Ryan Mundy will start in Polamalu's place again, with Chris Carter and Jason Worilds splitting snaps in Harrison's spot.

Fantasy Impact: The Steelers didn’t need much help shutting down the Jets last week, and will be facing another weak offense in Oakland, so D/ST owners need not panic. Harrison’s status is more worrisome, having yet to make his season debut after a slow rehab from knee surgery, but expect Polamalu to be back fresh after the bye week.
