Monday Night Football
Pittsburgh @ Cincinnati
Team Totals: Steelers 27, Bengals 13
Even after a Week 14 loss to Buffalo in which Ben Roethlisberger looked every bit his age and his pass catchers continued to fail him with another flurry of drops, Pittsburgh stands to benefit from an extra day of rest ahead of Monday night’s get-right spot. Ben’s pocket will surely be clean; Cincinnati ranks dead last in pressure rate (25%), while the Steelers’ offense has conceded pressure at the NFL’s lowest clip (25%). Sports Info Solutions has charged the Bengals with allowing the league’s highest rate of explosive passes (10%), an element otherwise missing from Pittsburgh’s to-date dink-and-dunk attack. Even after being held to fantasy finishes of QB15 or worse in nine of his last 12 starts, Roethlisberger offers enough matchup- and supporting cast-driven upside for low-end QB1 valuation here. … The Steelers’ headache-inducing running back shuffling continued in last week’s defeat. Jaylen Samuels led the unit in snaps (47%), James Conner handled a team-high 10 carries but was nonexistent in the passing game and pulled his quad, Benny Snell (9%, 3 touches) was hardly heard from, and Anthony McFarland was a healthy scratch.
