Wheaton recorded two catches for 16 yards in Pittsburgh's 23-13 loss against Kansas City on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Targeted just four times all game, Wheaton's role in the Steelers' offense has taken a hit since Martavis Bryant returned to action. The anticipated return of Ben Roethlisberger (knee) in Week 9 might help, but is would seem that Wheaton is little more than a bye week replacement.

Wheaton had one catch for eight yards in Pittsburgh's 25-13 win over Arizona on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

With Martavis Bryant returning from his suspension, Wheaton saw just two targets all game, and will likely continue to have a diminished role in the offense. He failed to take advantage of the opportunity provided by Bryant's absence, and has just nine receptions for 228 yards and one touchdown on the season.

Wheaton finished Monday night's win over the Chargers with one catch (on three targets) for 72 yards and a touchdown.

EDGE Analysis

Wheaton's contributions Monday were limited to one catch, but it resulted in a game-long gain, as he connected with quarterback Mike Vick on a deep pass during the fourth quarter. That play marked Wheaton's first touchdown of the season and his 72 yards were a season-high as well. Those realities evidence Wheaton's relatively modest fantasy value, which could take a hit once Martavis Bryant (knee) is ready to return.

Wheaton (ankle) is listed as active for Monday's game against the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

With Martavis Bryant not yet ready play, Wheaton has another chance to make a mark while working behind top wideout Antonio Brown, but through four games thus far, he's been limited to a modest total of eight catches for 156 yards.

Wheaton (ankle) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Wheaton was able to practice fully all week, so he should not be slowed Monday night. He is due for a move down the receiver pecking order whenever Martavis Bryant is ready to play, but with Bryant still not on the active roster and uncertain to play Monday, Wheaton will likely remain the starting receiver opposite Antonio Brown in Week 5.

Wheaton (ankle) practiced fully Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Wheaton should be fine for Monday night's game against the Chargers, though the impending return of Martavis Bryant caps Wheaton's Week 5 fantasy upside in the Steelers' Mike Vick-helmed passing offense.

Wheaton injured his ankle during Thursday's loss to the Ravens, finishing with one catch for 18 yards on his only target.

EDGE Analysis

Wheaton suffered the injury in the first half and was announced as probable to return, but he didn't play any snaps after halftime, leaving Darrius Heyward-Bey and Sammie Coates to work alongside Antonio Brown, according to Pro Football Focus. Even if the extra rest before Week 5 allows for a return to full health, Wheaton has seemingly missed his chance to become a leading contributor in the Pittsburgh offense. Martavis Bryant is expected to return from a suspension for Week 5 against the Chargers, and while Wheaton opened the season ahead of his more talented teammate on the depth chart, Bryant figures to be more involved in the offense. Wheaton caught just eight passes for 156 yards on 15 targets during Bryant's four-game absence.

Wheaton (chest) caught 2-of-3 targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 12-6 win over the Rams.

EDGE Analysis

On top of the lackluster Week 3 stat line, Wheaton's status moving forward took a hit, with QB Ben Roethlisberger having suffered a knee injury that figures to sideline him at least a few weeks. Moreover, fellow wideout Martavis Bryant (suspension) is poised to return to the Steelers' lineup in Week 5, at which time Wheaton will have added competition for targets in the Pittsburgh offense.

Wheaton (chest) is active for Sunday's game at St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Wheaton has only five catches on the year so far, but he will look to add to that total against the Rams.

Wheaton (chest) practiced fully Friday and is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Rams.

EDGE Analysis

Through two games, Wheaton has caught five passes for 122 yards, numbers that have given him modest fantasy utility out of the gate, while working in tandem with top wideout target Antonio Brown. Wheaton's opportunities on that front should continue for for the next two games, while Martavis Bryant's suspension continues.
