The Pittsburgh Steelers have been very active in free agency, including the addition of wide receiver Van Jefferson. Today, I wanted to look at and providing some data context to what Jefferson provided for the Los Angeles Rams and Atlanta Falcons last season, along with the most targeted 2023 Steelers wide receivers (minimum of 40) from a stats perspective. The goal is to get some recency context, and see what we can glean for the upcoming season.

Jefferson and the now-released Allen Robinson II land similarly on the opportunity chart.
