  Pirates Trade Deadline Disappointment + Steelers Fantasy Upside

  Jul 29, 202643 min

  Welcome back to Out of Town Yinzers! Will the Front Office make a big splash for bullpen help, or will sky-high asking prices push them toward smaller moves? We review potential trade chips (Sammy Stafura, Wyatt Sanford, Axiel Plaz), untouchable top prospects (Seth Hernandez, Murph Gray, Merlin Florentino), and how incoming reinforcements like Endy Rodríguez, Spencer Horwitz, and Oneil Cruz can jumpstart the lineup. Next, with Steelers training camp underway, we break down fantasy football ADPs across the offensive roster. Are Aaron Rodgers, Jaylen Warren, Rico Dowdle, Pat Freiermuth, DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., and rookie Germie Bernard values or fades in Mike McCarthy's new offense? To wrap things up, we start looking ahead to college football season with a spotlight on two Pitt Panthers position groups: the re-tooled running back unit (Ja'Corey Turner, Damon Ferguson) and Pat Narduzzi's dominant defensive line front (Jimmy Scott, Isaiah Neal).
