Another week of Black and Gold football, another week of disappointment for fans hoping to see the not-so-new WR have an influence on them . Critics of the Steelers' use of Williams appear to be a dead horse as he continues to see minimal involvement despite being in Pittsburgh for nearly a month now.
Also with WR sidelined by an injury in Week 13 – and the NFL commentary team suggested that Williams should help with a better understanding of the playbook – the wide receiver finished the game with an unimpressive stat line of zero targets, zero catches, zero total yards. and just 17 total snaps on offense against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Since being acquired by Pittsburgh, Williams has played just seven, 15 and 11 snaps in Weeks 10-12, respectively. To make matters worse, Austin and WR Van Jefferson have consistently outplayed him.
Once again, Williams finds himself in a crowded wide receiver room, and at this point it looks like Steelers GM Omar Khan has traded a 2025 fifth-round pick to the and took over Williams' remaining salary for practically nothing.
