The Cleveland Browns have been a breeze for the Pittsburgh Steelers for years, and this season, nothing is going to change.

Like usual, Pittsburgh heads to the Cleveland with high hopes. The Super Bowl hopefuls have all the talent in the world and start their season against a team who’s years from being a playoff contender again.

Maybe the starters won’t play the entire four quarters of this game, but that doesn’t mean players aren’t going to have a big fantasy week. The Steelers need to run the score up somehow, and until it’s at an unreachable distance, expect the stars to put on a show in Week 1.

Even in games this lopsided, players you’d expect to have major fantasy outbreaks will. Don’t be worried about Antonio Brown or Le’Veon Bell being cut short of playing time. They might not play the entire game, but they’ll contribute enough to lead your team to a Week 1 victory.

So, while you contemplate your lineup 100 times this weekend, think about starting these stars, no matter who they’re playing.
