While Cardinals WR Andre Roberts hasn’t always popped statistically, coach Ken Whisenhunt said the staff has seen plenty from Roberts to impress them. From the outside there was an assumption rookie Michael Floyd would jump right into the lineup, but not with what the Cards saw from Roberts.

“We saw the way he worked, the progress he was making,” Whisenhunt said. “Last year there were a lot of times when he won on a route and whether the read didn’t take (the QB) there or whatever happened, he didn’t get the ball. You recognize those things. When you do something like he does, being unselfish, working in the run game, you get a lot of respect for that.”

Whisenhunt noted Roberts’ ability to block in the run game, something he has an appreciation for after coaching receiver Hines Ward in Pittsburgh.

“(Hines) sets the standard and I see a lot of that in Andre,” Whisenhunt said. “That’s pretty high praise for a young guy like Andre, but I think it’s pretty accurate.”

Fantasy Impact: 

In his last 10 games, Roberts posted 43-507-3 which projects to 69-811-4.8 (WR31 numbers in PPR). He should be owned in virtually all 12 team PPR formats.

Darrelle Revis expected to shadow Antonio Brown

Steelers WR Mike Wallace expects Darrelle Revis to cover Antonio Brown and for Antonio Cromartie to stay with him, as he did in their two 2010 games. Wallace caught seven passes for 102 yards against the Jets Dec. 19, 2010, and Cromartie intercepted one pass in that Jets victory. Wallace caught one pass for 6 yards a few weeks later against the Jets in the AFC title game, which the Steelers won.

"Most of the time, I got Cromartie because of the matchup of our skill sets," Wallace said of those games. "AB is a shorter, quicker guy and Revis is a shorter, quicker guy. I think our first year [Sanders] might have had Revis. Mostly, by me being long-strided, as Cromartie, I think he matches up better with me."

Fantasy Impact: 

This is not particularly good news for Brown, who played very limited snaps in the two games against the Jets in 2010. The Steelers' WR2 that year was Hines Ward. He caught two passes for 34 yards in Week 15 and followed that up with two catches for 14 yards in the playoffs. If Cromartie is on Wallace and Revis is on Brown, then Emmanuel Sanders might surprise as the Steelers' WR3. He caught 7 passes for 78 yards in Week 15 of 2010, but just caught one pass for 20 yards in the second matchup.

Hines Ward retires

Hines Ward had no doubt that he wanted to be a Pittsburgh Steeler through his NFL career, and after 14 great seasons, he'll retire that way. In an emotional Tuesday morning press conference, the team's all-time leading receiver announced that he will be hanging 'em up.

"I have accomplished all I have set out for and more," he said. "I don't want to play in any other uniform. Black and gold runs deep in me, and I will remain a Steeler for life."

The Steelers released Ward on February 29, after a 2011 season in which he caught just 46 passes for 381 yards and two touchdowns. "Hines has been an integral part of our success since we drafted him in 1998 and we will forever be grateful for what he has helped us achieve," Steelers president Art Rooney II said at that time. "He has meant so much to this organization, both on and off the field, and we appreciate his efforts over the past 14 years. Hines' accomplishments are numerous, and he will always be thought of as one of the all-time great Steelers."

Fantasy Impact: 

The Steelers are ready to move on to Antonio Brown and Mike Wallace, provided another team doesn't make a run at him.

Ben Roethlisberger

Steelers set to release Hines Ward

After 14 seasons, 1,000 receptions and 85 touchdowns, Hines Ward's tenure in Pittsburgh is all but over. It was once a matter of if, now it's when, and team president Art Rooney II provided those details Wednesday.

“We had a conversation today with Hines Ward and informed him that we plan to release him of his contract prior to the start of the 2012 NFL calendar year,” Rooney told the team’s website.

The 2011 season was Ward's worst since his rookie campaign; he lost his starting job to second-year standout Antonio Brown and managed just 46 catches for 381 yards (and a career-worst 8.3 YPC average), and two touchdowns. Part of Ward's decline can be blamed on age (he's 35), but he also suffered a severely sprained ankle in Week 4's loss to the Texans.

Whatever the explanation, the Steelers are ready to move on without him, which means that the 2012 offense will feature quarterback Ben Roethlisberger throwing to Brown, Emmanuel Sanders and Mike Wallace -- assuming the team extends his contract (he won't be franchised, at least to hear general manager Kevin Colbert at last week's combine). The three wideouts, none older than 25, constitute one of the league's most dynamic receiver corps, which should make new offensive coordinator Todd Haley's job a lot easier.
