I will assume this question is related to fantasy football, and I don’t know enough about how your particular league operates to feel confident enough to give you a yes or no answer. “We can’t let him break the pocket and get outside”.

While most comments will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. Last week, that defense looked suspect, giving up 361 yards. They say they can’t wait to see him, having been shredded by Tom Brady’s rapid-draw release last week. What I do believe is that Markus Wheaton will continue to emerge as a playmaker for this Steelers offense, because of a combination of Martavis Bryant being unavailable for the next three weeks and opposing defenses continuing to try to come up with ways to limit Antonio Brown’s production. The Steelers were without a suspended James Harrison that night, but the defense wasn’t the problem as Pittsburgh outpossessed and outgained San Francisco but couldn’t muster a single TD in a 20-3 loss to the playoff-bound Niners.
4) So much of this could swing to the good or the bad based on Kaepernick’s play, which we’ve said a time or two in previous seasons, haven’t we? “(Cockrell has) done good things in practice”, Butler said. On 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh, he said that he has had suspicions about the Patriots knowing Steelers plays dating back to the 2004 AFC Championship Game. Charles Woodson will either be out or playing with a dislocated shoulder. He also has a bit more size to counter their tight ends in the passing game. Ravens QB Joe Flacco is primed for a good day. “For whatever reason. Maybe it was better scouting or whatever”.
“I don’t think we had something that was broke”. Not even in Kansas City. Because this one… even the best teams in the league would have a rough time with this one. “You’re not going to hear anybody give excuses before or after the game”. Look for Pittsburgh to avoid the 0-2 hole by pulling out a close one at home.
The Steelers host the 49ers at Heinz Field Sunday with a 1PM EDT kickoff. The edge clearly goes to the Steelers, especially at home.
Obviously, Baalke and Tomsula want to run the ball.
Was flashing all over the field in their game against the New England Patriots last Thursday, and showed a lot of promise as to what he could eventually contribute to a lagging Steelers defense.
RAIDERS +6, over Baltimore. The 49ers were actually a 2.5-point underdog entering the game and they went under the 41.5-point total. That s what they displayed on Monday night, when the Vikings third-down efficiency was 1-of-9.
CHICAGO +1.5, over Arizona. Because the Vikings opted to re-kick, the 49ers replaced Hayne with Bruce Ellington, a move Tomsula said Monday is commonly made to get fresh legs on the field, such as with gunners on do-over punt coverage. Carlos Hyde and the defense are going to get all the headlines, and they deserve it, but I liked the way Colin Kaepernick played.
INDIANAPOLIS -6, over New York Jets.
But at some point, Kaepernick will have to hit long pass plays, perhaps his biggest flaw. Pittsburgh visited New England in the very first game of the year, falling to the defending champs, 28-21.

That isn’t awful , but I’m not sure it’s worth $18 million a year, and that’s the part that Jed York and Trent Baalke will be analyzing every week this season.
