Steelers WR Markus Wheaton (not injury related, probable) practiced fully Wednesday. Wheaton will try to follow up a good Week 1 performance against the Ravens on Thursday night.

Steelers second-year WR Markus Wheaton needed just one game to equal the total number of catches he had last season and well eclipse his total receiving yards in a frustrating rookie campaign.

Wheaton's six catches for 97 yards in a 30-27 win against the Browns didn't just help the Steelers avoid what would have been an epic collapse against one of their archrivals. The production and timely catches he delivered in his first NFL start may also portend big things for quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers' passing game.

Fantasy Impact: 

It's just one game but Wheaton is looking like he can put up solid numbers as the team's WR2, something previous players in his position have done with the Steelers. He's a guy to grab off your wire if you're looking for help at the position especially in leagues that play three or more WRs.

Steelers WR Lance Moore (groin, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 1. With Moore out, look for a few extra targets for Antonio Brown and Markus Wheaton, and more two-TE sets with Heath Miller and Matt Spaeth.

With Browns Pro Bowl cornerback Joe Haden expected to shadow Antonio Brown's every move, Steelers' No. 2 receiver Markus Wheaton could get a lot of balls thrown his way in Week 1. The Browns likely will line up rookie Justin Gilbert, and he could be vulnerable to the kind of double-move that resulted in Wheaton's best play -- which went for a touchdown -- in the preseason. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger loves Wheaton, and he could look for the 2013 third-round pick early and often against the Browns.

Fantasy Impact: 

It's tough to start a relative unknown in Week 1, but Wheaton may be worth it for owners looking for a WR3/flex to fill out their starting lineup.
