To analyze this specific Showdown slate, I looked through thousands of NFL matchups from 2014-2020 and found the closest analogies to this matchup according to the following parameters: betting spread, over/under, average fantasy points scoring for the top-ranked positional players of both rosters (QB1, RB1, WR1, TE1).
TAKEAWAYS
There appears to be value on Benny Snell as the lead Steelers RB in a highly favored matchup, but less so for the very cheap Anthony McFarland Jr.
If you like risk, you can think about rostering Robert Griffin III with receivers like Marquise Brown and Dez Bryant with the lack of tight ends on the roster.
