The Pittsburgh Steelers are rumored to be in the market for a new wide receiver after stumbling against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday Night Football. A rough outing against Joe Flacco and Co. is hardly a reason for drastic change, but the front office (and the fanbase) have identified the need for added talent in order to make a significant playoff push. While it’s tempting to pull the Aaron Rodgers classic and predict a trade for Allen Lazard, we’ll resist the urge and identify four other receivers that the Steelers might make a move for before the trade window closes on November 4.

Jakobi Meyers

Meyers does not want to be a Raider, having been denied his trade request at the start of the season. Las Vegas is far from being competitive, and Meyers hasn’t been productive with Geno Smith as his quarterback. His expiring contract and comparatively low stats have sunk his trade value, which is great news for potential trade partners. Meyers is a veteran presence with sure hands, making him an ideal complement for any offense. While he may not have the top-end speed the Steelers are looking for, he is still capable of earning a decent share of targets in Pittsburgh’s offense.

Rashid Shaheed

There’s been a lot of chatter online about New Orleans’ top target Chris Olave, but there could be an even better option for a much smaller price. Shaheed has carved out a name for himself with pure speed, but he’s flown under the radar so far due to his team’s underwhelming performance. With his rookie contract set to expire at the end of this season, the Saints might not have room to pay him as they continue to try and build a contender. Shaheed’s low price tag makes him an appealing asset for the front office, and his ability to get downfield makes him an appealing target for Rodgers, who can still spin it with the best of them at the age of 41.

Jahan Dotson

If Meyers has been quiet this year, Dotson has been mute. The Philadelphia Eagles don’t throw the ball too much to begin with, and he’s been stuck behind AJ Brown and Devonta Smith in terms of target share. Dotson would love to return to the level of production he had in Washington,but the opportunities are slim considering that even Brown isn’t getting the ball enough .Having spent time in Philly and at Penn State, a trip to the other side of the state could be exactly what he needs. Dotson is a human joystick who’s hard to touch in the open field, and his explosive first step can create plenty of space playing out of the slot. If the Steelers want speed, Dotson is a great choice.

Adonai Mitchell

A second-round pick in 2024, Mitchell was anticipating having a larger role for the Indianapolis Colts this year. However, his statline (8/145/0) has him looking like the odd man out in an explosive Colts offense. Mitchell’s potential has yet to be realized, but a change of scenery could help the young receiver out a bit. The raw athleticism and massive catch radius is enticing enough to make a deal for the right price if the Steelers are willing to take the risk. There have been questions about his focus and his maturity, but that won’t be anything new for Mike Tomlin and the Steelers.
