Wide Receivers

  • JuJu Smith-Schuster
  • Donte Moncrief
  • James Washington
  • Ryan Switzer
  • Diontae Johnson
  • Eli Rogers

JuJu Smith-Schuster is primed to have a big year as he takes over for Antonio Brown as the WR1 for the Steelers. Moncrief, Washington, and Rogers will all get time as the outside receiver opposite Smith-Schuster. Washington will look to bounce back after a disappointing rookie season. Switzer and Johnson are two smaller, quicker receivers who will fill the slot receiver position. Switzer is also an excellent returner on Special Teams.
