| Steelers | Three fighting for No. 5 WR job |
Mon, 07 Jul 2014 15:59:32 -0700
Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Steelers WRs Justin Brown, Darrius Heyward-Bey and Derek Moye are still battling for the No. 5 wide receiver job. WRs Antonio Brown, Lance Moore, Markus Wheaton and Martavis Bryant hold the top four spots on the depth chart.
Fantasy Tip: There isn't a lot of fantasy value to go around after Brown, Wheaton and Moore. Bryant is worthy of a late-round flier in deep leagues, given his size in comparison to the Steelers other receivers, and potential end zone usage. Heyward-Bey should stick with the team, leaving recently-drafted Brown to beat out Moye, who failed to see much playing time in 2013, after breaking camp as an undrafted free agent.

Tue, 17 Sep 2013 09:39:54 -0700
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said WR Markus Wheaton will have a bigger role in the offense moving forward.
Fantasy Tip: The lack of a solid running game, normally a Steelers staple, is hurting this offense big time. Wheaton could provide more explosiveness through the air. He could be a sneaky waiver wire addition for later this season.

| Steelers | Markus Wheaton could be deep threat |
Wed, 29 May 2013 11:25:08 -0700
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Markus Wheaton, the team's third-round draft pick, might be the logical choice to replace WR Mike Wallace as the team's deep receiving threat this year. Wheaton ran a 4.5-second 40-yard dash before the draft, but he won't be able to work out with the team until he graduates from Oregon State. Fellow rookie WR Justin Brown will compete with Wheaton for playing time this year.
Fantasy Tip: Wheaton could be a nice surprise as a late-round flier in deeper leagues, but remember, Todd Haley's offense isn't expected to stretch the field through the air all that much.

The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Oregon State WR Markus Wheaton with the No. 79 overall selection in the 2013 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Tip: The addition of the shifty Wheaton will put a smile of the face of QB Ben Roethlisberger, who gets another target. There isn't a whole lot standing in the way of Wheaton becoming a fantasy option earlier rather than later.
