The Pittsburgh Steelers are sitting 2023 first-round pick Broderick Jones in favor of starting 2024 first-round pick Troy Fautanu. Fthroughout the entire week and is only now fully healthy after suffering an MCL sprain against the Houston Texans on August 9. Jones is dealing with two separate arm injuries. He has a huge brace on that arm for an elbow injury, but appeared to suffer a hand injury to the same arm at some point since the elbow injury. All of that has sapped his power on that side. Pro Football Focus credited Jones with allowing two sacks in the first game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Fautanu, the 20th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft out of Washington, is supremely talented, and the Steelers did not think he would fall that far. Now, he will have the chance to show what he can do against a Broncos team that got after the quarterback against the Seahawks. His primary opponent for the day, Jonathan Cooper, had two sacks in Week 1., where our team of sports betting experts has reviewed the experience, payout speed, parlay options and quality of odds for multiple sportsbooks.
