Pittsburgh @ Cincinnati
Team Totals: Steelers 24.5, Bengals 19
Allowing the NFL’s third-most points (30.5) and second-most yards (394.2) per game, the Bengals’ defense is a sitting duck for offenses exacerbated by the likely absence of top defensive player Trey Hendrickson (hip). Aaron Rodgers has been a fringe QB2/3 — he’s 24th among quarterbacks in FF scoring — but this is one of the best opportunities to deliver a ceiling game Rodgers will get all year. … The Steelers ran something of a three-way RBBC in Week 6’s win over Cleveland paced by Jaylen Warren (13 touches, 31 snaps) with Kenneth Gainwell (12, 20) increasingly on his tail and Kaleb Johnson (six, 11) getting more of a taste than usual. I tentatively expect a similar distribution here, albeit versus a far softer foe. Opposing RBs have set Cincinnati’s defense ablaze for 157/718/6 (4.6 YPC) rushing and the fifth-most receiving yards (278) in the league. Warren is a confident RB2/flex starter, and Gainwell a playable RB3/flex. Johnson is worth a long-shot look on single-game DFS slates.
