Pittsburgh Steelers Daily Fantasy Spin
Steelers starting defensive end Derrick Harmon will sit out Sunday’s game with a knee injury. Pittsburgh will likely use backup interior defensive lineman Isaiahh Loudermilk in his place.
Pittsburgh backup outside linebacker Nick Herbig (hamstring) and third-string quarterback Skylar Thompson (hamstring) are both officially listed as questionable to play on Sunday. Fourth-round rookie linebacker Jack Sawyer will likely rotate in at the outside linebacker spot if Herbig is unable to play this weekend.
New York Jets Daily Fantasy Spin
Jets starting guard Alijah Vera-Tucker will miss Sunday’s game and the rest of the season with a torn triceps muscle. Third-year man Joe Tippmann will likely move over from center and take Vera-Tucker’s place, while Josh Myers should play center for the Jets on Sunday.
Jets reserve tackle Esa Pole will sit out Sunday’s game with an ankle injury. New York backup right tackle Chukwuma Okorafor is questionable to play this weekend as he deals with a hand injury. It’s worth noting that the Jets will be missing at least two and possibly three offensive linemen against a solid Steelers defense this weekend.

Steelers vs. Jets Betting Prediction:
Aaron Rodgers might still have something left in the tank. Last year, the 4-time NFL MVP played 17 games for the New York Jets in his age-40 season. In those games, Rodgers completed 63% of his passes for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions while averaging 6.7 yards per pass attempt. Those might not be Tom Brady numbers, but they prove that Rodgers isn’t quite done yet.
Furthermore, Aaron Rodgers met with new Jets head coach Aaron Glenn this past offseason to discuss his future with the team. In a meeting that Rodgers described as “a debacle,” the former Packers QB said he felt disrespected and took umbrage with some of the things that were brought up in the meeting. Rodgers has been known to hold grudges, and he has a chance to get his revenge against Aaron Glenn and the Jets in Week 1 here. I’m backing the future Hall of Famer with a chip on his shoulder in this one. The pick is Pittsburgh -3 points over New York at Bovada.lv.
