Expert
Andrew Erickson FantasyPros	Week 1? Home versus the Atlanta Falcons. That in itself justifies selecting the Steelers DST. They also come in at No. 4 in the projections - but this unit has seen a fall-off over the last 2 seasons (4 to 9). The Steelers' secondary was shredded at times last season, allowing the fourth-most passing yards per game and ranking third in total missed tackles. FA acquisitions Jaquan Brisker and Jamel Dean should help bolster the back-end, but this defense STILL projects as one of the oldest in the league. But the third-easiest schedule through the first eight games suggests they start the year strongly.	Best turnover luck imaginable last season and still didn't finish as a top-12 unit in 2025.
