Pittsburgh Steelers Target Share 2026 — With 2025 Week by Week

2026: the Pittsburgh Steelers have not played yet; this season's shares fill in the morning after their first game. DK Metcalf led the Pittsburgh Steelers with 19.1% of the team's targets in 2025 (99 of 517), ahead of Kenny Gainwell 16.4%, Calvin Austin III 10.6%. Below, every Pittsburgh Steelers skill player's touches week by week for 2025 — with scoring-territory touches (inside the opponent's 50) beside each number. No major mid-season role displacement was detected — this backfield/receiver room held its shape all year.
