The Pittsburgh Steelers have had a precarious situation at wide receiver over the first half of the season. They were always one George Pickens injury away from a disaster, and the rest of the group ran pretty thin as well. The trade for WR Mike Williams helps stabilize the group and insulates them from one injury derailing the offense.
The Steelers relied on elevating practice squad WR Brandon Johnson to help fill out the group multiple times while Scotty Miller has barely been involved at all. It has more or less been a three-person room with Pickens, Van Jefferson, and Calvin Austin III doing most of the work.
