Calvin Austin III named his Top-5 Steelers of all time: Troy Polamalu, Joe Greene, Ben Roethlisberger, Franco Harris, Mel Blount. The list leans historic defense and Pittsburgh legends over current stars, signaling how legacy shapes fantasy value and player evaluation. Austin is day-to-day with a shoulder injury, hoping to return after the bye for Week Six against Cleveland, a moment that could test the offense’s depth behind the legends.

Pittsburgh sits 3-1 entering a bye after a London win over Minnesota, with Week 6 looming against Cleveland. Ben Roethlisberger’s Footbahlin’ take adds a playful angle to the Browns matchup.

Cleveland is 1-3 as Dillon Gabriel prepares for his first NFL start after Joe Flacco’s uneven showing, and a prior Green Bay upset proves they can spike when least expected. Rodgers’ offense remains productive but yardage-limited, a crossfire for Week 6 fantasy planning. The Browns’ defense and a fresh QB could shake up the divisional outlook and Week 6 rosters.

Ben Roethlisberger labeled Pittsburgh's defense vanilla on Footbahlin, questioning why the unit hasn't deployed more unique pressures ahead of Week 4 in Ireland against Minnesota. He echoed Mike Tomlin's remarks about factors limiting pressure and floated ideas like corner blitzes from Jalen Ramsey and unconventional linebacker looks.

The exchange frames a potential scheme turn for Teryl Austin's unit, with fantasy implications across sacks, interceptions, and tackle opportunities. If Pittsburgh diversifies its packages, expect upticks for pass rushers and opportunistic defenders; misreads could invite big plays from a Vikings attack that thrives on perimeter threats.

As the Ireland showdown nears, fantasy managers will watch for signs of a more aggressive defense. A bold shift could tilt DFS upside for Steelers defenders and potentially depress Minnesota's scoring, depending on execution and game flow.

Nick Herbig's breakout is reshaping Pittsburgh's defense, especially in pass rush. Week 3 vs New England featured eight pressures, four quick, tying for the league lead with Parsons and Yaya Diaby, and a blazing get-off. With Alex Highsmith sidelined, Herbig's snaps should rise as he proves he can be Watt's long-term successor. Fantasy managers should watch his snap totals and opponent; he could be a high-upside DFS punt with sack upside.
