3. Eli Rogers — WR

Eli Rogers made his debut against the Redskins after missing last season due to injury. He caught six passes for 59 yards and a touchdown. He seemed to fit right into to this high-powered Steelers offense. QB Ben Roethlisberger hyped up the 23-year old all preseason and it seemed to pay off.

What makes Rogers so valuable is the chance he has been given. Antonio Brown is the best receiver in football so he will most likely see double-teams, maybe even triple-teams, throughout the season. Martavis Bryant has been suspended for the entire season and Markus Wheaton has been sidelined with a shoulder injury.

So, that opens up a spot for the second year receiver out of Louisville. Rogers is 5-10, and 187 pounds of pure speed and athleticism. A lot of people were impressed by him including his QB and the coaching staff. He is only owned in 18.7 percent of ESPN leagues and that number should rise after his week one performance.

The Steelers are playing the Bengals in week two. Last season, the Bengals gave up the eighth fewest fantasy points to wide receivers. They did a good job at shutting down Brandon Marshall in week one as well. With their focus being on Antonio Brown, expect Rogers to have a good day, he may even find the end zone again.
