The Steelers’ two-game dress rehearsal has left three key units up for grabs as Week 3 looms. Cornerback behind the marquee trio remains unsettled, with Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr., and Darius Slay occupying the top spots and a cast of young backs vying for meaningful snaps. At wide receiver, Calvin Austin III’s injury opens a wide-open competition beyond DK Metcalf, with several youngsters flashing in the preseason and veteran Robert Woods trying to find a place among them. Up front, the offensive line is a study in youth—the pair of starting tackles, Fautanu and Jones, each logged only 10 snaps, leaving big questions about the group’s readiness. With one more preseason game left, the depth charts for these three positions could swing in multiple directions.

Fantasy managers should monitor practice reports and third-party notes closely: the cornerback depth chart could shift quickly if a reserve steps up, the WR rotation could tilt toward veteran savvy or breakout youngsters, and the O-line’s continued cohesion will be the swing factor for any run game or quick-pass offense. The narrative is clear—unsettled but ripe for opportunities, especially for those who can seize snaps in the final tune-up.
