The AFC North is one of the best divisions in football year after year. In 2023, they saw three of their four teams make the playoffs and one – the Ravens – make it to the AFC title game.
As we turn toward 2024 and look at all of the changes in this division, the one thing that comes to mind for me is, “Here we go again.” We dive into the division and examine the dynasty draft outlook for each team. Let’s get into it.

Pittsburgh Steelers
Fantasy Depth Chart
- QB: Russell Wilson, Justin Fields
- RB: Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren
- WR: George Pickens, Van Jefferson, Roman Wilson (R)
- TE: Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington
The Steelers shocked the world last season, finishing 10-6 and squeaking into the playoffs to face the Buffalo Bills. They put up a fight but couldn’t hold on. Still, their season was a success just because they made it to the postseason. The team finished with a meager 5,173 total offensive yards, 28th overall, so many in fantasy circles weren’t that impressed. They were also 25th in passing (3,163 yards) and 13th in rushing (2,010 yards).
This season should look very different for a few key reasons. The first of which is that instead of QB Kenny Pickett under center, the team added two new signal callers to fight for the right to start: Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Most expect Wilson to win out, but Fields could get a good chance to see snaps weekly based on his rushing abilities alone. I want to roster both in superflex leagues just in case Fields ends up being the better option. Not only that, but the team lost WR Diontae Johnson in free agency and added WR Van Jefferson in return.
Another main addition to this offense came by way of drafting Michigan WR Roman Wilson in the third round. Wilson should see starter reps right away, making him fantasy-relevant immediately.
I’m also very curious to see how long of a leash the team gives RB Najee Harris with how well RB Jaylen Warren played last year. Overall, this team will look different than 2023, and for fantasy, that’s definitely a good thing.
