No. 9 OJ Howard vs. Pittsburgh

Long live the tight ends here. Boyle struggled last week, hand up. You know who didn’t? OJ Howard. The second coming (third coming? I can’t remember) of Fitzmagic has been great for Howard.

Howard has a great matchup against the Steelers this week. Two weeks in a row we’re talking identity with this Steelers bunch. The defense just looks lost out there at times and lapses in coverage made for a dominant Travis Kelce performance on Sunday.

Howard’s production this year has been all about the YAC with just three catches Sunday. He did however get 96 yards on those three and a touchdown. It’s all about how valuable you are in the pass game. With Mike Evans and Desean Jackson in the groove, Howard making the most of the catches so far could lead to him getting a lot more on Monday night.
