Steelers | Wheaton a big play threat

Source: Footballguys.com

In 2012 Steelers rookie WR Markus Wheaton had 21 receptions, on passes of 15 yards or longer, which ranked 2nd in Pac-12 last year behind Marqise Lee (USC). Our View: Mike Wallace who? That's what the Steelers are hoping Wheaton makes fans say. Wheaton is fast like Wallace but a more natural receiver who does a good job of adjusting to poorly thrown passes. He'll compete for playing time as the Steelers third WR behind Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders in 2013.

DeAndre Hopkins HOU (1st RD) -

While Cordarrelle Patterson may have the best upside from a raw skills perspective in this years class, it is Deandre Hopkins that is No.1 on my board. In Hopkins you have the most polished receiver in this class and he should be a slam dunk, week one starter opposite Andre Johnson.

At worst case Hopkins will be a bye week starting option in his rookie year and at best case he’s probably a weekly WR3 play. By next year we should see his floor at WR3, and his upside could blossom as far as a WR1 in PPR leagues, if the injury bug jumps up and bits Johnson again.

Markus Wheaton could make immediate impact

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review writes that 3rd-round WR Markus Wheaton could make the biggest impact of any Steelers rookie this season. Wheaton brings good downfield speed and polished route running. Doug Farrar of Yahoo!'s Shutdown Corner blog compared him to Brandon Lloyd. Wheaton, of course, will likely compete with 1st-round OLB Jarvis Jones and 2nd-round RB Le'Veon Bell for the "most impactful" label. But the fact that he's in the discussion makes Wheaton worth a look later in your fantasy draft. He might open the season behind only Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders on the WR depth chart.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger talks about playing without WR Mike Wallace

The Steelers really had no chance of re-signing wide receiver Mike Wallace, but the sting of not having him on the Heinz Field turf will be felt for a while. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger understands this. quot;People don't realize how important it is to have a guy with [Wallace's] ability on the football field and the guy who is probably going to notice it the most right from the get-go is Antonio Brown," Roethlisberger said in a radio interview Friday. "Safeties have to respect Mike's speed. Cornerbacks and the defense are scheming to stop Mike Wallace going deep. It opens us other receivers, so to lose a guy like that is really going to be tough for all of us." FANTASY ANALYSIS: Wallace led the Steelers in receiving yards in each of

Steelers to keep WR Emmanuel Sanders after matching Patriots' offer

Source: Fantasy Football Toolbox

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders is still a Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver. Jordan Woy, Sanders' agent, tweeted Sunday that the team has matched the Patriots' one-year, $2.5 million offer to the 26-year-old wideout, meaning Sanders will spend his fourth season in Pittsburgh. If the Steelers hadn't matched Sanders' offer by midnight tonight, he would have become the Patriots' property. FANTASY ANALYSIS: I guess all of that lobbying by Ben Roethlisberger to keep Sanders worked. It's a worthwhile match for the Steelers, who were looking at the possibility of at having a huge void at WR heading into the draft. They could definitely use more there, but a combination of Sanders and Antonio Brown looks a lot better than Brown

The Steelers, deciding they could not lose another veteran receiver, today matched the one-year, $2.5 million offer sheet Emmanuel Sanders signed with the New England Patriots five days ago. That keeps Sanders for at least one more season in Pittsburgh, but he can leave as an unrestricted free agent next year if they do not come to a longer-term deal. (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette )

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger has been pushing for the team to match the offer restricted free-agent WR Emmanuel Sanders signed with the New England Patriots. The Steelers are not worried about the $2.5 million Sanders would make, but could lose him next offseason.
Huddle Up: If Sanders departs, he joins Mike Wallace as an ex-Steeler WR, taking away a combined 108 catches, 1,462 yards and 9 TDs from the Pittsburgh offense of last season and leaving Big Ben with an uninspiring WR corps headed by Antonio, Brown, Jerricho Cotchery and Plaxico Burress.

FF Today's Take:

UPDATE: Steelers WR Emmanuel Sanders DID NOT sign offer sheet with Patriots

Update: Turns out the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette got a little too eager in its reporting last night. The Observer-Reporter wrote Saturday that while Sanders did visit the Patriots, he left them without an offer. So, nothing has really happened yet. That doesn't mean the Pats won't extend an offer Sanders' way in the future. There is definitely smoke here. ------------------------------------------------ The Patriots are close to adding another weapon to their rebuilt receiving corps.

The Patriots are close to adding another weapon to their rebuilt receiving corps. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported early Saturday morning that Steelers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders has signed an offer sheet presented by the Patriots. Because Sanders is a restricted free agent, the Steelers have five days to either match the offer sheet and retain Sanders' services or let him go. If Sanders joins the Patriots, the Steelers would get their 2013 third-round pick in return, because Sanders was tendered at the third-round level, the round in which he was drafted. Sanders, who turns 26 on Monday, had his best season to date in 2012, catching 44 passes for 626 yards. FANTASY ANALYSIS: My tune on Brady's demise might be changing quickly. If

Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said Friday that he quot;hopes" wide receiver Randall Cobb doesn't play on special teams next season. In 2012, Cobb ranked ninth in the league with 964 kickoff return yards. He also had 292 yards and a touchdown on punts. But the bulk of his value came on offense where he caught 80 passes for 954 yards and eight touchdowns. FANTASY ANALYSIS: It's the really smart thing to do. Frankly, I'm not sure why any team places one of their best wide receviers on the field to return kicks and punts. The risk of injury is so much greater on those plays. I owned both Wes Welker and Antonio Brown last season, and I couldn't stand to watch them work on special teams. Cobb suffered knee and ankle injuries in Week 16 on a

The Pittsburgh Steelers will make wide receiver a top priority in this year's draft with TE Heath Miller (knee) injured and WRs Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders both similar receivers that won't strike fear in opposing secondaries due to their lack of threat on the deep routes. California WR Keenan Allen may be a target, as he's considered a top-15 pick. Tennessee WR Cordarrelle Patterson is another prospect expected to be taken in the first round, but he's not as polished as Allen and lacks top-end speed.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Antonio Brown, who might be the team's No. 1 receiver next year, said he plans on working on his ball-security issues this offseason. With WR Mike Wallace expected to depart in free agency, the wide receiver position could become a position of need for the team in the draft.
Huddle Up: Brown finished second on the team with 66 receptions and was third with 787 receiving yards and 5 TDs. He had a pair of fumbles and didn't have an excessive number of drops, so it's nothing that shouldn't keep Brown from becoming the Steelers' No. 1 WR if Wallace departs.

Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert wasn't in a cheery mood Wednesday. Maybe he was just being brutally honest. Colbert had few positive things to say about a team that finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2009. He was asked if the Steelers would consider using the franchise tag on an unrestricted free agent. "Very doubtful," Colbert told Steelers Digest. "When you're 8-8, don't think we have too many franchise players." That wasn't Colbert's only criticism of the Steelers' roster. "If we don't change a roster that produced 8-8, we'd be silly to expect a better result," Colbert said, via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Think he was

Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert said recently that it is quot;very doubtful" the team will place a franchise tag on wide receiver MIke Wallace. He added, "I don't think we have too many franchise players. We're not married to anybody." Wallace finished 2012 with 64 receptions, 838 yards and eight TDs. It was his least productive year since his rookie season back in 2009. FANTASY ANALYSIS: Despite Wallace's relative struggles this year, he is going to be a highly-coveted free agent. He has already proven many times that he can break a game wide open downfield and will only be 27 years old at the start of the 2013 season. Fantasy owners should definitely keep an eye on where he ends up. His redraft value may dip, but given

Keep in mind there's no preferred order with these Top 5 lists unless specifically noted, and also accept that this is one of the most subjective of undertakings.

So there may not be a worse time to draft a 2013 fantasy league than today, before the final week of the 2012 regular season has even kicked off. We still have dozens of injuries ahead, plus the usual off-season player movement and coaching changes. And then there's April's NFL Draft.

Thus, we begin this feature with an important warning: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.

The explosive deep threat didn't practice all week because of a strained hip and was officially ruled out on Friday. Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders will be Pittsburgh's top two wideouts in the season finale. FANTASY ANALYSIS: In missing the first game of his career, Wallace may have very well played his final game as a Steeler. He is a free agent after the season, and beat writers believe he will be looking for more money than the team is willing to give him.

"But when, you don't get the ball for two-and-half quarters, you lose focus." Wallace signed a one-year deal this past offseason and will be a free agent in 2013.
