Player: OLB Alex Highsmith
Stock Value: Up
Reasoning: Although he didn’t do much yesterday, Alex Highsmith has a chance of returning this week. The veteran edge rusher has missed the past two games due to an injury, but could provide a big boost. The Steelers have struggled to keep even two edge rushers healthy simultaneously at times this season.
Sometimes it seems like the more the Steelers attempt to insulate themselves, the more trouble they have. Look at all the inside linebackers they went through last year, or the offensive linemen this year.
