It hasn’t been a secret that the Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to upgrade their wide receiver room. They were heavily linked to Brandon Aiyuk, Davante Adams, Cooper Kupp, and others dating back to before the season started. That has to be nerve wracking for the current receivers on the roster who stand the most to lose if a WR2 is brought in, especially when they were producing so little as a group through the first several games of the season.

After back-to-back weeks of Russell Wilson starting, the wide receiver room suddenly looks much more competent. They could of course still use an upgrade, but it doesn’t look like the pressing issue it was just a few weeks ago.
