Tennessee Titans
Will Levis, QB
Will Levis Prop to Target: Lower than 201.5 passing yards
Levis had an awesome NFL debut in Week 8 throwing for 4 touchdowns but let’s not kid ourselves, Will Levis isn’t that good. That’s why he sat behind Ryan Tannehill and Malik Willis for so long. Levis will look for more pedestrian against a Steelers defence that is significantly better than he faced in his debut.
Derrick Henry, RB
Derrick Henry Prop to Target: Higher than 70.5 rushing yards
Henry has gone over 95 rushing yards in three of his last four games. This week he is facing the Pittsburgh Steelers who are allowing the 7th most fantasy points to opposing running backs and give up yards in bunches. If Will Levis starts to struggle, look for the Titans to lean heavily on their veteran running back.
DeAndre Hopkins, WR
DeAndre Hopkins Prop to Target: Higher than 53.5 receiving yards
Hopkins has seen a career resurgence as the Alpha in Tennessee. He’s gone over 125 receiving yards in two of the last three games and has topped this receiving total in three of the last four games. Look for him to see a large target share as the rookie quarterback will almost certainly lean on the veteran when he does throw the ball, as we saw in Week 8 with his 3 touchdown performance.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Kenny Pickett, QB
Kenny Pickett Prop to Target: Higher than 217.5 passing yards
Pickett has hit this number in five of his seven games this season and while he certainly does not qualify as a prolific passer, this passing total is fairly conservative. The Titans are a pass-funnel team and even the struggling sophomore should be able to carve them up for more than 250 yards.
Najee Harris, RB
Najee Harris Prop to Target: Lower than 45.5 rushing yards
Harris has been inefficient and is losing work to Jaylen Warren. Add in a matchup with a stout Titans run defence that is one of the tougher matchups for running backs and I want no part of Najee in this one.
George Pickens, WR
George Pickens Prop to Target: Lower than 52.5 receiving yards.
Pickens was the Steelers Alpha while Diontae Johnson was out of the lineup, and even in Johnsons’ first week back he held onto his target share. In Week 8 we saw a healthy Johnson take over the lead role again causing Pickens’ targets to drop to a season-low of five. It looks like this is the end of the hot streak for George Pickens.
