Brandon Boykin enjoying expanded role with Steelers DST

Boykin is settling in well in Pittsburgh, claiming to be happy in his position despite “jumping on a moving train†at his new team. Boykin saw snaps at both corner and the slot in Pittsburgh’s preseason loss to Minnesota. (Steelers)
Fantasy Impact:
Boykin rushed several times from the slot, and a developed role in the blitz could provide added value through the season. However, after being restricted to the slot in Philadelphia, it is the move back outside to CB that is the best sign for his fantasy value. An expanded role in a rebuilding Steelers’ DST will help Boykin's chances of replicating his 2013 form of 6 INTs and 1 TD
