Egregious stat exposes Steelers' biggest issue on offense

Related Topics: DK Metcalf, Pittsburgh Steelers

If you were disappointed that the Pittsburgh Steelers didn't come away with a wide receiver at the NFL trade deadline, don't be. This team has far greater issues than trying to supplant Calvin Austin or Roman Wilson on offense. The harsh reality is that there would have never been enough targets to go around anyway.

And I'm not being a rabble-rouser here; it's the truth. Entering Week 10 of the 2025 season, no Steelers wide receiver ranks inside the top 50 in the NFL in targets.

You heard that right.

To be fair, Metcalf ranks 50th on the dot with 47 targets this year, per ESPN stats.
