The Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves in primetime again, but hitting the road for the first time this season to Las Vegas (-2.5) to take on the Raiders. Both teams are 1-1 through two weeks, but opinions are forming fast. Las Vegas was steamrolled by Buffalo in Week 2 after winning a close game against Denver in Week 1. The Steelers had the unfortunate schedule of opening up against San Francisco and then a defensive showdown against the Cleveland Browns on Monday night. Let’s see if we can find some player props that stand out.

Finally, the Steelers get a winnable matchup on offense. Freiermuth has struggled through the first two weeks registering just two catches on the season, but one going for a touchdown. This Raiders defense is exactly what he needs to get back on track. Through two games, Las Vegas allowed 7 catches for 56 yards vs Denver and 8 catches for 53 yards vs Buffalo against tight ends. Diontae Johnson will not return until after the bye week, and this is a spot I expect the Steelers offense to show some life. Last season, Freiermuth hit this line in 12/15 (80%) games. I won’t overreact to two weeks of top 5 defenses for Pittsburgh and expect Freiermuth to get more involved Sunday night. 1.5U

This one is cut and dry for me. Warren has hit this in both games to start the year and saw a slight snap increase last week (% wise). He’s seen 6+ targets in two games which is a great sign of his role in this offense and we could see this expand as the season progresses. Samaje Perine logged 4 catches and 37 yards in Week 1 vs Las Vegas, while James Cook logged 4 catches for 36 yards in Week 2 against the Silver and Black. In addition to the 2.5 receptions at +110 for 0.5U, I’m also playing the over 47.5 rush + receiving yards -115 on Bet365 for 1U. I’m convinced that Warren sees his role expand this week and we finally get that 50/50 split between Harris and Warren.
