Best NFL DFS Picks for Sunday: Ravens vs. Steelers- December 11 | 2022 NFL Regular Season
The Baltimore Ravens travel to the "Steel City" to take on their arch-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. Baltimore's transition from Lamar Jackson to Tyler Huntley keeps their playoff chances alive. The Steelers have already made their transition to rookie QB Kenny Pickett. For the Steelers, the future is now. Will Baltimore keep their playoff hopes alive, or will the Steelers upset their bitter rivals?
Best quarterback picks, Ravens vs. Steelers
Cash Games: Kenny Pickett, QB, Pittsburgh (DraftKings $5.2, FanDuel $6.6K)
We saw Baltimore destroyed in the passing game in 2022. Kenny Pickett continues to improve week after week. If the Steelers cannot run the ball effectively, expect them to put the ball in the hands of their rookie signal-caller.
Tournaments: Tyler Huntley, QB, Baltimore (Draftkings $5.5, FanDuel $7K)
DFS players will likely choose the cheaper, more reliable option in Kenny Pickett. The Steelers secondary is vulnerable, but can Tyler Huntley take advantage of the Steelers' deficiency? Going against the grain can allow you to gain leverage against the field.

Best running back picks
Cash Games: Najee Harris, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers (DraftKings $5.8, FanDuel $6.7K)
With Baltimore's backfield in flux, Najee Harris is the chalk play at the RB position. Baltimore's front seven may control the Steelers' offensive line. Look for the Steelers to utilize Najee Harris as a receiver out of the backfield.
Tournament: Gus Edwards, RB, Baltimore Ravens (DraftKings $5.2K, FanDuel $6.2K)
It's anyone's guess how the Baltimore backfield plays out. Kenyan Drake has looked like the most explosive back at times. The team loves Gus Edwards. Now J.K. Dobbins is back in the mix. Take the more reliable Gus Edwards.
Wide receivers and tight ends
Cash Games: George Pickens, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers (DraftKings $5K, FanDuel $6.3K)
Pickens is the most dynamic receiver for the Steelers, and with Diontae Johnson banged up, expect the Steelers to throw the ball to Pickens even more.
Tournament: Mark Andrews, TE, Baltimore Ravens (DraftKings $6.5K, FanDuel $6.8K)
At first glance, many DFS players may want to fade Mark Andrews. The Ravens' passing game has been in neutral for about two months, and even last week, they were barely able to move the ball against the Denver Broncos. The Ravens are currently dealing with QB Lamar Jackson being out and backup QB Tyler Huntley under center. There are signs of optimism here. We saw briefly last year that Tyler Huntley will lock on to his primary pass-catcher. Expect Baltimore to lean on Andrews in a match between the division rivals.
