Fantasy football picks: Week 4 MNF Steelers vs. Bengals

Nick Vannett – With Vance McDonald downgraded to doubtful this will boost Vannett into a starting role. The Steelers recently traded for him in preparation for this injury. Cincinnati is actually pretty decent against the tight end position, giving up the 20th least fantasy points against them. I would expect Nick to see at least 60% of the snaps, and be a decent security blanket for Mason Rudolph, at the minimum price on FanDuel.

Tyler Eifert – It has been a struggle for the once-promising tight end to stay healthy during his career. Each year he would get hurt, and a good season would be ruined. Surprisingly enough, Eifert is actually healthy.

He has given up over half of the snaps to Uzomah, but he still got five targets in the first two weeks. Tyler has taken over the passing down role and gets this Pittsburgh secondary that has shown plenty of holes early on. If he can keep up a decent share of targets, and grab his first touchdown of the season, Eifert could easily exceed value.

Randy Bullock – I usually like to mention a kicker, Bullock would be my preferred option. There will be plenty of scoring opportunities, and while Bullock has missed two field goals this season, he will still see plenty of free extra points, and field goal attempts. You can obviously play Boswell as well, but I will never pay 10k for a kicker, especially when James Conner is only 2k more.
