Steelers' Markus Wheaton: No longer listed as starter
Wheaton (shoulder) is no longer listed as a starter on the Steelers' depth chart, ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler reports.
Analysis:
Wheaton has been replaced by Darrius Heyward-Bey, who has just five receptions on 13 targets in seven games this season. Wheaton is still the more intriguing fantasy option of the two, but it's increasingly clear that Sammie Coates (hand) is the only Pittsburgh wideout besides Antonio Brown offering any real upside, though slot man Eli Rogers could also soak up some targets. In addition to his demotion on the depth chart, Wheaton may still be bothered by the shoulder injury that held him out of Pittsburgh's last two games before a Week 8 bye.
