The Pittsburgh Steelers finally got production from another receiver not named George Pickens in Week 3. Calvin Austin had four receptions for 95 yards and a touchdown. However, the Steelers still don’t have a perimeter threat opposite of Pickens, but that could change before long.
In a recent column, ESPN’s Dan Graziano listed DeAndre Hopkins, as well as Christian Kirk as receivers the Steelers could target.
“I expect them to continue to monitor the receiver trade market as the deadline approaches,” Graziano wrote. “Tennessee’s DeAndre Hopkins and Jacksonville’s Christian Kirk are two veterans who could conceivably become available and might be appealing to the Steelers if their teams continue to lose and fall out of the playoff race.”
Hopkins would likely make the most sense for the Steelers. It likely wouldn’t take a high draft pick to acquire his services, and if they wanted to bring him back on a one-year deal, the price wouldn’t be too steep.
