Sammie Coates was supposed to be a full-time player after returning from his hand injury, but he has been horribly inefficient over the past month. Despite Darrius Heyward-Bey's injury, Coates has continued to get phased out of the offense, playing just two snaps in Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Cobi Hamilton has been the primary beneficiary of this change in terms of snaps, but it's been Eli Rogers who has seen the biggest uptick in usage.

In Week 9, Rogers caught 6 passes for 103 yards and followed that up with 4 catches for 42 yards and a touchdown on Sunday. He has been involved around the goal line every time he's been active, and he has emerged as the second-best wide receiver on the Pittsburgh Steelers.

There are still a lot of mouths to feed in the Pittsburgh offense, but Rogers has a safe floor as a flex option -- particularly in PPR formats.
