Fantasy Player Projections
 |
Heinz Field | Sunday, November 21 | 1:00 p.m. EST (CBS) Pick: Steelers 24, Raiders 20 |
 |
| Pos. | Player | Projection |
| QB | Jason Campbell | 200 pass yards, 1 pass TD, 1 INT Campbell will remain the starter this week, and he will likely be asked to throw a lot against a Steelers defense that is first in the league in rush defense. Campbell is a good option in two-QB leagues. |
| RB | Darren McFadden | 4 rec, 35 rec yards, 45 rush yards, 1 rush TD McFadden will face a Steelers defense in Week 11 that is the best in the league against the run, but his ability to rack up yardage in the receiving game should keep him in your lineup. |
| WR | Darrius Heyward-Bey | 3 rec, 35 yards Heyward-Bey sandwiched two doughnuts around his huge game in Week 8, so he is a risky option this week. |
| WR | Louis Murphy | 3 rec, 75 yards Murphy is expected to return to practice this week, so he will likely start barring any setbacks. Murphy will be an option in deeper leagues against a Steelers team that is 26th in the league against the pass. |
| TE | Zach Miller | 4 rec, 45 yards, 1 TD Miller should return to the field this week, and he has a nice matchup against a Steelers defense that has been hurt by opposing tight ends. Miller is a good option if he plays. |
| K | Sebastian Janikowski | 2 PATs, 2 FGs Janikowski is still leading the league in scoring, so even though this week's game could be low scoring, he still deserves a start. |
| Defense | 3 sacks, 2 INT Oakland's defense has played very well in recent weeks, and they will face a Steelers team in Week 11 that is missing multiple offensive line starters. They could provide sneaky value this week. | |
| Pos. | Player | Projection |
| QB | Ben Roethlisberger | 175 pass yards, 1 pass TD, 10 rush yards, 2 INT Roethlisberger has been a bit inconsistent in recent weeks, and he will face a stiff test in Week 11 against a Raiders defense that is second in the league against the pass. Do not expect a big performance this week. |
| RB | Rashard Mendenhall | 2 rec, 10 rec yards, 85 rush yards, 2 rush TD The Raiders have a very good pass defense, so look for Mendenhall to get plenty of action in Week 11. |
| WR | Mike Wallace | 3 rec, 80 yards Wallace has found the end zone five times in his last five games, so he deserves a start this week even against a strong Raiders pass defense. |
| WR | Hines Ward | 4 rec, 50 yards Ward suffered a concussion last week, but he does not believe it is serious enough to keep him out this week. Still, Ward will have trouble finding the end zone this week, so do not expect much production. |
| TE | Heath Miller | 3 rec, 30 yards, 1 TD Miller has not taken off as some expected following the return of Ben Roethlisberger, so do not expect much more than he has been producing against a Raiders team that is very good at limiting the pass. |
| K | Shaun Suisham | 3 PATs, 1 FG The Steelers cut veteran Jeff Reed in favor of ex-Redskins kicker Shaun Suisham. Suisham made 18-of-21 field goals for the Redskins in 2009, but has his work cut out for him with the wind at Heinz Field. |
| Defense | 4 sacks, 1 INT, 1 Fumble Pittsburgh's defense was not dominant against New England last week, but its track record makes it worth a start in Week 11. | |
