The Steelers came up with a huge win over the Ravens, and it was truly a team effort. Dwyer’s efforts only aided in the big victory on Sunday.
Fantasy Analysis: Jonathan Dwyer was officially named the lead back by head coach Mike Tomlin a couple weeks ago. Since then, he’s received the bulk of the work and has been productive. He has also solidified himself as the Steeler tailback most likely to punch it in the end zone.
In deeper leagues, Dwyer is a definite flex option. But beware, along the way the Steelers may have their struggles offensively.
