1,000+ receiving yards

A little over a year ago, the Steelers traded Antonio Brown to the Las Vegas Raiders. While it was undoubtedly the right move to part ways with Brown due to his off-the-field antics, Pittsburgh definitely missed his production on the field in 2019.

With Brown no longer in the offense, the Steelers were confident that Smith-Schuster could become the team’s No. 1 wide receiver. Even though he was catching passes from three different quarterbacks, Smith-Schuster put together a disappointing season in 2019, catching a career-low 42 passes for 552 yards and three touchdowns.

Nevertheless, Claypool should be able to alleviate some pressure off of Smith-Schuster, allowing him to return to the same player he was in 2018. On the other hand, with Smith-Schuster, Johnson, and Washington also drawing the attention of defenses, Claypool could find himself with over 1,000 receiving yards in his rookie season.
