Pittsburgh Steelers fantasy football stock report: Preseason week 3

The Pittsburgh Steelers are just a few weeks away from the start of the regular season. Here is an updated look at each players fantasy football stock.

The Steelers now have two preseason games under their belt in 2019. Though exhibition games don’t tell us the whole tale, we are able to get a much clearer picture of which players are standing out above the rest.

While some Steelers seem poised for breakout years, others are getting lost in the shuffle. Here is an updated look at my fantasy football stock report for each offensive player for the Steelers:

Stock up:

James Washington, WR

This one is a no-brainer. Washington has been brilliant in his first two preseason games of 2019, and the Steelers could have a hard time trying to keep him off the field this year if trend continues. As of now, James Washington should be the 2nd Pittsburgh receiver drafted after JuJu Smith-Schuster for fantasy.

Diontae Johnson, WR

The rookie receiver saw the field for the first time against the Chiefs, and he was impressive. Johnson hauled in two deep touchdown passes (though one was called back on a poor offensive pass interference call). Diontae Johnson holds much more value in dynasty leagues, and still shouldn’t be counted on for immediate production this year in standard fantasy leagues.
