Pittsburgh aims to balance the attack with a steadier ground game, hoping for more than 53 yards at roughly 2.7 per carry to ease Rodgers’s path and open the passing game. A clean pocket and measured run volume keep Seattle honest and fragment the Seahawks’ defensive plan.

Protection for Broderick Jones and a disciplined ground mix are critical, as Seattle’s front seeks to tilt a potential low-scoring affair. Seattle will try to force Darnold into making plays, while JSN remains the focal point of Seattle’s aerial attack, possibly shadowed by Ramsey to stifle the primary target.

Look for JSN’s role to define Seattle’s air output, with Rams-like tempo and the Steelers exploiting any misreads. Fantasy managers should monitor Jones’s protection, the Steelers’ run cadence, and how Jackson Smith-Njigba is mapped by the defense to gauge upside for Pitt players.
