Stephon Tuitt – Stock: Down

Tuitt has had a very non-impactful season thus far. The big defensive lineman has not registered a sack in four games.

Tuitt has been good in run defense but his nonexistent pass rush only contributes to the Steelers inability to cover downfield. If opposing quarterbacks continue to have all day to throw, the secondary will only get worse.

He is an integral part of this defense when healthy and he seems to be. He will need to ramp up the production as soon as possible.

Chris Boswell – Stock: Up

Boswell has had a rough start to 2018. After signing a new deal, he went 1-for-4 on field goals and missed two extra points in the first three games.

Sunday night was a different story. While it was only two kicks, he sent both right down the middle and went 2-for-2.

The Steelers cannot afford to have Boswell off track along with the defense. This offense will need help at times and with a bad defense, Boswell needs to make the kicks when his number is called.
