Analysis:

Moore is expected to make his season debut as the Steelers' No. 3 wide receiver, a role that Justin Brown struggled to fill for the first two weeks of the season. Jerricho Cotchery was surprisingly productive in said role last year, catching 46 balls for 602 yards and 10 touchdowns on 76 targets. With the Steelers typically favoring three-wide formations, Moore figures to see quite a bit of the field, though he's still an aging fourth or fifth option in an offense that wants to stay reasonable balanced.
