As a Green owner I am hoping for a huge day. Thinking No. 1 overall in both PPR and non-PPR leagues this week?

I'm playing the Green owner in my league. He has the least points scored against him and is the luckiest person I've ever met. I'm not surprised to see this news given that. He also owns Freeman, Cruz and Rice, so expect bounce back games from them as well!

But seriously, that is really good news for Green owners.

The run defense for Pittsburgh isnt that bad and I expect the Bengals to exploit the Steelers secondary. Weather forecast shows party cloudy with a 20% chance of rain.

Also a Green owner but I just dont think he gets the TD's to warrant those expectations.

He's at least getting a TD. I will agree though he hasn't had many multiple TD games so far (i think one or two maybe?) in his career. It be nice if that trend ended this Sunday.

Much of it will come down to how the Bengals OLhandles the Steelers pass rush. They really struggled against the Eagles. If they can give Dalton time, he should have a big day. However, the Bengals haven't held up well against the Steelers zone blitz packages the last few meetings.

In short, AJ is obviously a strong start, but I wouldn't bank on him having a huge week because there is a decent chance that Dalton is running for his life.

Calvin vs Julio on Saturday night will have something to say about who is #1 this week.

(I hope)

While this is good news for Green owners (and bad news for Steelers), if Keenan Lewis plays, I would scale back expectations a tad. Keenan is physical like Ike and I don't think AJ will go nuts on him. I'll project 6-80 with a TD. Still very strong.
