Pittsburgh Steelers Daily Fantasy Spin
Steelers guard Isaac Seumalo (pectoral), running back Jaylen Warren (knee), cornerback Cory Trice Jr. (hamstring), tight end MyCole Pruitt (knee), linebacker Alex Highsmith (groin), and offensive tackle Troy Fautanu (knee) will all sit out Sunday’s road date with the Colts. Seumalo and Highsmith are listed as starters at their respective positions while Warren is the club’s #2 running back.
Pittsburgh backup quarterback Russell Wilson is questionable for Sunday’s contest with a calf injury. If he’s unable to go, the Steelers will likely use 3rd-string QB Kyle Allen to back up starting QB Justin Fields.
Indianapolis Colts Daily Fantasy Spin
Colts defensive end Kwity Paye (quadriceps) and cornerback Kenny Moore II (hip) have both been ruled out for Sunday’s game. Paye is the team’s starting left defensive end and Moore is the team’s starting nickel back.
Indianapolis tackle Braden Smith (knee), defensive end Tyquan Lewis (calf/wrist), center Ryan Kelly (neck), and cornerback Chris Lammons (knee) are all officially listed as questionable to play on Sunday. Kelly is the team’s starting center and Smith is the team’s starting right tackle. On defense, Lewis is listed as the team’s starting right defensive end and Lammons is the team’s backup nickel back.

Steelers vs. Colts Betting Prediction:
Through 3 games, the Steelers have one of the best defenses in the NFL. Pittsburgh is tied for 4th in opponent yards per play, 2nd in opponent points per play, 7th in sack percentage, tied for 6th in takeaways per game, and 3rd in opponent first downs per play. That unit should make things very difficult for the Indianapolis offense.
Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is very talented, but he’s pretty raw as a passer. In 3 games of action this season, Richardson has a touchdown-pass-to-interception ratio of 3-6 a passer rating of 55.9, and a QBR of 50.2. Good quarterbacks have had trouble scoring against the Steelers’ defense this season. I think Anthony Richardson will have a long day at the office on Sunday. I’m taking the Steelers to win their 4th straight game and remain undefeated this weekend.
