Chris Boswell Back on Streaming Radar Against Browns
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was busy in Week 3, drilling all three of his extra-point tries and all three of his field goal attempts in a 30-27 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. It was a surprising breakout for Boswell, who had limited opportunities amid Pittsburgh's offensive struggles through the first two weeks. While it's difficult to project the Steelers to score consistently on a weekly basis, fantasy managers should feel fairly confident deploying Boswell against the Cleveland Browns in Week 4. Through the first three weeks, Cleveland has given up the second-most fantasy points to opposing kickers. That makes sense considering the Browns have surrendered just four red-zone touchdowns despite allowing over 340 yards of offense per contest. In what projects to be a low-scoring affair, Boswell could very well lead the way for the Steelers on Thursday night, making him a top-12 option at the position for fantasy purposes.

Pat Freiermuth Risky for Fantasy Purposes in Week 4
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth disappointed against the Cincinnati Bengals last week but will have another chance to make his mark against an AFC North opponent in Week 4. On Thursday Night Football, Freiermuth will face the Cleveland Browns, who have been a favorable matchup for opposing tight ends so far this season. Freiermuth's biggest concern will be playing time, as the 27-year-old has seen his snap share decrease in each of the past two games. Teammate Darnell Washington found success in Week 3, leading Pittsburgh in receiving yards and playing more snaps than Freiermuth for the first time this year. With that in mind, fantasy managers should look for another option this week and monitor the situation to see if Freiermuth continues to trend down.

Aaron Rodgers A Last-Resort QB2 Against Surging Browns Defense
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers turned back the clock in last week's win over the Cincinnati Bengals, and he'll hope to repeat that success against another divisional opponent in the Cleveland Browns this week. Cleveland got off to a rough start in Week 1, but its defense has come alive over the past two weeks, surrendering the 11th-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks in that span. Although Rodgers played great against the Browns in Pittsburgh last season, he managed just 168 scoreless passing yards in Cleveland, where Thursday night's clash will take place. With a projected point total of just 38.5, it's hard to get excited about starting Rodgers in this spot. Fantasy managers should view the veteran as a desperation QB2 in superflex formats for Week 4.

DJ Moore Still Dealing With Shoulder Injury, Limited on Wednesday
Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Moore suffered an AC joint sprain in his shoulder in the Week 2 win over the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football. He was limited in practice last week but ended up playing in the Week 3 win over the visiting Los Angeles Chargers, catching six of his season-high 10 targets for 67 yards. Moore had a successful debut with the Bills in the season-opening win over the Houston Texans, catching five of his eight targets for 100 yards and his first touchdown of the season. Barring a setback with his shoulder this week, all signs point to Moore suiting up again this Sunday against the division-rival New England Patriots. Quarterback Josh Allen has shown plenty of chemistry with his new WR1, so fantasy managers should continue to trust him as a WR2 as long as he stays on the field.
