Best quarterback picks
Cash Games: Joe Burrow, QB, Cincinnati Bengals (DraftKings $6.8K, FanDuel $8.3K)
Joe Burrow is the chalk play in this game. Burrow and the Bengals' receivers should have little resistance from a horrendous Steelers secondary. Joe Burrow to Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd is one of the safer stacks for the DFS slate.
Tournaments: Kenny Pickett, QB, Pittsburgh Steelers (Draftkings $5.3K, FanDuel $6.9K)
Kenny Pickett is the dart throw in this game. We know the Bengals will score and the likely culprits on that side of the ball. For the Steelers, if they are chasing points, who is to say that Kenny Pickett can't have a ceiling performance?
Best running back picks
Cash Games: Joe Mixon, RB, Cincinnati Bengals (DraftKings $7.4K, FanDuel $9K)
Joe Mixon just had one of the best performances you will ever see from the RB position. Mixon will be one of the most chalk plays on the slate.
Tournaments: Najee Harris, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers (DraftKings $6.5K, FanDuel $8K)
Many DFS players are down on Najee Harris. The Steelers' offensive line has had its issues all season long, while Harris has been slowed by various injuries. If Najee Harris can break out of his recent funk, you will be able to gain leverage against the field.

Wide receivers and tight ends
Cash game: Tee Higgins, WR, Cincinnati Bengals (DraftKings $7.1K, FanDuel $7.6K)
With WR Ja'Marr Chase still out of action, Tee Higgins should be the favorite target of QB Joe Burrow. The last time these two teams faced, Joe Burrow sliced and diced the Steelers' secondary. Expect the Bengals coaching staff to lean on their passing game, with Tee Higgins the catalyst.
Tournament: George Pickens, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers (DraftKings $5.2K, FanDuel $6K)
QB Kenny Pickett and WR George Pickens have a connection. When Mitch Trubisy was under center for the Steelers, he would check it down to the underneath options in the passing game.
Pickett is more of the down-the-field thrower, which is exciting for the prospects of George Pickens. Pickens is a dynamic, big-bodied receiver that makes plays down the field. In a game where the Pittsburgh Steelers are likely chasing, George Pickens should receive a ton of targets.
