Donte Moncrief

The Steelers didn’t make Moncrief the 14th highest paid player on the team to not use him. Moncrief’s big body make him a suitable candidate to play the ‘X’ position. However, Moncrief also offers a bit more speed than any of the other receivers on the Steelers roster.

Moncrief has never been overly productive, and I think his role may be a bit limited on the Steelers. However, I would use Moncrief as the primary backup to James Washington – a player who can go across the middle and occasionally win down the field.
