NFL DFS: Steelers vs. Browns Fantasy Football Picks and Lineup Advice for TNF

Aaron Rodgers will make his final 'Thursday Night Football' appearance in Week 4 as his Pittsburgh Steelers visit the Cleveland Browns. With him retiring at season's end, this is the last time Rodgers will be in the TNF DFS player pool, which is a bit shallow considering both squads' offensive struggles. You could lean heavily towards kickers and defenses with your NFL DFS picks, which may be a daily Fantasy football strategy worth pursuing as they won't do too much damage to your NFL DFS salary cap and allow for splurging elsewhere.

Otherwise, the likes of Jaylen Warren, D.K. Metcalf, Deshaun Watson and Quinshon Judkins are among the biggest names outside of Rodgers. Harold Fannin scored the game's only touchdown when these teams last met, and the tight end's coming off a two-touchdown game a week ago, which likely caused a rise in his NFL DFS price tags. Before making Browns vs. Steelers DFS picks on sites like FanDuel or DraftKings, be sure to check out the NFL DFS advice, strategy, and stacks from SportsLine daily Fantasy expert Mike McClure .

Top NFL DFS picks for Steelers vs. Browns

One of McClure's top NFL DFS picks for Browns vs. Steelers on 'TNF' is Cleveland quarterback Deshaun Watson, who has experienced a bit of a renaissance this season. He ranks 10th at the position in Fantasy points and is coming off back-to-back games with two touchdown passes and zero turnovers. The 31-year-old still has mobility as his 105 rushing yards are fourth most among quarterbacks, and Pittsburgh's pass defense was shredded last week versus the Bengals. The Steelers allowed three passing TDs and 282 yards to Joe Burrow, as Pittsburgh has allowed more passing yards in every successive game in 2026.

McClure is also building lineups around Steelers RB Jaylen Warren, who is coming off 176 scrimmage yards last week against Cincinnati, which is a new career high for the fifth-year player. It was a banner day across the board as Warren had his second most touches (20), third most rushing yards (127) and fourth most receiving yards (49). He should experience continued success against the Browns, who have allowed every starting running back to rack up at least 88 scrimmage yards, and just eight teams are giving up more rushing yards to RBs (106 per game) than Cleveland.  See who else to roster at SportsLine .
