Player: CB Asante Samuel Jr.
Stock Value: Up
Reasoning: Not only did Asante Samuel Jr. dress for the Steelers on Sunday, he played a significant amount, albeit due to injury. Now that he has gotten his feet wet, however, it could be the beginning of a starting tenure. With Darius Slay on the bench and James Pierre in the concussion protocol, it may even be necessary.
The Steelers won the Asante Samuel Jr. sweepstakes, but we’re still learning the value of the prize. After a couple weeks of acclimation on the practice squad, the veteran starter made his Steelers debut on Sunday.
