It’s no secret just how bad the Pittsburgh Steelers offense has been this season. The Steelers are only averaging 283.5 yards per game and 20 points. They are one of the only teams in the league yet to have a 300-yard passer. Pittsburgh has been forced to shuffle some roster spots to account for injuries and lack of production. But this week against the Cincinnati Bengals, here are three guys on offense we are looking forward to watching.
TE Nick Vannett
No one expects Vannett to ever be confused with Rob Gronkowski. But you have to think when the Steelers traded for him, it was for more than just to add a part-time blocking tight end. Call it a hunch, but we have a feeling this is going to be a strong week for Vannett.
RB Kerrith Whyte
When Pittsburgh announced it had signed Whyte, I admittedly didn’t know much about him. But once you check out his highlights, you understand why the Steelers poached him from the Bears practice squad: speed. Whyte is ridiculously fast. He could be most productive in the return game in the short run, but I won’t be surprised if the Steelers find a way to scheme a few plays to try to get him the ball on offense as well.
WR Tevin Jones
The Steelers added Jones to the roster last week and immediately threw him into action. He had two receptions for 24 yards against the Browns but with JuJu Smith-Schuster and Diontae Johnson both potentially out this week he could see additional reps opposite James Washington.
