Monday Night Football for Week 12 of the NFL season gives us an AFC battle between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Indianapolis Colts.
I have two players — one from each side — to target in this game. These players aren’t the flashiest of names and are more bargain-bin guys who could surprise.
WR Ashton Dulin, Colts
Dulin is a true dart throw, as he’s only running 7-8 routes per game.
Still, he could make the most of his opportunities against the Steelers, who play man coverage at the third-highest rate in the league. Per PFF, Dulin leads Colts pass-catchers with 3.21 yards per route run against man.
WR Gunner Olszewski, Steelers
Olszewski has split time with Steven Sims as the No. 3 wide receiver since Chase Claypool was traded, but it’s the former who matches up best with the Colts.
Indianapolis plays the eighth-most zone coverage, and Olszewski is third on the team with 1.40 yards per route against zone while Sims is last at -0.03, according to PFF.
