Take care of business, stay consistent
Arriving us to our next point, fans need not overthink this week as do the players dressed in Black & Gold. One is an exceptional team playing above any criticism entering this season, as the other continues to bear through a horrendous saga.
Understandably, there’s the possible motion of it being a trap game. Quite familiar in Steelers history, this is not one if they stay the course. For example, if you have RB James Conner on your fantasy team, play him. The Cowboys allow a league-worst 170 rushing yards per game on 5.1 yards per carry (30th in NFL).
They are also last in average turnover margin at -1.4 and give up three sacks per game. So if you also run a fantasy league which drafts defensive players, Pittsburgh’s EDGE TJ Watt is not only a starter because it’s another week in the NFL, but he could be the defensive player of the week.
His matchup is rookie RT Terence Steele, recently defended by Cowboys front office members & McCarthy in response to local media, that is performing at a level of his own.
Terence Steele has allowed more sacks (7) than any other OL this season and the third-most pressures, per PFF. #YouAlreadyKnowTheHashtag

And he will be blocking for the fourth starter at quarterback for Dallas on the season, either QB Cooper Rush or Garrett Gilbert, who collectively have seven attempts tied to their NFL careers.
Things can only go wrong if the Steelers allow it. Play their game, remain consistent, and a victory should follow.
