Steelers vs Browns: Predicting the starting offense in Week 2

Buy Steelers Tickets

The injury bug bit the Pittsburgh Steelers hard in Week One. Multiple players went down on both sides of the football, which doesn’t bode well for the team as they prepare to take on the 1-0 Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football. Here is our prediction for how the Steelers offense is going to look on Monday night.

QB - Kenny Pickett

It’s bounce-back week for Pickett after a horrible Week One.

RB - Najee Harris

Harris gets the start but we expect a much more even split in touches with him and Jaylen Warren.

Wide receiver - George Pickens

Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports

With Diontae Johnson out, this is Pickens week to shine.

WR - Allen Robinson II

Allen Robinson gets the call to replace Johnson on the outside.

WR - Calvin Austin III

The speedy Austin works in at the No. 3 spot and alternates inside and outside with Robinson.

Freiermuth has been limited all week with a chest injury so we don’t think he gets a ton of snaps which means more reps for Darnell Washington and Connor Heyward.

Moore holds onto his starting spot for another week and faces another huge challenge.

LG - Isaac Seumalo

Seumalo, like the rest of the offensive line struggled last week.

C - Mason Cole

Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports

Cole was the best offensive lineman last week against the Niners.

RG - James Daniels

Daniels has been limited this week in practice but we expect him to play.

The rookie Jones gets his first NFL start in place of Chuks Okorafor.
