Week 7 Fantasy Preview: Steelers @ Rams

Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2) at Los Angeles Rams (3-3)

ML Steelers  (+136) @ Rams (-162): O/U 43.5
Steelers +3 (-108), Rams -3 (-112)

Writer’s Record:
Bet: 4-6
Lean: 10-4

The Steelers travel out west to face the Rams in week 7. Coming off their bye week, the Steelers will get some key starters back from injuries to help ignite an offense that is averaging under 16 points a game. The Ram’s offense came alive in the second half against the Arizona Cardinals to pick up a win last week. Without their top-two running backs, the Rams will lean on the passing game of Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp, and Puka Nacua.

Main Storylines to Watch

Who is left to run the ball for the Rams? Kyren Williams and Ronnie Rivers will both miss multiple games for the Rams due to injuries suffered in week 6. Tuesday the team signed Royce Freeman and Myles Gaskin to the active roster and Darrell Henderson to their practice squad. Zach Evans is the lone holdover from last week.

Is Jaylen Warren the better RB start in Pittsburgh?: Warren is in the top 10 of RBs with 80% or more of their team’s goal line work. And he is second in target per route run rate for RBs this year.
