Chicago @ Pittsburgh
Team Totals: Steelers 23, Bears 17
Justin Fields visits Heinz Field coming off his year-best fantasy game fueled by a 10/103/1 rushing line in Chicago’s loss to San Francisco. Yet only two of Fields’ Week 8 carries occurred on designed runs, while Fields has yet to clear 210 passing yards on the season. The Steelers’ D/ST is an elite play here; Pittsburgh ranks top five in sack rate (7.3%), while Fields has averaged four sacks taken and committed eight turnovers through six NFL starts. I do buy into teeing up Fields aggressively in single-game DFS tournaments. … With Damien Williams (knee), David Montgomery (knee, I.R.), and Tarik Cohen (knee, PUP) all either banged up or out of commission, Khalil Herbert looks like the top individual fantasy play on Chicago’s side. Pittsburgh’s stout defensive front has held enemy running backs to the NFL’s ninth-fewest fantasy points, yet Herbert’s Weeks 5-8 touch counts of 18, 21, 23, and 25 place him in elite usage territory at a position where fantasy results are mainly dictated by volume and opportunity.
