Player: CB Darius Slay
Stock Value: Down
Reasoning: Although it helped him avoid an awful day, Darius Slay was a healthy scratch for Sunday’s loss to the Bills. That would probably be a bigger story if the game didn’t go so poorly, but here we are. And now James Pierre is in the concussion protocol, so we have to see how that plays out. But the bottom line is this: Darius Slay isn’t considered a starter anymore.
In an alternate timeline, the biggest Steelers storyline today would be the fact that they benched Darius Slay this game.
