It’s been a quiet week on the Brandon Aiyuk front so for at least one more game the Pittsburgh Steelers will go into a game with their current group. This week the Steelers take on the Buffalo Bills and while there are several positional units to keep an eye on including quarterback and offensive line, wide receiver is where we are focused.
The return of quarterback Russell Wilson is great news for the Steelers wideouts. They will get plenty of snaps from Wilson and Justin Fields.
Van Jefferson has a death grip on the starting spot opposite George Pickens and there doesn’t seem to be any real competition on the roster.
With rookie Roman Wilson still injured, that third receiver spot is up for grabs and this is why we are paying attention. Calvin Austin is far from a lock to be the No. 3 receiver and frankly could find himself on the roster bubble after this week.
Last week was a nightmare for Quez Watkins but he followed it up with a strong week of practice and should get another chance. We also have Scotty Miller who has been a steady competitor throughout camp and the preseason and knows this system well.
