Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have plenty of problems on offense. But the one group they've invested enough draft capital and salary cap into that shouldn't struggle is its receiver room. George Pickens has made some really nice plays, but Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool both have to do more to help Kenny Pickett get used to the NFL in his rookie season.

The All-22 footage shows there are more opportunities on the field, but drives can't be kept alive if the wide receivers aren't consistent, and shot plays can't be had if they don't step up in big moments for splash plays.

All that, and week 5 stars and skulls grades on Pickett, the receivers, the defense and the struggling offensive line.
