NFL Week 4 Recap: Immediate fantasy football takeaways from Steelers-Browns
PFF • • sports
Key Points:
- The Cleveland Browns increased playing time for young players Quinshon Judkins and KC Concepcion Jr., with Judkins reaching a career-high in early-down snaps and receptions, while Denzel Boston led receiving with a 60-yard catch.
- Jerry Jeudy’s role with the Browns continues to decline as Concepcion and others take more snaps, leaving Jeudy with limited fantasy value unless injuries or trades occur.
- Steelers running back Jaylen Warren has emerged as the likely lead back, dominating snaps in recent games and outperforming competition, though the exact snap split remains uncertain.
- Pittsburgh’s wide receiver rotation has varied weekly, with Michael Pittman Jr.’s playing time decreasing in 11 personnel in favor of Germie Bernard and Roman Wilson, raising questions about Pittman’s health and role.
- Additional notes include Steelers rookie Eli Heidenreich being inactive again, Roman Wilson briefly leaving the game due to injury but returning, and statistical data considerations for snap counts and targets.
