a somewhat fortunate season, managing to win despite being outgained in every game. They have also faced several backup quarterbacks, including this week’s opponent, Dorian Thompson-Robinson. With a backup quarterback starting for the Browns, Pittsburgh might continue their charmed run. However, beyond Warren, there aren’t many appealing fantasy options on the Steelers’ roster for this game. Wide receiver Diontae Johnson could be a consideration, but expectations should be tempered.

Cleveland’s Quarterback Situation: The Browns’ quarterback situation has been in flux, with Deshaun Watson out for the regular season. Dorian Thompson-Robinson got the nod over PJ Walker as the starter, indicating that the Browns might see him as a long-term option. However, the uncertainty at the quarterback position doesn’t make any of the Browns’ pass-catchers particularly enticing fantasy options. Amari Cooper could be worth a look, but overall, this game might not provide many fantasy fireworks.

Conclusion: As we approach Week 11’s matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns, fantasy football managers should focus on their running backs. Warren and Ford are the players to rely on, given their potential for a heavy workload and scoring opportunities. Beyond the running backs, there aren’t many standout fantasy options in this game. While the Steelers have enjoyed some good fortune this season, this matchup might not be one to circle on your calendar for fantasy excitement. Nonetheless, enjoy the game, and may your fantasy football decisions and bets in Week 11 prove successful!
