We’ve compiled our Steelers vs. Ravens Underdog Fantasy Picks ahead of Saturday night’s Wild Card matchup at M&T Bank Stadium. Check out the three selections we’ll be adding at Underdog.
Steelers vs. Ravens Underdog Fantasy Picks: Pat Freiermuth 37.5 Receiving Yards (Higher)
This is one of my favorite plays at Underdog. Freiermuth racked up 85 yards receiving in Week 18 against the Bengals and another 60 versus the Chiefs in Week 17. He’s been higher than 37.5 receiving yards in five out of his last six contests and figures to have a big role again tonight. That is, of course, assuming George Pickens doesn’t snap out the funk that he’s been in since returning from injury.
Chances are the Steelers won’t be able to run the ball against Baltimore’s front. Assuming the Ravens also jump out to a lead, Pittsburgh will need to put the ball in the air in the second half. When that happens, there will be plenty of opportunities for Freiermuth to gain yards.
Steelers vs. Ravens Underdog Fantasy Picks: Lamar Jackson 28.5 Pass Attempts (Lower)
I don’t see a scenario in which Lamar needs to put the ball in the air close to 30 times tonight. Baltimore’s offensive game plan will likely center on Derrick Henry and the rushing game. Lamar also tends to run more in the postseason, which would obviously limit his pass attempts as well.
From a recent history standpoint, Jackson did attempt 32 passes last weekend against the Browns. The game was closer in the first half than many expected, but that was the only time Lamar has gone higher than 28.5 passing attempts over his last four games. In fact, he’s averaged 27.6 passing attempts over his last 10 games. Keep in mind the Ravens will also be without Zay Flowers.
Steelers vs. Ravens Underdog Fantasy Picks: Jaylen Warren 56.5 Rush + Rec Yards (Higher)
Given how ineffective Najee Harris has been at times in Pittsburgh’s offense, Warren is an underutilized asset for the Steelers. Nonetheless, he has gone higher than 56.5 rushing plus receiving yards in two of his last three games. He failed to go higher than that number a week ago versus the Bengals (21 total yards), but Warren did eclipse 56.5 against the Chiefs in Week 17 (112 yards) and at Baltimore in Week 16 (92 yards).
Warren also went higher than 56.5 rushing and receiving yards the first time these two teams met in Pittsburgh back on November 17. In that game, he finished with 68 total yards and has an average of 66.2 total yards per game over his last 10 contests.
