Since Mason Rudolph has taken over as the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, they have had their two highest-scoring games of the season, and just last week, they generated 468 yards of offense. Should we expect a repeat performance from this offense against a Baltimore Ravens team that is resting their starters, and if so, which player prop bets should you be targeting? Let’s dive into our top Steelers vs. Ravens player prop bets.
Top Steelers vs. Ravens Player Prop Bets
Najee Harris Under 60.5 Rushing Yards (-114 at FanDuel)
Blewis:Â This is a sell high of Najee Harris, who has run for an average of 100 yards over his last two games. But in those two games, the Steelers mostly operated with a positive game script, and even against the Ravens’ backups, I’m expecting this to be a competitive game.
Prior to this two-game stretch in which Harris has run for 200 combined yards, he has been held under 61 rushing yards in eight of 14 games.
George Pickens Over 49.5 Receiving Yards (-110 at ESPN BET)
Blewis: This might seem like a chalky pick, but I’m going to ride the hot hand in this one. In George Pickens’ last two games, he caught 11 passes for a combined 326 receiving yards — more than the previous eight weeks combined.
I’m not expecting anywhere near the same production from Pickens for the third game in a row, but perhaps he has much better chemistry with Mason Rudolph than both Kenny Pickett and Mitchell Trubisky. Plus, we’re only asking him to record at least 50 receiving yards — not 100+ again.
Rolfe: I completely agree with Brian here that we keep riding the Pickens train. Pickens and Rudolph seem to have that trust, and the QB is being more aggressive than Mitch Trubisky was. Additionally, the Ravens’ defense has been allowing an average of just over 175 yards per game to opposing WRs in the last four weeks.

That number is the eighth-highest in that period and came with the Ravens playing their first-choice options all over the field. The run game for Pittsburgh is threatening enough that the Ravens cannot just sit back and stop Rudolph from going deep. Complementary football for the Ravens is going to allow Pickens to have another good game.
Tyler Huntley Under 165.5 Passing Yards (-114 at FanDuel)
Katz: When FanDuel opened their lines for Tyler Huntley’s passing yards line at 171.5, it was 10 yards higher than every other book. I couldn’t help but jump on that. While it obviously corrected, I still like it at its current number.
In four starts last season, Huntley’s highest passing yardage total was 138. He’s made three career starts against the Pittsburgh Steelers. In those games, he’s thrown for 141, 88, and 130 yards.
The Baltimore Ravens are playing a glorified exhibition game. Huntley will be throwing to Nelson Agholor and Charlie Kolar instead of Zay Flowers, Odell Beckham Jr., and Isaiah Likely. Plus, the Steelers are more vulnerable on the ground than through the air. Expect a run-heavy game plan, with not much needed from Huntley.
