Pittsburgh @ L.A. Chargers
Team Totals: Steelers 21, Chargers 24
Even in being pressured at the lowest rate (12.8%) of any QB in Week 9, Aaron Rodgers completed one pass of 10+ Air Yards including 5.6 yards per attempt against zone coverage, which the Chargers and DC Jesse Minter scheme on 80% of snaps (fifth). There are better streamers available on waivers — Marcus Mariota, J.J. McCarthy, Justin Fields —than settling for Rodgers in Superflex leagues. … Jaylen Warren’s out-touched the rest of Pittsburgh’s backfield 53-21 the last three games with 100% of their RB carries inside the 10. It’s an easier spot for Warren this week, too, since the Chargers, Bengals, and Giants are equally permitting a league-worst 2.9 yards before contact per run. Kenneth Gainwell remains an elite stash if Warren were injured, as Rodgers has targeted this backfield on 24.6% (third) of throws.
