Hello, everybody. Welcome into the Fantasy Pros Football Podcast. I'm Ryan Wormley, joined by Andrew Erickson and by Jake Sealy from The Athletic. And we are talking fantasy takeaways from the AFC North. We're doing all the AFC divisions this week. So if you've missed some of the other ones, I'm not entirely sure the order they're coming out. So maybe this is the first one or maybe you've missed some of the others.

Whatever it is, be sure to check them out all week long. The AFC will be doing the NFC next week here. We're taping these on Tuesday, which I just want to give us a caveat in case anything changes between now and the time you are listening in this in terms of coaching changes or whatever it is. But we are talking about the AFC North here today. So let's dive right in, guys. We're going to start with the Steelers who did win the division. It's still a little raw. We don't need to talk about it. But they did win this division somehow, some way. So we'll start with our takeaways there. Erickson kicking it off with you.

What is your fantasy takeaway for the Pittsburgh Steelers?

Caleb Johnson, it's not dead yet.

Obviously, a very disappointing rookie year, someone that I was really high on entering the season.

And, you know, he basically didn't even play that much as a rookie.

Now, I do think that there is a lot of study, at least that I've done,

where buying on the second year running backs is a really good investment strategy.

Look at players like a Tank Bigsby.

Disasterous rookie season.

Terrible.

If anything, it's very similar to Caleb Johnson's, where his one highlight was that botched kickoff attempt that end up giving the other team a touchdown.

And then he was benched and it was a whole mess.

But I would say in defense of Caleb Johnson that he, the guys that were playing ahead

of him played extremely well this season.

Jalen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell both bawled out significantly in our big reason why

the Steelers are in the playoffs.

The other note to make, Kenneth Gainwell, is going to be a free agent after this year.

So he's not having a lock to be on the Steelers roster considering how well he played.

He's going to garner a lot of interest from other teams, especially based on his dual threat ability as a pass catcher
