I truly believe this is a Kamara ceiling game, despite Hill being under center. No Ingram to steal carries, and he gets the weakest run defense in the league.
Dalvin Cook is expected to give it a go against the Steelers but this depends on pre-game warmups. I’m betting he plays but is not a top-ten option.
Mixon apparently is sick and it’s not COVID but check back before gametime on Sunday. If he’s playing I love him against San Fran. If not bump Burrow.
Fournette is likely to be a top-seven fixture the rest of the way, even against a team like Buffalo. The Pats exposed their run D last week, let’s see if it carries over.
