The Pittsburgh Steelers are in desperate need of a win and they will have to travel an ocean away to get it, as the team is in London this week to play the Minnesota Vikings and with both clubs 0-3, each will be looking for a victory on Sunday.
Fantasy football owners have been looking at the tinning game for the Steelers for weeks and now it may finally get some clarity, as rookie Le'Veon Bell is set to make his debut for the team and it couldn't come a moment too soon, as Isaac Redman, Felix Jones and Jonathan Dwyer have not gotten the job done and that is one reason why the team is stuck at 0-3 this season.
Fantasy-wise, the best players to look at for the Steelers in Week 4 are Heath Miller, Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown, with Bell added to that list as well. Miller is still getting back to game speed after just returning from an injury and his familiarity with Roethlisberger could mean a solid game for Miller after making three catches in the loss against the Bears. Bell could have a nice day since the Vikings defense is struggling and on top of that, it could help open up the passing game for Roethlisberger.
Big Ben will be playing in the same city as Big Ben on Sunday and based on the way the Vikings have played, Roethlisberger could have a good game if he gets a solid rushing attack, or at least one that can consistently gain positive years even if it isn't a lot. The play action game has been a total wash for the Steelers this season since Bell has been out, but now that he is back Roethlisberger might be able to finally get defenses to stop cheating up on the Steelers.
Roethlisberger has not looked comfortable this season and that has had to do with the lack of run production as well as the injuries along the offensive line and while he passed for 406 yards last week against the Bears, that was more due to the situation in the game and he threw for two TDs and two picks, giving him four TDs and four interceptions for the season. Roethlisberger is better than this and he and the Steelers know it, but they also know injuries are taking their toll. If Bell plays, Roethlisberger is a hard start.
Heath Miller and Antonio Brown are the top receiver plays, as the tight end should be more productive after making three catches on four targets for 35 yards in his first game. The Vikings linebackers are a solid matchup, but Miller should be able to get some open looks.
Brown has been the most consistent receiver for the Steelers, making 20 catches on 29 targets for over 300 yards and currently ranks fifth in the league in yards and he has two touchdowns to go along with it. He made nine catches last week for 196 yards and two touchdowns and he could be posed for another big game.
