Pittsburgh @ Philadelphia
Team Totals: Eagles 27, Steelers 16.5
Philly’s D/ST deserves to be an extremely popular play against Kenny Pickett, who through four NFL appearances (three starts) has a 2:7 TD-to-INT ratio while averaging an anemic 5.7 yards per pass attempt. Pickett is a low-end two-QB-league play; the Eagles have allowed the league’s sixth-fewest fantasy quarterback points per game. … Najee Harris faces an uphill Week 8 climb with Pittsburgh visiting Philadelphia as a two-score dog and Jaylen Warren always likely to eat into Harris’ snaps when the Steelers play from behind. … Continuing to look like Pickett’s go-to guy, George Pickens has 80-plus yards and/or a touchdown in three of Pittsburgh’s last four games. I’m still keeping expectations low against stud Eagles perimeter CBs Darius Slay and James Bradberry. … Diontae Johnson has topped 60 receiving yards in 1-of-7 games. … 71% slot man Chase Claypool draws Week 8’s best on-paper matchup among Steelers wide receivers, although Claypool’s to-date production keeps him in WR3/flex territory. … Pickett flashed Week 7 chemistry with Pat Freiermuth, hooking up for team highs in catches (8) and yards (75) against the Fins. Pickett’s completion rate when targeting Freiermuth is an impeccable 87%.
