Roosevelt Nix scores against the Texans.

Nix took a fullback dive up the middle for a one-yard score, making it a Christmas to remember for him. Nix obviously isn’t a fantasy option as the Steelers’ fullback, but it’s cool to see him get in the end zone.

Martavis Bryant plays well in Steelers’ win.

Bryant made some key catches early in the game for Pittsburgh, but it wasn’t a huge performance against the Texans from a fantasy perspective. The alien-like receiver had three receptions for 60 yards (including a long of 36 yards on a go route), and he added an eight-yard carry. Bryant will be a FLEX option in Week 17 against Cleveland.

DeAndre Hopkins scores in Christmas Day loss to Pittsburgh.

Hopkins caught four passes for 65 yards, including a highlight touchdown grab from three yards away. He was the only Texan to catch more than one pass, and it will probably be close to a one-man show again in the season finale. He’s a solid WR1 against the Colts as he looks to win a receiving title.

Stevan Ridley gets a good amount of work in first game as a Steeler.

Ridley was inserted right into a backup role behind Le’Veon Bell after John Conner’s season-ending knee injury suffered in last week’s loss to New England. Mike Tomlin apparently liked what he saw from Ridley when he arrived with the team, and he’ll have an important role spelling Bell down the stretch. Ridley had nine carries for 28 yards in today’s win.

Will Fuller held to one reception in loss to Pittsburgh.

It went for 10 yards. Fuller hasn’t been a fantasy option since Deshaun Watson went down. He’ll finish his season next Sunday against the Colts.

Le’Veon Bell scores in Christmas Day win over the Texans.

The Steelers didn’t run the ball with Bell as much as usual in this one, but he still had a fine performance both through the air and on the ground. Bell had 14 rushing attempts for 69 yards and a touchdown along with five receptions (on a team-high eight targets) for 28 yards. The Steelers have something to play for in Week 17, so you can safely insert Bell into fantasy lineups as an RB1.

Lamar Miller takes a backseat to Alfred Blue in loss to Pittsburgh.

Miller rushed 10 times for 55 yards, while his backup rushed 16 times for 108 yards. The starter also caught a 10-yard pass. Houston should have them split the work in the season finale against the Colts, limiting both to low-floor FLEX appeal.
