Wide receivers (6)

  1.  Antonio Brown
  2. JuJu Smith-Schuster
  3. James Washington
  4. Justin Hunter
  5. Derrius Heyward-Bey
  6. Quadree Henderson/Marcus Tucker

I think the receiver group will have five guys out of camp. There is a surprise on the roster but I could not pick between the two this early so Henderson or Tucker get the nod as the 6th receiver.

Brown, JuJu and Washington are locks for obvious reasons. They also look to be the three starters at receiver.

Heyward-Bey and Hunter are veterans who can provide depth for the Steelers. These two won’t likely contribute much on offense but they are solid options to have as backups.

Hunter looks to revive his career and has impressed in offseason workouts thus far in 2018. Heyward-Bey serves as a great veteran presence and vital special teams player.
