Bold NFL Week 1 Fantasy Football Stat Prediction #2:

Kenny Pickett throws for 300 yards against the 49ers

A home opener against the best defense in the NFL is a challenge for Tomlin’s young quarterback. San Francisco’s defense had success last year but will enter the new campaign without DeMeco Ryans on the sideline. Matt Canada’s back must trust his quarterback’s progression in their upcoming matchup. If the Steelers become one-dimensional, the 49ers could take a devastating lead. Kenny Pickett will step up to the challenge and will accomplish another milestone in the process.

Bold NFL Week 1 Fantasy Football Stat Prediction #1:

A Monday Night showdown between two AFC East rivals will end a busy Week 1. Robert Saleh and Sean McDermott will lead their teams into Week 1’s biggest stage. Fans in MetLife Stadium will witness Aaron Rodger’s first start as a New York Jet. His debut is anticipated, especially after an off-season with speculation and entertainment.
