STEELERS SEAL DEAL FOR SWITZER Monday, August 27, 2018
The Pittsburgh Steelers acquired wide receiver Ryan Switzer and a sixth-round draft pick in 2019 from the Oakland Raiders for a fifth-round draft pick in 2019.
What does it give the Pittsburgh Steelers?
In Switzer, the Steelers add a slot receiver with plenty of shiftiness and quickness. In fact, he might become a factor in the return game (if he is able to land a roster spot after training camp).
What does it give the Las Vegas Raiders?
It is a little surprising that the Raiders gave up on Switzer, especially in light of the season-ending injury to fellow slot receiver Griff Whalen. Oakland did get a pick upgrade for next year.
Fantasy Impact
Switzer will be in tough to receive targets in Pittsburgh, a team loaded with wide receiver talent. His best bet will be to become a regular return man for the Steelers. His fantasy stock is negligible at this point.
