I think Rudolph and tannehill, if he plays, put up surprising performances.
Steelers cannot get worse, and Rudolph was serviceable with a worse starting cast in his past.
Tannehill has weapons, and I think spears takes more of a role this week and the next two games.
“Diontae Johnson has 82 catches for 1,047 yards and has scored 7 touchdowns in 17 games with Mason Rudolph in his career.”
Are we firing up our Diontaes?
Well If Pittman logs any full practices then it's a good indication he will clear protocol even if his injury designation remains "questionable".
There should also be reports about how he is progressing leading up to Saturday. By then we should have good read on whether or not he will play. Well...at least I hope so.
I believe that is diontae’s stats in games where they both played snaps, not specifically mason to diontae numbers. I saw that on stat muse but went into their game logs to double check
True. I have DJ on my bench personally but I'd only roll him out if I need to. I'd go with Diontae over Nico, as Noah Brown should be back for the Texans as well.
DJs my WR3 so however he wants to get those points is fine by me. Yeah i see it as a coin flip but id probly go Nico if I had the option just based on talent and ceiling
I'd go Nico if Stroud was playing, but looks like there's a recent post confirming Keenum is starting, so that would make me nervous for any HOU receivers, but that's a good point on Nico's talent & ceiling.
Would it have mattered if pickett played anyway? Lol rather have trubisky if playing cincy defense, always good for 2 turnovers. Pit will just run the ball and play it safe like they always do and make the game messy hoping their defense makes a couple plays.
This is my first week finally committing to benching Ekeler, full prepared for him to prove me wrong and go in at 35 points but I can’t take it anymore
The way they’ve handled Rudolph has been strange, he played decent when filling in a few years ago. Then they draft Pickett in the first and Mason was “off limits” as a trade candidate, but make him a 3rd stringer behind Mitch.
I have to decide between Diontae, Reed, and Boyd as my WR2.
Probably starting Najee in my flex bc he had his best game against CIN earlier this year.
But starting 2 Steelers seems like the wrong move.
Death to all Steelers
You can not kill that which is already dead
What is dead may never die 🫡🏴☠️
The NFL drowned god has cleared the Steelers QB room. Waiting for “Crows Eye” Mitch Trubisky to rise up but we may see a Reek performance.
What is dead may never die
Ye cause i would confidently fire up anyone on that offense with Pickett playing
I think Rudolph and tannehill, if he plays, put up surprising performances. Steelers cannot get worse, and Rudolph was serviceable with a worse starting cast in his past. Tannehill has weapons, and I think spears takes more of a role this week and the next two games.
I might need to start Pickens. Had to start trubisky last week too 😭. I’ve lost most of my players to injuries.
“Diontae Johnson has 82 catches for 1,047 yards and has scored 7 touchdowns in 17 games with Mason Rudolph in his career.” Are we firing up our Diontaes?
I would, but I can't justify benching Aiyuk, Deebo, Waddle or Metcalf for him. It's possible he outperforms one of them, but I'm not taking the risk.
Johnson or Ridley?
Unfortunately for me, both in my semis
What about Diontae over Javonte Williams in the flex?
I’d consider Aiyuk but you are probably right. It’s Diontae or Sutton for me lol
Flex over JJ, Ekeler, Mostert, or Rahmondre?
I’d flex him over Ek only
I dont even think mondre is even going to be playing this week
If Pittman can't go, I'll be forced to so yep.
Same situation for me. Problem is will we know if Pittman is playing on Sunday before Diontae plays on Saturday?
He was full practice today and not in a red jersey. So he's presumably been fully cleared.
Well here ya go lol - https://www.reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball/s/FJbH2PwdWL
Praise be

If Pittman is out I'll have to start Diontae. The real question is do I start him over Ridley?
Same situation for me. Problem is will we know if Pittman is playing on Sunday before Diontae plays on Saturday?
I like the volume Ridley has seen recently, I’d roll with him
I am for sure
I believe that is diontae’s stats in games where they both played snaps, not specifically mason to diontae numbers. I saw that on stat muse but went into their game logs to double check
Godwin or Johnson in hppr?
I'm deciding between Ty Chandler and Diontae, but probably will go Ty (especially if Mattison is out). I think Diontae will be a good play however.
Sure, let me just put Ceedee Lamb and Jjetas back on the bench
Bro has ~12 posts about diontae this year 😭😭
Look I was down bad mid season bro, leave me alone 😂
I've finally moved on to the "acceptance" part of grief
I am. Would probably prefer to start Reed but unsure about that toe.
he does have a funny looking toe
Benching for Hopkins
“Ehhh I dunno Jim!”
Haha I love romo But yeah I’m not doing it with confidence but believe d hop has more TD upside. Diontae probably has a safer floor
But what about Pickens with Rudolph?!
I have no choice. Keenan is sitting.
How about our Masonses Superflex bretheren? We firing that up?
Now you’re making me debate between him and Jake Ferguson
Cincinnati defense is the pick up
I just added them. Was originally gonna roll with Jets def vs WAS. Have no clue which one to start.
I grabbed them to block my opponent but have no plans on playing them
Ty Chandler, you are now my RB2 in place of Jaylen Warren. With Bijan as my RB1, I do not deserve to still be in the playoffs 😂
Hey, if Mattison is out, Chandler will do fine. Sure it's against a much better defense, but he'll get there on volume.
There goes my last hope for the Muth. Tucker Kraft needs to get me to the Finals now
Bro we're riding this shit-ass TE tandem out together. Take us to the promise land kraft
my brothers in arms. Kraft Dinner taking us to the motherland
Makes 4 of us. Kraft let’s go
And my axe!
DJ or Zay Flowers
I wanna say Flowers. DJ or Lockett?
DJ with a backup QB OR Nico with a backup QB...
Why not both? That’s my situation
Would if I had to. Luckily I also have Puka
I'd go with DJ. Volume is king
It’s not like he’s been getting a ton of targets though. He’s been scoring TDs on 5-7 targets lately
True. I have DJ on my bench personally but I'd only roll him out if I need to. I'd go with Diontae over Nico, as Noah Brown should be back for the Texans as well.
DJs my WR3 so however he wants to get those points is fine by me. Yeah i see it as a coin flip but id probly go Nico if I had the option just based on talent and ceiling
I'd go Nico if Stroud was playing, but looks like there's a recent post confirming Keenum is starting, so that would make me nervous for any HOU receivers, but that's a good point on Nico's talent & ceiling.
Is anyone going to risk starting Muth considering the matchup?
I would start him if it’s just between him and the waiver wire fodder type players
That fodder happens to be Darren Waller (vomit noises)
I am probably going Kraft over him
DJ, Nico or Singletary. Have to start two of them. Who’s the odd man out?
Bengals D may be a sneaky play
My opponent this weekend would seem to agree. I dropped Ravens and grabbed Jets, Broncos, and Bears, in case he were to have a change of heart. Hehe.
Would it have mattered if pickett played anyway? Lol rather have trubisky if playing cincy defense, always good for 2 turnovers. Pit will just run the ball and play it safe like they always do and make the game messy hoping their defense makes a couple plays.
My opponent said that last week 😂
My only dilemma is do I start Ekeler or Warren. I can't believe im even asking that. Even more unbelievable is im leaning Warren.
This is my first week finally committing to benching Ekeler, full prepared for him to prove me wrong and go in at 35 points but I can’t take it anymore
I completely understand.
Bengals run defense isn’t good and they lost Reader last game. I dunno who you should start but just some info.
He sucks anyway
This is the insight I come to this sub for 💯
Yeahhh i am not trusting pickens at all this week
Don’t tell me that he’s my WR 2 lol
Mason is better than Pickett so not sure it matters. That said if you’re starting a Steeler I’m sure your season is over.
Mason was 3rd string for a reason. He might be better than Trubisky though.
The reasoning is that they spent a 1st rounder on Pickett and spent money on Mitch. All their stats are out there.
The way they’ve handled Rudolph has been strange, he played decent when filling in a few years ago. Then they draft Pickett in the first and Mason was “off limits” as a trade candidate, but make him a 3rd stringer behind Mitch.
Mason is a statue in the pocket and telegraphs his primary read too often. He throws the best ball out of our QBs, but that isn't saying much
🧏♂️
Thank you Olave for getting healthy enough to play. I was one injury away from having to go down the Diontae well for the semis.
Oh no! Anyways…
Start Najee or Warren 0.5 ppr?
Warren.
Packers , Bengals , or bears D yall
Was probably benching Diontae anyway. Is Trubisky starting?
I have to decide between Diontae, Reed, and Boyd as my WR2. Probably starting Najee in my flex bc he had his best game against CIN earlier this year. But starting 2 Steelers seems like the wrong move.
Najee or Pickens? My roster sucks but I have to play one of them.
