Quick fantasy outlook: The Pittsburgh Steelers have decided to match the one-year, $2.5 million tender offer restricted free-agent WR Emmanuel Sanders signed with the New England Patriots. The team now will work hard to see if they can sign Sanders to a long-term extension. Mike Wallace (Dolphins) moved on in free agency and the team needed to keep Sanders around to start in 2013. He'll take over Wallace's role as the primary deep threat for the Steelers but needs to stay healthy in order to play up to his potential. Last year was the first season Sanders was able to stay healthy for the full 16 game schedule. His 75 targets ranked third on the team in 2012 and that number should go up this year. The second year under offensive coordinator Todd Haley should be smoother than 2012. Sanders commented on why the team was out of sync. "We had a new offensive coordinator. At times, we weren't on the same page. And that's obvious." Sanders said. He's never scored more than two receiving touchdowns in a season but with an expanded role that should go up as well.
