Thoughts:
--> 1) Chad Johnson has been deactivated for this game for supposedly sleeping through a team meeting. Remove him from your lineup immediately...not that he should be there anyways.
2) Start Willie Parker. Not only are the Bengals barely average while allowing 4.2 YPC, but I expect the Steelers to take an early lead and blast the Bengals all game with the rushing attack.
3) Start Santonio Holmes. More of a stupid hunch than anything else. I think the Steelers will unleash at least one big play-action play to Holmes tonight, and I expect a pretty solid fantasy line from him.
4) Bench all Bengals, except maybe Housh. They will be missing both of their starting offensive tackles, and the Steelers are #1 in the NFL against both the pass and the run. Fitzpatrick is going to be running for his life, Benson will have nowhere to run, and while TJ might seem like a decent play, I'd only use him as a WR3 at the very most. Someone will have to catch the ball with Chad Johnson out, but it's going to make it easier for the Steelers D to key in on him.
5) Start the Steelers D. I fear for Fitzpatrick's well being this evening.
6) Bet the Steelers. The line is at 11, but this is shaping up to be one ugly game that heavily favors the Steelers. A 31-3 type score would not surprise me at all.
