Markus Wheaton Injury News

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger suggested that Markus Wheaton remains the team's #2 WR. "We're in 2-WRs (sets), he's our #2 and we're asking him to play outside," Big Ben said. "When we go 3 WRs we ask him to move inside." Roethlisberger obviously hasn't been reading the clippings on WR Martavis Bryant's impending breakout 2015 season. Bryant remains a strong bet to out-produce Wheaton this year, but if he truly stays 3rd on the depth chart and isn't an every-down player, he'll struggle for week-to-week consistency. This will be a situation to keep a close eye on over the next month. Wheaton could end up as a value pick at his ADP is he retains the #2 spot. Big Ben named Wheaton his team's "breakout player of the year."
