Yahya Black, the Steelers’ fifth-round defensive lineman, lit up the preseason with an 86.8 overall PFF grade and a 78.9 pass-rushing mark, plus six tackles and two sacks in limited work. His disruptive length helped clog throwing lanes and created early negative plays, signaling a potential rookie boost on Pittsburgh’s interior line.

His breakthrough finale vs Carolina—two sacks and a forced fumble on consecutive plays—came as Harmon sat with a knee sprain. With Cameron Heyward and Keeanu Benton anchoring the middle, Black could see early rotational snaps and special-teams roles as he contends for a Week 1 debut against the Jets on Sept. 7, keeping fantasy managers watchful for late-season upside.
