Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers are working on a deal to sign Mike McCarthy as the organization's next head coach.

Fantasy Impact

McCarthy will succeed Mike Tomlin as the head man for the Steelers. Like Tomlin, McCarthy is one of the winningest coaches in NFL history, with a career record of 60.8% and 174 wins (15th). The Steelers value stability, and McCarthy brings that, along with ties to the city.

After 19 seasons at the helm of the Pittsburgh Steelers, head coach Mike Tomlin is stepping down as the Steel City’s head man.

Fantasy Impact

Tomlin was the longest-tenured active head coach in the NFL for one of the steadiest organizations in the league. The Steelers have had just three coaches since 1969, becoming a pillar of institutional stability. Tomlin never had a losing record as a head coach. However, after failing to win a playoff game since 2016, the Super Bowl champion head coach has informed the organization that he will step down, which will heavily impact Pittsburgh’s offseason plans.

The Steelers D/ST allowed 24 points while notching three sacks and forcing one turnover in a 26-24 win over the Ravens in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact

The Steelers played just well enough to knock off the Ravens. They were boosted by the return of T.J. Watt from injury. Pittsburgh will now host the Texans in the Wild-Card round of the playoffs while the Ravens will go home.

Steelers D/ST allowed 184 passing yards, 78 rushing yards, and 13 points in a 13-6 loss to the Browns.

Fantasy Impact

The Steelers' defense tallied two interceptions, two sacks, and four passes defensed in the loss. The Steelers' defense did all they could to keep the team in the game, but the offense could not mount a comeback. They will take on the Ravens in a matchup to determine the winner of the AFC North in Week 18.

The Steelers D/ST allowed 24 points on 361 total yards with three sacks on Sunday against the Lions.

Fantasy Impact

Pittsburgh completely shut down the run game for the Lions, but Jared Goff got whatever he wanted in the passing game. The Steelers avoided allowing a fourth passing touchdown following a pair of offensive pass interference calls in the final seconds. They will face the Browns next week.
