Week 2's snapshot of the Steelers against Seattle highlights a stable core on the Steelers' special-teams coverage units, with several specialists handling every kick. The data suggests a dependable fantasy floor for those on the coverage units and kick-related roles, even in a loss.

Against Seattle, the snap distribution underscores how Pittsburgh allocated duties on kickoffs and punts, reinforcing the value of the unit's depth. For fantasy managers, lean on the core special-teams contributors in upcoming weeks and monitor any shifts due to health or matchup before chasing uncertain depth.

Pittsburgh’s defense has been hammered early, exposing a thin interior and a rookie’s absence as the run game bites and the pass rush stalls. Free agent Christian Wilkins, released by the Raiders after a foot injury and rehab questions, could become a low‑risk upgrade if he’s healthy and motivated.

A healthy Wilkins would force double teams, clog gaps, and widen lanes for edge rushers, potentially stabilizing a unit that fantasy managers and bettors alike have watched crumble. The Steelers will weigh health, cost, and commitment before any move.

Pittsburgh's Week 2 defensive snap counts spotlight a small core and a rotating front seven in Seattle, with three starters playing every defensive snap and several reserves stepping in to keep legs fresh. The distribution clarifies who you can trust for tackles, sacks and consistency even in a loss, and it hints at how the Steelers plan to defend diverse offenses later in the schedule.

For fantasy managers, the takeaway is clear: identify the iron-men for a reliable floor and watch how the rotation evolves against different schemes.
