Metcalf has fewer than 60 yards in eight of nine games, but he still has 808 receiving yards, more than double anyone else on the Steelers. He also leads the team with 55 receptions and 90 targets. 

The Lions have allowed a receiver to record at least 94 yards in four consecutive games, and their depleted secondary hasn’t gotten any healthier.

Jameson Williams longest reception Over 27.5 yards (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Williams has at least one reception of at least 29 yards in six of his last seven games. He’s tied for the third-most 20-yard receptions (19) in the league.

The Steelers are allowing 242.4 passing yards per game (6th-most), and they’re giving up 10.9 yards per reception. They have allowed 41 completions of at least 20 yards and four of at least 40 yards this season.

Amon-Ra St. Brown to score a touchdown (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

St. Brown has the second-most receiving touchdowns in the league with 11. He has scored in seven games, and he just caught 13 of 18 targets last week against the Rams.

The Steelers have allowed 23 passing touchdowns this season. St. Brown has been targeted at least eight times in nine of his last 10 games. He’s also 10th in the league in yards after catch (463), so he’s a threat anywhere on the field.
