Smith-Schuster signed a one-year, $8 million deal with the Steelers this off-season in hopes of landing a bigger deal next offseason. In five games, he finishes his season with 15 catches for 129 yards and a touchdown. 

The Steelers will hope James Washington returns from a groin injury in Week 6. Ray-Ray McCloud and Cody White could also see extended roles behind Chase Claypool and Diontae Johnson in Smith-Schuster's absence.
