Comment () | Share: Steelers | Martavis Bryant expected to help in red zone Fri, 11 Jul 2014 20:15:19 -0700 The Pittsburgh Steelers hope WR Martavis Bryant will be able to be a factor in the red zone and could also be a deep threat on offense, according to wide receivers coach Richard Mann. "He's a big guy, different from what we've had, as far as his length. We feel like we can utilize his talents in the red zone. He has a big reach. He has good speed. So we can use him in various ways, as far as cleaning things out. He's also a deep threat. He does have the speed," Mann said. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Coach happy with Le'Veon Bell's work Fri, 11 Jul 2014 17:58:00 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell performed well during offseason workouts and has been showing improvements in his game, according to manager Mike Tomlin.

Comment () | Share: Steelers | Preseason to determine RB rotation Fri, 11 Jul 2014 17:42:41 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said training camp and preseason games will determine how the team uses RBs Le'Veon Bell, LeGarrette Blount and Dri Archer in the running game.

Blount probably should be considered as a handcuff to Bell or later-round flier in drafts. Archer likely will not be selected in a majority of drafts.

Comment () | Share: Steelers | Two linemen could compete for one spot Wed, 09 Jul 2014 10:17:51 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers OT Guy Whimper and OT Wesley Johnson could compete for one roster spot during training camp if the team decides to keep only eight offensive linemen on their final roster. Comment () | Share: 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.

Comment () | Share: Steelers | May go with three RBs on roster Fri, 04 Jul 2014 16:35:01 -0700 The Pittsburgh Steelers may consider keeping on RBs Le'Veon Bell, LeGarrette Blount and Dri Archer on their final roster and having one running back on their practice squad. Comment () | Share: Steelers | Jordan Hall could be practice squad option Thu, 03 Jul 2014 15:39:32 -0700 Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jordan Hall is considered a long shot to make the final roster but could be a candidate for the practice squad.
