Ty and Will take advantage of the boss being off. Steelers nation is a contentious bunch for fantasy football heading into 2020. From the absence and impending return of Big Ben to the abundant expiring contracts the likes of Ju-Ju Smith Schuster and James Connor are discussed. Fantasy values for Pittsburgh players and how to attack this offense are what you'll leave with and the best feel for a team as tough to predict as any for the upcoming season. 

There's a couple audio transitions that are off. They shouldn't be very noticeable or anything  but our apologies. It won't happen again and the conversation was too enjoyable to do anything other than post it.

3:00 Big Ben is back but is this offense losing their Fantasy relevance?

Fragility/ Team Direction/ Passing Weapons

No Antonio Brown under discussed from 2019/ Diontae Johnson slides into that “role” and suits offense

WR room impressed while QB play was the WOAT last year

DJ vs Washington

5:30 Diontae Johnson talk starts and goes throughout

11:30 Play volume/ Lack of TDs 

Run Game in PIT

Steelers did not lean on the run game sans Big Ben

PIT to draft a big name rookie RB?

12:15 James Connor talent vs situation + injuries/ Top 10 RB in PPG/  Just can’t stay healthy/ contract year/ Connor gone in 2021?

Still covet the lead back in PIT?

14:45 Steelers depth at RB/ 33% of the lowest scoring RBs in the NFL were Steelers in 2019

Benny Snail leaves a lot to be desired/ Jaylen Samuels is tellingly, barely discussed

17:30 Ju-Ju Smith-Schuster science based conspiracy/ contract year/ precedent/ fantasy value

Steelers draft plans and WR meetings

is Ju-Ju replaceable? 

YAC threat/ 7th best fantasy start since NFL merger/ red zone upside and regression to the mean

22:30 Steelers Air Yard fallacy

James Washington 2020 mirage

team pass volume

Big Ben CAY per attempt= 4th worst in 2018/ Big Ben 2020 hopes

25:00 Eric Ebron is beloved by Lions fans/ Ebron of past/ 

Real life win for PIT/ Compliments Vance? 

Tough to predict the TE room? 

Will was witness to Vance McDonalds physical assault on Chris Conte

Durability for Vance/ Ebron has talent

Steelers TE MS % under Tomlin & Ben/ boom/bust proposition
