Big Ben predicts this will be Markus Wheaton's breakout year
by Steve Painter | Sun, Aug 2nd 2:03pm EDT
Appearing on Sirius XM Radio, Ben Roethisberger said that Wheaton will be the Steelers No. 2 receiver this year and predicted a breakout campaign for him. "I think Markus Wheaton is our breakout player of the year," said Ben. "I want that. I want him to have that pressure. Because when we're in two wide receivers, he's our No. 2. And we're asking him to play outside. And we go three wide receivers, we ask him to move inside." (Sirius XM NFL Radio)
Fantasy Impact:
This deals a blow a Martavis Bryant and his skyrocketing ADP. Wheaton is worthy of a later-round flier if he can live up to this news. It's worth keeping an eye on as the Steelers have a prolific offense.
