Steelers must clamp Seattle’s two-headed backfield, dial up pressure on Sam Darnold, and win third downs to keep drives off the field. After a rough showing vs Jets, Pittsburgh leans on T. J. Watt to spark the pass rush, while stout run defense and timely stops shape fantasy upside—Watt’s sack ceiling and Seahawks’ balanced attack.

From a fantasy lens, Watt becomes the primary catalyst if the Steelers can collapse the pocket. Seahawks RBs Charbonnet and Walker III are workload bets in a game-script that could tilt on efficiency in short-yardage and third-down scenarios. Monitor game flow and substitution patterns for optimal lineups.

Brock Purdy’s turf-toe injury sidelines the 49ers QB for up to five weeks, thrusting Mac Jones into Sunday’s matchup with New Orleans. Fantasy managers should scan the QB streamer list, with Daniel Jones, Trevor Lawrence, and even Aaron Rodgers cited as viable options in tougher spots.

Week 1’s injury avalanche continued with Austin Ekeler’s season-ending Achilles and George Kittle’s hamstring. Add in Xavier Worthy’s shoulder and Brock Bowers’s knee, and the waiver wire becomes a chessboard. Watch for sleepers like Harold Fannin Jr. and Emeka Egbuka to emerge for deeper leagues.

Tyreek Hill enters a noteworthy drought: 365 days since a 30-yard+ grab, with Week 1 totaling four catches for 40 yards. The Dolphins face the New England Patriots in Week 2, offering a prime chance to reintroduce big plays, while Hill and Tua Tagovailoa navigate health and rhythm to restore fantasy upside.

Hill's ceiling remains tied to explosiveness and correct play design. If the Dolphins thaw the flow and Tua stays healthy, a rebound into the high-impact weekly sweet spot is plausible. Fantasy managers should monitor target distribution and whether the offense fixes the rhythm that unlocks Hill's legendary big-play ability.

Overall, Hill’s value hinges on one or two vertical connections to flip a week; the upcoming matchup will be telling as the Dolphins push for a sharper shot at the ceiling Hill has shown in prior seasons.
