Actually Pickett has sucked up to now. I hate to hand out credit to a Steeler, but Steelers haven't had a real QB since Big Ben. However Sunday Pickett was on the ground injured and never returned in the game, and a few days later on Thursday he plays injured but toughs it out for the win. Now THAT will earn him a lot of respect from his teammates, and help him go from being some dude out of college, to being a field general and leader of his Steeler teammates. Pickett on the ground injured Sunday and playing injured but winning Thursday is the type of leadership Burrow has done, and the D Players and big O Linemen will gain more respect for Pickett for it. ....Man, I'm choking on saying something nice about a Steeler.
I grabbed Johnson off free agency in Bengals Board Fantasy. I didn't start him last night, but he is back healthy after injuries. Next week my Ty Hill is on bye week, so Johnson slides into his spot for me. When healthy, Johnson is one of the best, and scored the game winning TD for Steelers. Number 18 has looked good since back from injuries. He may help my Fantasy Team greatly second half of season. I have Hill, Higgins, Johnson and Bills Davis for pretty good WR depth.
Steelers could be a lot tougher with Johnson back and Pickett finally doing things to be not just a QB, but a team leader and field general. Harris got back to running the ball tough last night also. The Steelers O Line must have been doing something. because the Titans D has been knocking down QBs and RB's, but last night no Titans sacks and Steelers could run the ball, so Steelers were blocking a tough Titans defense. Plus Steelers have that kicker who never misses, and strangely is in free agency in Bengals Fantasy League to be grabbed, and teams with injured kickers. I mention the kicker because he has been a Bengals killer in games over the years, the dude never misses. He's been with Steelers for many years now, but still one of better kickers in the game because, that's right, the dude never misses.
