"Ward initially joined Pittsburgh's practice squad at the end of August after not being able to make the 53-man roster out of training camp. The 27-year-old then shuttled between the active roster, practice squad, and free agency. He ultimately appeared in four regular-season games for the Steelers this season, finishing with five carries for 22 yards."

"Metcalf was traded to Pittsburgh after spending his first six NFL seasons in Seattle. Metcalf has proven durable (he's missed three games in his career), but he hasn't quite lived up to lofty expectations. Despite leading the NFL (by 10) with 96 end zone targets since entering the league, Metcalf has finished one season in the top 20 among WRs in fantasy PPG (10th in 2020), though he has finished top 25 in four of his past five seasons. His vertical role has limited his catch total and his scoring has underwhelmed lately, as well (6.3 TDs per season since 2022). With minimal mouths to feed in Pittsburgh, Metcalf is assured of a big target share, but he'll need to overcome obvious quarterback uncertainty. Metcalf has the look of a fringe WR2 who will be more appealing if Aaron Rodgers joins the team."


"Metcalf officially will have his trade request granted, heading to Pittsburgh after six seasons with the Seahawks. The wide receiver is coming off a 2024 campaign in which he caught 66 of 108 targets for 992 yards and five touchdowns over 15 regular-season contests with Seattle. The 27-year-old now will be under contract through the 2030 season, earning the largest contract for a non-quarterback in Pittsburgh's franchise history. As it sits right now, the Steelers do not have any quarterbacks under contract for the 2025 season, but it's possible that Metcalf reunites with his former teammate Russell Wilson in Pittsburgh."

"Wilson is entering his third NFL season, including his second as Marvin Harrison Jr.'s running mate. The 2023 third-round pick was expected to make a Year 2 leap last season, but instead posted a receiving line (47-548-4) that was very similar to that of his rookie campaign (38-565-3) and in three more games. The 25-year-old's best season may be ahead of him, but he's going to be hard-pressed for consistent targets and fantasy output in an offense that features Harrison, Trey McBride and James Conner, and scores a substantial chunk of its touchdowns on the ground. Wilson's only path to the flex discussion will be if Harrison misses time, so he's not worth much late-round consideration."


"Wilson missed Arizona's season finale in 2024 due to a hamstring injury, but he suited up for the team's other 16 regular-season games and secured 47 of 71 targets for 548 yards and four touchdowns. He also rushed once for seven yards. Despite drawing 13 more targets in Year 2, Wilson finished with a relatively similar receiving line to the 38 grabs for 565 yards and three scores he compiled as a rookie, due in large part to his yards per catch dropping from 14.9 to 11.7. With the Cardinals having opted against adding significant competition to the pass-catching corps this offseason, Wilson is positioned to reprise a starting role and operate as Kyler Murray's third-look target behind No. 1 wideout Marvin Harrison and tight end Trey McBride."
