Pittsburgh Steelers (DEF - PIT)

7/2/26 1:00 PM -
‘Father Time Has Caught Up:’ PFF Gives Aaron Rodgers Lowly Ranking. The Pittsburgh Steelers bringing back Aaron Rodgers for a second season is a move that many pundits are questioning. After all, Rodgers struggled last season under pressure, got rid of the ball in the fastest time of his career, and generally didn’t push the ball down the field. In the Steelers’ AFC Wild Card blowout […]

DK Metcalf (WR - SEA)

Steelers’ 3rd WR Could Have Smaller Role In Steelers’ Offense Than You’d Think, Kaboly Says. Arthur Smith may be gone, but how important will the third wide receiver be in Mike McCarthy’s Steelers offense? While we should see an increase in 11 personnel, Mark Kaboly is skeptical that another receiver will have a big impact. With DK Metcalf returning and Michael Pittman Jr. added this offseason, those are your producers, […]

DeVonta Smith (WR - PHI)

7/2/26 4:00 AM -
DeVonta Smith primed for a big season.
Expected to dominate targets as long as he stays healthy
A huge part of the equation for the Eagles' willingness to trade Brown was that they believe that DeVonta Smith is primed for stardom. Smith has averaged over 1,000 receiving yards per season despite serving as a complementary piece to Brown. He is wired for big moments and big roles, and feels more than ready to become the focal point of the Eagles' passing game. He will almost certainly dominate targets in 2026 as long as he stays healthy. (Philly Voice)
FF Today's Take: In a breakdown the Eagles wide receiver room, long time beat reporter Jimmy Kempski is expecting a big jump in production for Smith in 2026. That seems obvious with A.J. Brown now with the Patriots, but it's good to get conformation from plugged in sources. Rookie Makai Lemon is expected to fill the slot role and should participate in training camp after missing time this off-season with a hamstring injury.Source:

The Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t done tweaking their roster, as with training camp less than a month away, the usual churn as the team figures out the best 53-man roster will occur.
