Wheaton Elite Deep Threat for Steelers
Wheaton has evolved into a tremendous big-play asset, averaging 17 yards per reception in 2015. He's the perfect complement to Antonio Brown, who has turned into arguably the NFL's best wide receiver.
Wide receiver Martavis Bryant is suspended for at least this season because of repeated violations of the NFL's substance abuse policy, so Wheaton is expected to see an expanded role this season.
Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley has taken this group to another level, and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is one of the best in the business. So the cupboard is hardly bare in Pittsburgh.
