Making the most of it award

There’s no great candidates this week, but Calvin Austin III did score both of the Steelers’ touchdowns despite playing just 60% of the offensive snaps and 13% of the special teams snaps. That’s good enough for this week’s award.

Takeaways

Both George Pickens and Van Jefferson played 81% of the Steelers’ offensive snaps this week. It’s a slight uptick for both of them with the Steelers playing their receivers less over the last few weeks.
Calvin Austin III also saw an increase, from 48% last week to 60% this week. He’s gaining more trust in the Steelers’ offense.
Najee Harris solidly out-snapped Jaylen Warren on Monday, 58% to 40%, after they each played 50% of the offensive snaps last week.
T.J. Watt (96%) and Alex Highsmith (88%) both played a high number of defensive snaps on Monday. I’m sure they’re looking forward to Nick Herbig returning and a few more breathers during games after the bye.
Beanie Bishop Jr. played an unusually high 82% of snaps last week, but the number rose even more against the Giants to 85%. A lot is matchup based, but the Steelers’ confidence in the rookie is rising. It’ll be interesting to see how he splits time with the returning Cam Sutton after the bye week.
Patrick Queen played 100% of the defensive snaps once again, but both Payton Wilson and Elandon Roberts were under 50%. The Steelers are playing a lot of nickel.
Terrell Edmunds with another game of 20% of defensive snaps or more. He’s quietly becoming a role player in the defense.
The Steelers’ offense to defense ratio this week: 63:67.
