Baltimore Ravens v Pittsburgh Steelers

First, let me start this by saying I wish Ryan Shazier a speedy and effective recovery. That being said, this fantasy football contest is going to be a good one, and the real contest is going to be a heavy hitting one.

There may not be two more iconic defenses from the past and present facing off this season.

Joe Flacco and Ben Roethlisberger are going to do everything in their power to keep their offenses on the field, but the likelihood of at least two turnovers from each side is pretty solid.

I’m giving the edge here to the Steelers defense, because I feel like their chances of returning one of those to the house is just a bit higher than their counterpart’s.

Add in the fact this game is in Pittsburgh, and you just add to the intensity. Advantage, Steelers.

Alright, this finishes up a new way to look at our fantasy football projections. I hope you all enjoyed it.

Obviously, it’s not quite as much advice as usual, so feel free to shoot me those questions and match-up comparisons. Again, you can hit me up in the comments, Facebook, or on Twitter.

As always, thanks for reading!
