3. Ryan Shazier, Pittsburgh Steelers
One of the more underrated players in the league is Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier, but the second-year stud is under the weather for Week 3. Shazier injured his shoulder and isn’t available for Pittsburgh’s clash with the St. Louis Rams, who have a formidable offense to challenge a depleted and underwhelming Steelers defense.
Fortunately for Pittsburgh, star running back Le’Veon Bell returns from his two-game suspension. Additionally, Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown are dominating opposing secondaries on a weekly basis. If the Steelers can hold off St. Louis’s pass rush, Shazier’s absence will be noticeable yet not damaging.
