Harold Fannin Jr. Note

What a rookie season it has been for Fannin. From starting the season firmly behind David Njoku, the rookie has made his mark as a dynamic player on this offense. With 31 targets over his last three games and three touchdowns in his last four games, he has become one of the most productive TEs down the stretch. This week, they face the Steelers who have allowed the 10th most fantasy points to the position since Week 10. Keep riding the breakout rookie.

Dylan Sampson Note

Dylan Sampson could be Cleveland's lead back this week. He has been listed as questionable (hand) after practicing on a limited basis all week. Among 66 qualifying backs, Sampson ranks 25th in explosive run rate, ninth in missed tackle rate, and 26th in yards after contact per attempt. Sampson is a solid volume-driven flex play this week that could easily push for 15-20 touches. Since Week 12, Pittsburgh has allowed the 13th-most rushing yards per game, the seventh-highest explosive run rate, and the 13th-highest rushing success rate.

Jerry Jeudy Note

Since Week 12, Jerry Jeudy has been the WR52 in fantasy points per game with a 13.1% target share, 35 receiving yards per game, 1.16 yards per route run, and a 17.5% first-read share. In those five games, Jeudy has had zero red zone targets and five deep targets. Jeudy has finished higher than WR59 in weekly scoring only once during this stretch. Sit Jeudy again this week. Pittsburgh's pass defense has toughened up. Since Week 12, the Steelers have allowed the 11th-fewest PPR points per target and the seventh-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Raheim Sanders Note

Last week, Raheim Sanders took over the early down role for Cleveland, finishing with 12 touches and 46 total yards. Sanders didn't manage any explosive runs, but he had a 7% missed tackle rate and 2.86 yards after contact per attempt. Sanders is a risky flex with Sampson active. Since Week 12, Pittsburgh has allowed the 13th-most rushing yards per game, the seventh-highest explosive run rate, and the 13th-highest rushing success rate. Sanders could operate as the goalline back this week, which makes him a low-end touchdown-driven flex play.
