Pittsburgh Steelers

Le'Veon Bell

When we go back and think about the Christmas Day game between the Houston Texans and the Pittsburgh Steelers, the one play that we'll remember is DeAndre Hopkins' juggling touchdown catch over Joe Haden.

Unfortunately for the Texans, that was largely their only highlight in a 34-6 loss to Pittsburgh.

Hopkins continued his torrid 2017 season with four catches, 65 yards and that touchdown.

Alfred Blue was also remarkable with 16 carries for 108 yards in his best game of the season.

However, Blue was the only Texan who produced wins on Dober Play Cards.

The Steelers tried to limit Le'Veon Bell's activity in Week 16. He only touched the ball 22 times in the game, a far cry from what Bell is used to. He did go over 400 touches for the season with a game left to go, but Bell probably won't be on the field all that much against the Browns in Week 17.

JuJu Smith-Schuster continued to build his rapport with Ben Roethlisberger with Antonio Brown sidelined. Smith-Schuster led all receivers with six catches, 75 yards and a touchdown to produce an easy win against his Projected Fantasy Points total.
