Summary
Vance McDonald got replaced at the top of the depth chart when the Steelers signed Eric Ebron in free agency. Back in mid-March, the Steelers re-worked McDonald's contract, converting his $5.5 million base salary to a signing bonus. They did that to free up some cap space and also so that McDonald's spot on the roster was sewn up. Last year, McDonald was brutal for the Steelers. He averaged just five yards per target and scored just three times in what was a forgettable year. In more of a reserve role behind Ebron, McDonald should be able to stay healthy...something that's been a bit of a problem for him as a pro. We'll see what his role means this year for his fantasy value, but there are plenty of other options out there for Fantasy GMs looking for upside at the backup TE position in 2020.
