Browns WR Jerry Jeudy 54.5 Receiving Yards — More

Since Week 8, the week following teammate WR Amari Cooper's departure, WR Jerry Jeudy has cashed this projection eight out of nine games. Since Week 8, Jeudy has posted 900 receiving yards, good for an average of 90 a game. That’s quietly the second-most per game in the entire league over the back half of the season, behind only Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase. 

Jeudy's one miss this season was when QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson got the starting nod for the first time this season. His preferred target was TE David Njoku, who amassed 66 receiving yards on 8 receptions. Then, when Njoku was out last week, and Jeudy was once again unleashed. He earned an eye popping 18 targets for 12 receptions and 94 yards — and Njoku will be out again this week.

Now, lined up against the Ravens that allow more pass yards a game than 29 other teams in the NFL (248.5/gm) — and a defense he’s seen before and had 79 receiving yards against, I don’t see any way Jeudy slows down his stellar back half of the season today.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow 285.5 Pass Yards — More

Bengals QB Joe Burrow has been dealing this season and has managed to pull the Bengals to a position where the playoffs aren’t totally out of reach. In what’s a must-win for their playoff hopes, I see Burrow slinging it just as he has done lately — going for more than 300 in five of his last seven games.

While the Steeler’s defense is respectable, it’s primarily their run defense that stands out — as they allow the 10th most passing yards per game at 226.9. Burrow threw for 309 on them just five weeks ago.

It’s no secret the Bengals defense is atrocious, but the O-line pass blocking isn’t much better, coming in at 29th in the league per PFF.  All season long it’s been the Joey B show, and I can’t see a world where that stops when the Bengals have to win this one to still have hopes for a playoff bid.

Steelers K Chris Boswell 7.5 Kicking Points — More

Don’t let his last two outings fool you; Steelers K Chris Boswell is one of the most consistent, high-volume kickers in the league. Despite two misses of this projection in a row, Boswell still leads the entire NFL in kicking points with 153. Boswell also leads with 40 made FGs, with the next highest coming from Brandon Aubrey with 36 makes, on just as many attempts (43). 

Across his 2024 campaign, Boswell has tied or cleared 7 kicking points in 11 of 16 games, clearing it in eight of 16 games. His 153 points put him at 9.56 kicking points a game on average — well above what his projection is set at. 

Five weeks ago against the Bengals, Boswell finished with 14 — double this projection. Across the entire season, the Bengals have a middle of the pack, giving up 6.7 kicking points a game. While it’s unlikely any kicker can catch the points he’s put up this season, I see him staying hot, the Steelers running through him, and Boswell clearing this projection on Saturday Night Football.

TD Scorer Prediction: Bengals WR Tee Higgins

‍

Based off FantasyPros metrics, fellow Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase is the best WR in the red zone. Tee Higgins however is not far off at all, ranked at sixth. The next best WR duo in the red zone is Vikings WRs Jordan Addison and Justin Jefferson, at fifth and ninth respectively.

Now, against the Steelers — who he scored a TD against in December — we can take him as one of the best picks for Saturday Night Football. In games Higgins has played, he’s had a TD in 7 of 11, while averaging .91 TDs a game.

Despite having just 11 games played on the year, Higgins has drawn 23 red-zone targets, good for third. The kicker? If you look at red-zone targets per game played, on average Higgins gets 2.09 red-zone looks a game. That’s good for first, with counterpart Chase coming in second and Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown at third. 

The Steelers have looked extra vulnerable through the air of late, with them surrendering an average of 2.7 Pass TDs a game across their last three. Couple that with a guy in Higgins who is tied for first with the most WR TDs since Week 11, and tied for first with the most red-zone TDs since Week 11 — the Higgins breakout will continue in a must-win for the Bengals.
