Wide Receiver (5)

  1. Antonio Brown
  2. Juju Smith-Schuster
  3. James Washington
  4. Eli Rogers
  5. Marcus Tucker

I think James Washington is capable enough to play right away and I think he contributes early as their third receiver. Eli Rogers is not on the roster, but I think he gets signed after he heals from his ACL tear. Marcus Tucker was on the practice squad, but his versatility as a receiver, returner, and special teamer earn him a roster spot. I couldn’t justify a sixth receiver as I think this is the end of the road for Darius Heyward-Bey.

Tight End (3)

  1. Vance McDonald
  2. Jesse James
  3. Xavier Grimble

I don’t see much change in this group. I think the Steelers like Xavier Grimble.
