• Free safety Jimmie Ward (hamstring) returned in Week 12.
• ILB Denzel Perryman’s suspension was over and he and Christain Harriss both played around 60% of the snaps.
• ILB Blake Cashman held onto his 100% and slipped a little in IDP production. And if there is one to trust in Week 14, it’s got to be Blake Cashman.

Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #21

• ILB Drue Tranquill (concussion) went down early in Week 13.
• Undrafted ILB Jack Cochrane replaced Tranquill and saw nearly 89% of the snaps.
• ILB Leo Chenal played his normal snaps (30s).
• Starter Willie Gay jumped some to about 90%.
• It’s possible Chenal still steps in this week, so we suggest only trusting Gay (LB2) if Tranquill is out in Week 14. That would be the safer and deeper play until we know more.
• If safety Bryan Cook (ankle) is out, Mike Edwards* is very capable and has proven it.

Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #14

• Safety Marcus Epps (neck), is questionable for Week 14.
• Strong Safety Isaiah Pola-Mao* can be a deep option after playing well in Week 12 in place of Epps.

• Michael Hoecht (knee) played hurt in Week 13. So we trust Byron Young a little more this week to hit his ceiling.
• If the Ravens control the ball, every IDP gets a boost by volume. So there will likely be a few overachieves.

• ILB Jerome Baker is considered to be week-to-week due to an MCL injury.
• Starter David Long gets an instant boost any week(s) Baker is out.
• Depth ILB Duke Riley (risky) may come into play in Week 14.
• Safety Jevon Holland (knee) is questionable again.
• Brandon Jones “should” still be a decent deep pickup if Holland is out.

• Safety Marcus Maye(shoulder) was out in Week 13.
• Safety Jordan Howden filled in decently for Maye.
• DE Cameron Jordan is playing nicked up.

Pittsburgh Steelers

Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #20

• ILB Elandon Roberts (groin) was a limited participant during Tuesday’s walkthrough practice and is listed as questionable for Week 14.
• If Roberts is out, deep backup Mark Robinson* should be a decent deep dart throw.
• Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick returned and played 100% of the snaps after missing nearly all of the last five games.

Seattle Seahawks

Team-D Opponent Production Rank: #30

• ILB Jordyn Brooks (hand), is questionable for Week 14.
• ILB Devin Bush should be the risky next man up if Brooks is out.
• Safety Julian Love fell to 20% of the snaps in Week 13, likely due to game planning or flow, but notable. However, the first time these two teams played in Week 12, Love played 91%. If that helps.

Tamps Bay Buccaneers

• The Safety situation we suggest to avoid last week was notable. And they flipped again with who got snaps next to Winfield, which leaves us not trusting the scenario for Week 13.
• ILB Lavonte David (groin), is questionable for Week 14.
• If David is out again, it’ll likely be ILB SirVocea Dennis (illness), which is also questionable.
• ILB Devin White (foot), is questionable again, see SirVocea first if either he or David is out.
• If all three ILBs mentioned are out. J.J. Russell was the last man up and did fairly well in Week 13.
• In another flip at safety, Ryan Neal saw a jump of the snaps in Week 13. And including Antoine Winfield, who is the only one to trust, all four safeties played at least 50% or more of the snaps in Week 13. Which was likely due to the linebacker situation. This also would mean that a healthy main starter at ILB could change everything again.
• Rookie OLD/DE YaYa Diaby has passed Joe Tyron on the depth chart at this time.
• This matchup is nearly a top-10 team defensive (12) play overall. And that might explain the strengths this time around in the five-step formula. At least considering the safety and linebacker scenarios in the past three games.
