Eli Rogers, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers

Second-year wide receiver Eli Rogers may not be a household name in many lineups, but he should be on your radar for 2017. Why?

Rogers has suited up in seven contests this year for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and in six of them, he's received five or more targets. With Sammie Coates hampered by two broken fingers and Martavis Bryant serving a one-year suspension, Coates seems to be stepping up and building a rapport with Ben Roethlisberger.

Two weeks ago against a tough Baltimore Ravens pass defense, Rogers showed a glimpse of what he can do, catching 10 balls for 103 yards and a touchdown. Given the uncertainty of Bryant's future, he's no lock to come back and play in 2017 (hello, Josh Gordon). Regardless, Rogers has done enough to warrant stashing.
