Kevin Szafraniec continues his deep dive into the AFC North by identifying the best and worst picks on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ roster in 2026 best ball drafts.
For the past seven years, we have gotten largely uninspiring play from the Steelers offense. Looking at current draft boards, it would appear that fantasy managers are failing to realize how much turnover has taken place in Pittsburgh this offseason.
No Steelers players are being taken in the first five rounds of drafts despite a new high-volume passing attack coming to town. While it is true that there is a glaring lack of young, exciting talent on the roster, that doesn’t mean there aren’t values to be had in Pittsburgh this year.
Given the minimal investments required to add pieces of the Steelers’ offense, what are the chances that the road to fantasy dominance in 2026 runs through Pittsburgh?
In this series, we will focus on best ball ADP from the FFPC slim format, which features 20-round drafts, tight-end premium scoring (1.5 points per TE reception and 1.0 PPR for all other positions), and starting lineups consisting of one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, one tight end, and two standard flex spots.
