Ayomanor didn't record a catch on two targets in Saturday's 29-7 loss to the Buccaneers.

Ayomanor took snaps with Cameron Ward on the field, mixing in with Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett on the team's first two offensive possessions. While he was unable to record a catch and also played one additional drive after the starters were pulled, Ayomanor appears to be solidifying a role in the Titans' offense in his rookie campaign.

Williams secured both of his targets for 55 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 31-25 preseason win over Jacksonville.

Williams has impressed during camp while working solely with the second and third units, and he led the team in receiving yards Saturday while finding the end zone late in the fourth quarter. Roc Taylor has drawn plenty of attention during camp due to his size and physicality, but Williams has played on the inside and outside during camp while making solid catches regularly, and he showcased his potential late in Saturday's preseason opener. The 23-year-old isn't guaranteed a spot on the Steelers' 53-man roster to begin the regular season, but if he continues to make am impact during camp and preseason play, he could also make a case for some playing time at some point during the 2025 campaign since the Steelers don't have many receivers with established roles behind DK Metcalf.

Lockett recorded one catch on one target for seven yards in Saturday's 29-7 preseason loss to the Buccaneers.

Lockett was on the field for two offensive possessions, both of which were led by Cameron Ward. He served as a short-area target, as he also had a four-yard reception that was wiped away by penalty. The more important takeaway is that Lockett appears to have a place in the Titans' starting unit and could be targeted frequently in the quick passing game as Ward gets up to speed in the NFL.

Taylor secured two of three targets for 38 yards during Saturday's 31-25 preseason win over the Jaguars.

Taylor signed with the Steelers as an undrafted free agent in April following a productive collegiate career at Memphis. He isn't guaranteed to make Pittsburgh's 53-man roster in 2025, but he's impressed through his size and physicality early in training camp. The 22-year-old saw some looks in the third quarter of Saturday's matchup, and it's possible that he continues to earn some work ahead of the regular season. While Taylor's role is far from guaranteed, the undrafted rookie could make a case for some regular-season playing time if he continues to impress in camp, as the Steelers don't yet have many receivers locked into roles behind DK Metcalf heading into 2025.

Tolbert caught one of two targets for minus-1 yard in Saturday's 31-21 preseason loss to the Rams.

Tolbert failed to find much traction as the top wide receiver dressed for the Cowboys, who rested CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, as well as starting quarterback Dak Prescott. Tolbert's the clear favorite to begin the regular season as the team's No. 3 wideout after setting career highs in catches (49), receiving yards (610) and touchdown catches (seven) last season. Dallas' next preseason game is Aug. 18 against the Bengals.

Skowronek secured his lone target for three yards during Saturday's 31-25 preseason win over the Jaguars.

Skowronek saw a limited role with the Steelers in 2024, securing all five of his targets for 69 yards across 10 regular-season appearances. He re-signed with the team during the offseason, but if he makes Pittsburgh's 53-man roster in 2025, he's unlikely to have a fantasy-relevant role.

Harrison brought in his only target for 15 yards in the Cardinals' 20-17 preseason win over the Chiefs on Saturday night.

Harrison officially kicked off his highly anticipated 2025 with a 15-yard grab over the middle on Arizona's first drive, but the second pass thrown his way later in the possession was intercepted by the Chiefs' Jaden Hicks. Harrison didn't see the ball come his way again, but it was nevertheless a relatively encouraging start to the preseason for the bulked-up 2024 first-round pick, who's probably aiming to significantly improve on what was considered a lackluster campaign relative to expectations. Harrison and the rest of the first-team offense could see more work during the Cardinals' second preseason game, which comes on the road against the Broncos next Saturday night.

Miller secured all four of his targets for 47 yards during Saturday's 31-25 preseason win over the Jaguars.

Miller had a limited role over 13 regular-season appearances with Pittsburgh last year, securing five of nine targets for 69 yards. However, he had a strong showing during Saturday's preseason opener, tying for the team lead in targets and receptions while recording the second-highest yardage total among the team's receivers. The Steelers lost George Pickens during the offseason but acquired DK Metcalf, so Miller will likely continue to have limited upside in 2025.

McCutcheon secured both of his targets for 14 yards during Saturday's 31-25 preseason win over the Jaguars.

McCutcheon was cut from the Steelers' practice squad last November, but he rejoined the organization on a reserve/future contract in mid-January. Even if he makes more of an impact in subsequent preseason games, he'll likely have to settle for a practice squad role, at best, in 2025.

Wilson recorded two catches on two targets for 24 yards in Saturday's 31-25 preseason win over the Jaguars.

Wilson is fighting for a role in Pittsburgh's offense after missing all of his rookie season with lower-body injuries. He's gotten mixed reviews during camp but came into the contest with some momentum, and that continued Saturday -- he recorded catches of 19 and five yards from Mason Rudolph. The Steelers are likely to use an unusual amount of two-tight end formations, leaving Wilson's role uncertain heading into the regular season.
