San Francisco 49ers:

Carlos Hyde (Running Back): Hyde is the main guy in the 49ers offense. He put up a ridiculous amount of points last weekend and should have no trouble running against the Steelers. The Steelers defense has a ton of holes so it is a possibility he could have another big night.

Jarryd Hayne (Running Back): Hayne is the primary backup with Reggie Bush out so this should provide him with enough opportunities to make him a consistent flex option in the upcoming weeks.

Torrey Smith/Anquan Boldin (Wide Receivers): Boldin is the better option than smith at this point however the 49ers running game is the main focus in that offense. Boldin logged more targets than Smith but both were relatively quiet. Smith and Boldin are boom or bust WR3's this week.

Pittsburgh Steelers

Antonio Brown (Wide Receiver): Brown is a fantasy proof wide receiver, especially in PPR. Whatever happens on game day Brown will put up double digit points.

Markus Wheaton/Darrius Heyward-Bey (Wide Receiver): This situation is more complicated, Wheaton should by all means get the targets but he needs to catch them to get more. Heyward-Bey was about to be a Wheaton vulture last week until he caught a touchdown with his foot on the end zone line rendering it out of bounds. After that Wheaton saw more deep balls. If you don't have any of good options Wheaton will most likely be your guy but be wary.

Heath Miller (Tight End): Miller is by far the best valued tight end out there. He goes undrafted in most leagues but has the potential to put up double digit fantasy points (while Bryant and Bell are out). Miller is another must start this week and should see a decent amount of targets.
