The Pittsburgh Steelers improved their record to 3-0 last week in what was their best offensive showing of the 2024 season. Wide receiver George Pickens had his second-best game of the year, while quarterback Justin Fields had his best.
Fields completed 25-of-32 passes for 245 yards and one touchdown to one pick, which was his first of the season. The signal-caller added a rushing score, also, but finished with just six yards on the ground.
Pickens tallied five catches for 57 yards, but he remains without a touchdown on the season. Still, it was a decent bounce-back performance after he did even less the week prior.
So, are we rolling out either Fields or Pickens when the Steelers take on the Indianapolis Colts this week? Let's discuss.
Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Week 4: George Pickens
Pickens managed to hit double-digit fantasy points in PPR leagues last week, which was a step in the right direction. And, the offense as a whole had its best game of the 2024 campaign.
There is nothing scary about a Colts defense ceding the seventh-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season. Pickens remains the clear No. 1 option in the offense and you can roll him out there as a flex option.
Verdict: Start 'Em
Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Week 4: Justin Fields
Fields looked more comfortable in the offense in Week 3 than he has at any point this season and managed to have his most productive outing.
We'd still like to see him bring up those rushing yards to offer a higher floor, but you can do worse than Fields and his matchup against an Indianapolis defense giving up the 11th-most fantasy points per game to signal-callers.
Fields is worth a look, as we expect solid QB2 production out of him this week.
Verdict: Start 'Em
