PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers' high-powered offense is at its best when a third option lessens the burden on Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell. Various players have held this role in the last two years, from Heath Miller to Martavis Bryant, Markus Wheaton to Sammie Coates.
But the Steelers haven't been getting enough from this spot in recent weeks. Coates has managed 4 receiving yards in the last two weeks while dealing with a fractured finger, Ladarius Green is just working his way back into practices and Eli Rogers fell out of favor for the Steelers' Week 7 matchup with the New England Patriots.
