Steelers RB Jaylen Warren 110+ Total Yards (+109)
Warren has taken control of Pittsburgh’s backfield with Rico Dowdle sidelined, playing nearly 90% of the snaps against Cincinnati. He made the most of that workload, finishing with 127 rushing yards and 49 receiving yards on 20 touches. Warren is averaging 5.7 yards per carry and 11 yards per reception this season, and Cleveland ranks 23rd in EPA against the run, giving him another favorable matchup Thursday night.
Browns RB Raheim Sanders 15+ Receiving Yards (+112)
Sanders is seeing his role grow in Cleveland’s passing game, catching four passes for 34 yards on five targets last week while playing a season-high 42.9% of the snaps. He has at least three receptions in two of three games and is averaging 22 receiving yards. Pittsburgh’s aggressive pass rush could force Deshaun Watson into more quick throws and checkdowns, keeping Sanders involved as the Browns’ primary third-down back.
Steelers TE Darnell Washington Over 16.5 Receiving Yards (-113)
Washington is coming off his best game of the season, catching three passes for 67 yards on four targets while playing 76% of Pittsburgh’s snaps. Cleveland is allowing 10.4 yards per reception to tight ends, sixth most in the NFL, and Carolina’s tight ends combined for 92 yards against the Browns last week. With the Steelers looking to their tight ends and Washington’s role expanding, the big target should remain involved Thursday night.
