Ben Roethlisberger vs. Raiders secondary

A big problem Pittsburgh had in Buffalo last weekend was not being able to move the chains on offense.

Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger struggled to move the ball, which resulted in the Steelers having zero points at halftime and only six to start the fourth quarter.

Of course, Roethlisberger needs the help from his offensive line to execute, but he needs to do whatever he can to move the chains moving forward in order to compete for a Super Bowl run this season.

Najee Harris vs. Raiders defense

This week, if you have Najee Harris in fantasy football, you need to play him! Harris should show to Steeler nation, for their first home game with full capacity in almost two years, how to dominate this football game.

Harris needs to work on getting his timing down with Roethlisberger, as they struggled to get that connection going Week 1. But, Harris has the potential to become an extreme threat in the passing game as well.

Harris should give the offense the confidence it needs to execute, as he will have a great game against Las Vegas.

Leave your predictions in the comments on what kind of game you expect Harris to have this week.
