The Steelers will face the Giants on the road Monday.

Analysis: The Steelers could easily be one of the best defenses in football this year, as they returned all their stars after leading the league with 38 turnovers and 54 sacks last season. While QB Daniel Jones is on an upward trajectory, he still turned the ball over 23 times in 13 games last year, so the Steelers' menacing pass rush won't do him any favors. Furthermore, the Steelers have more dependable QB play this year, so the defense won't be put in such difficult situations or get pegged Mason…read more

The Steelers led the league in turnovers (38) and sacks (54) in 2019.

Analysis: The Steelers' defense was going to be good last year regardless, but the addition of FS Minkah Fitzpatrick vaulted them into elite territory, as he picked off five passes and ran two back for scores. They retained most of their talent, too, and with a young corps led by LB T.J. Watt and LB Devin Bush, they are once again a top fantasy target heading into 2020.

The Steelers allowed 16 points and 259 total yards in Week 16's loss to the Jets.

Analysis: The Steelers held a fifth straight team to fewer than 20 points, and now they won't have to face Lamar Jackson or Mark Ingram in the season finale. While there's nothing to play for on either side, the Steelers are an intriguing DFS option. Robert Griffin, while was once on track to be like Jackson, isn't the same quarterback anymore and surely isn't as skilled. It's tough to project exactly who the Ravens will roll out, but the Steelers lead the league with 36 turnovers and rank second with 51…read more

The Steelers allowed 17 points and 261 total yards to the Bills in Week 15's loss.

Analysis: The Steelers also notched two turnovers, marking their fourth straight multi-turnover game and 12th of the year. They rank second in the league with 35 total turnovers and first with 49 sacks. The Jets are an outstanding opponent for championship contenders looking to deploy Steelers D/ST. Gang Green ranks 28th with 17.6 PPG and 31st with 274.1 total YPG. Furthermore, the upside is desirable, as they've coughed up the ball 23 times -- 11th-most -- while Sam Darnold is sacked on 7.1 percent of…read more

The Steelers allowed 17 points and 236 yards to the Cardinals while forcing three turnovers in Week 14's win.

Analysis: The Steelers have notched two or more turnovers in 11 of their last 12 games, totaling a league-high 33 during that stretch to add to their 48 sacks, which also ranks first. Their defense hasn't shown weakness from their ineffective offense, although that is a moderate concern going up against the Bills. Still, the ceiling here is intriguing, as Josh Allen is sacked on 7.5 percent of dropbacks (12th highest). The Bills are frugal with the ball, turning it over just 14 times, but their 21.1 PPG…read more

The Steelers allowed 13 points and 279 total yards in Week 13's win over the Browns.

Analysis: The Steelers also posted two turnovers, marking their 10th multi-turnover game in the last 11 contests. That just adds to their upside since the Steelers rank third with 3.57 sacks per game. The Cardinals are vulnerable on their offensive front, as Kyler Murray has been sacked on 8.8 percent of dropbacks, but they've only coughed up nine turnovers. They can open up the game with their passing game, though, and they've surpassed over 25 points in six of their last eight contests. The high…read more

The Steelers yielded 10 points and forced two turnovers in Week 12's win over the Bengals.

Analysis: The Steelers did what was necessary against the Bengals, and now they'll face the Browns for the second time in three weeks. Lately, QB Baker Mayfield has performed to the level we expected him to all season, tossing seven touchdowns and just one pick while averaging 252.7 passing YPG over the last three weeks. The Steelers should benefit from facing them at home, although their inability to chase down Mayfield during their last meeting is troubling. However, they had a few opportunities for…read more

The Steelers allowed 21 points and didn't force a turnover in Week 11's loss to the Browns.

Analysis: The Steelers eight-game, multi-turnover streak came crashing down, as they mishandled a couple of Baker Mayfield's errant passes but altogether were ineffective with just one sack against a weak offensive front. They have a timely matchup to get back on track, as the Bengals haven't surpassed 17 points in five games, while QB Ryan Finley has been a disaster, completing 47.5 percent of his passes and recording 4.6 YPA. Considering the Steelers' defense ranks ninth with 7.0 YPA and fourth with…read more

The Steelers allowed 12 points and forced four turnovers, returning one for a touchdown, in Week 10's win over the Rams.

Analysis: The Steelers registered another masterful game in the fantasy realm, as they stacked up at least three turnovers for the fifth straight game. SS Minkah Fitzpatrick may be the trade of the year with five interceptions in seven contests with the Steelers, and he's responsible for touchdowns in each of the last two outings. The Steelers are no longer a secret for fantasy purposes, as they rank second only to the Patriots with 26 turnovers on the season. They need to be deployed agianst the Browns,…read more
