IC LITE – SHOWDOWN ::

GAME SETUP ::
  • Spread and total – Steelers favored by 2.5 with a 38.5 total in Cleveland.
  • Context – Both teams are 2-1; Rico Dowdle missed walkthroughs and may sit again.
CLEVELAND PIECES ::
  • Quinshon Judkins – Underpriced at $8,800 with massive carry share and nine catches on nine targets this season.
  • Harold Fannin Jr. – Top Browns pass-catcher candidate with 18 targets, a big red zone role, and exciting upside.
  • KC Concepcion Jr. – Team target leader at 20 on a $6,400 salary; safer floor than Boston but shorter ADoT caps ceiling.
PITTSBURGH PIECES ::
  • Jaylen Warren – Best skill position play in the game if Dowdle sits again after a 90% snap share last week.
  • DK Metcalf – Ugly efficiency so far but leads the team in targets by a wide margin in a solid matchup.
  • Roman Wilson – Second on the team with 18 targets at just $4k, though a Week 3 benching adds risk.
