Team Analysis

This is an extremely deficient team that has almost no hope of reaching the playoffs, let alone winning a playoff game. You need to get to work trying to upgrade some starting positions via trade and possible waiver wire pickups.

Patrick Mahomes should be an okay QB1 for a 12-team league, but there will be multiple weeks where he'll make you regret not upgrading.

Isiah Pacheco is a terrible RB1 for a 12-team league. You should make it your priority to upgrade here.

Najee Harris as your RB2 in a 12-team league is a nightmare scenario. You can't afford a serious weakness here, so try to upgrade ASAP.

Ja'Marr Chase is an awesome WR1 for a 12-team league. He's a stud who you can rely on for consistently impressive production.

DeVonta Smith is an alright WR2 for a 12-team league. He probably won't carry you any weeks, but he should give you some productive games.

Irv Smith Jr. is a horrendous TE1 for a 12-team league. Prioritize upgrading this spot.

Travis Etienne is a rough FLEX1 for a 12-team league. There will be numerous weeks where he'll make you regret not upgrading.

Greg Zuerlein isn't the best kicker, but kickers are basically a guessing game.

In general, don't spend much time worrying about kickers. They are too unpredictable. Try to find a kicker on a team with a good offense. And if he's playing in a dome, even better.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are an average defense. They should be fine most weeks unless they have an unfavorable matchup.
