This season has not been kind to Ladarius Green. Signed in the offseason to a four-year, $20 million contract, Green was supposed to be a big-play weapon for the Steelers. Unfortunately, Green spent the beginning of the 2016 season on the Physically Unable to Perform list due to offseason ankle surgery and then a recurring concussion problem. He's only racked up three catches through two games in 2016.

But to forget that Ben Roethlisberger loves throwing to his tight end would be a mistake -- from 2012 to 2015, Heath Miller manned the starting role and saw 354 targets over four seasons for an average of 87 targets per season. The volume should be there as Green returns to health, and Pittsburgh's offense is a great unit in which to invest.
