Wide Receiver Rank: #9 Overall: #36
Wallace didn't quite have a career season but had a big year once again. He topped 1,000 yards for the second straight year and had a career best 72 receptions. He had a quick start to his season, hitting the 100-yard mark the first three games of the year. Wallace had just one after Week 3, though. Wallace was a little quiet down the stretch, having fewer than 50 yards three of the last six games as other options emerged in the Steelers passing game. But even with that said, Wallace is the No. 1 receiver for the Steelers. During the last two seasons, Wallace averages 66 receptions for 1,225 yards and nine touchdowns per season. Wallace has great speed and the ability to make a big play every time the ball is in his hands (averages 18.7 yards per catch for his career). His route running still isn't top notch but getting much better. Wallace also has good hands and a knack for making the big play.

Wallace is a top-notch fantasy receiver. His finish was a little bit of a concern but we think he can be more consistent this coming season. It wouldn't surprise to see him get career highs across the board. Wallace can get 80 receptions for 1,300 yards and double-digit scores. Consider him a low-end No. 1 for the coming season. |

| Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said he believes WR Mike Wallace struggled in the second half of last season because teams used a game plan to take Wallace out of the game. 'In many instances, teams took him out of the game,' Tomlin said. 'When you reel off the kind of seven- to eight-game run that he had there to start the season, that's some scary video for defensive coaches in preparations for games. They responded accordingly. But if you have a good football team, it's going to potentially create opportunities for other ready young men.' |
