Fantasy Impact
Chase Claypool has all the intangibles to succeed in the NFL, but didn't put up a lot of production in college. Expected to be able to compete for a starting wideout role for the Steelers this season there is potential for Claypool to see a significant number of snaps in his rookie year. The other major receivers in this offense include JuJu Smith-Schuster, Diontae Johnson and James Washington. He is currently going undrafted in re-draft leagues this summer, but could be a waiver wire target later in the season if he can acclimate to the pro-level game.
