Wheaton looks 'polished': The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports that receiver Markus Wheaton could be the rookie from the Steelers' draft class of 2013 who makes the biggest impact. Wheaton, the leading receiver in Oregon State history, fell to the Steelers in the third round partly because of his 4.45 time in the 40 at the NFL Scouting Combine. “I know it probably hurt his feelings and made him feel bad, but we were happy because, when you put the tape on, he plays fast,” offensive coordinator Todd Haley said of Wheaton, who caught 91 passes for 1,244 yards and 11 touchdowns last season. “He's a fast player and quick. He's an exciting guy to have around.” Haley also called Wheaton “a versatile, good, polished” player. Wheaton said he can envision himself “anywhere” in the Steelers' offense because “I like being all over the place. The defense can't plan for you when they don't know where you're going to be.” (Updated 5/3/13)

Fantasy Analysis
The Steelers will likely go with Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders as the starters with Wheaton lining up in the slot. All three receivers can move around, and with Heath Miller (ACL) hurting, don't be surprised to see a lot of three-receiver sets. We like Wheaton as a late-round flier in seasonal leagues, and he's worth a second-round choice in rookie-only formats. (Updated 5/3/13).
