LB Patrick Queen vs. RBs Najee Harris & Jaylen Warren

The Steelers ran for 202 yards last week against the Seahawks, including 122 from Harris. With Mason Rudolph under center, Pittsburgh's ground game has led back-to-back 30-point efforts. If there has been one Achilles heel in the Ravens defense, it's been against the run. Baltimore ranks No. 13 in rush defense, surrendering 106.6 yards per game.

S Geno Stone vs. QB Mason Rudolph

Stone will likely see a lot of action again, especially if Kyle Hamilton (knee) is sidelined. Stone got an interception last week against the Dolphins and he's hungry to make a point after being snubbed from the Pro Bowl. Rudolph hasn't thrown an interception in his two starts. The Ravens, who lead the league in takeaways, are looking to change that.

RT Daniel Faalele vs. OLB T.J. Watt

Watt is having another fantastic season that could end with a Defensive Player of the Year award. He's tied for the league lead in sacks (17) with Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson. Faalele has been sharing reps with Morgan Moses the past several weeks and could take on an even larger share considering the game's stakes.

WR Rashod Bateman vs. CB Joey Porter Jr.

With Odell Beckham Jr. ruled out (precautionary reasons) and Zay Flowers (calf) doubtful, Bateman may be the Ravens' top receiver. It's a role he was slated for last season before his foot injury derailed him. Bateman has been getting among the most separation of any wide receiver in the league, and this is his chance in the spotlight to show what he can do against a top rookie.

QB Tyler Huntley vs. S Minkah Fitzpatrick

Huntley will start with Lamar Jackson held out of action. It's a big opportunity for Huntley, a pending 2024 free agent, to prove himself once again in his first regular-season game action since last season when Jackson was hurt. Huntley has a better cast around him now and will want to maximize it. Fitzpatrick is one of the game's best safeties and is looking for his first pick of the year.
