As we approach this week, we’re nearing the mid-point in the season. We also have four teams on a bye who all have some fantasy-rich options. That means with byes combined with injuries, every game counts. That includes tonight, as the Titans battle the Steelers.

For the Titans, Will Levis is starting. He had four touchdown passes in his first start and looked great. Still, he’s a QB2 for me. In the backfield, the presence of Levis helped Derrick Henry, who’s still a low-end RB1. He also had great chemistry with DeAndre Hopkins, who is a WR2 for me. He’s also a big TD threat.

For the Steelers, Kenny Pickett appears on track to start. That might be good news, but it’s hard to tell. For fantasy, he’s a low-end QB2 for me. In the backfield, Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren have been splitting the work. Both are in the RB3 category for me, with some potential upside. George Pickens is a boom-or-bust WR4, while Diontae Johnson is a WR3 for me.

Now, on to the Week 9 picks.
