Outlook
At 28, the 6-foot-3 Notre Dame product is a blocking-first depth piece behind Pittsburgh's established pass-catchers, not a target earner. Projections peg him around 5 catches for 51 yards and minimal scoring, with no meaningful draft value and a lingering hand issue that doesn't move the needle.

Ben Skowronek Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth WR for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR159 last season at 1.2 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's WR87 at 4.4 PPR points per game, against 1.2 over 15 games last season (WR159). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 134th of 142 in target volume (1.1% target share), 131st of 142 in downfield role (1.9% air-yards share) and 93rd of 142 in efficiency (1.19 yards per route run). Target volume is the soft spot. Aaron Rodgers is his quarterback.
He's WR2 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
The next favorable matchup is the Colts in Week 5 (9th against WRs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
The advanced profile is the story here, and it's a stark one: Skowronek logged just 58 routes across 16 games in 2025, a 10% route share that translated to a 1.1% target share and a 0.03 WOPR. He turned six looks into four catches for 69 yards and a score, and the per-snap efficiency is actually fine -- 0.901 EPA per play, a 66.7% success rate, 17.3 yards per reception -- but the volume is a rounding error. His snap rate has stalled near 15% for three straight seasons, and the routes have only shrunk.
At 28, the 6-foot-3 Notre Dame product is a blocking-first depth piece behind Pittsburgh's established pass-catchers, not a target earner. Projections peg him around 5 catches for 51 yards and minimal scoring, with no meaningful draft value and a lingering hand issue that doesn't move the needle. He's a roster afterthought in all standard formats.

What is Ben Skowronek's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?
Ben Skowronek projects as a depth WR for deep leagues only for the rest of the 2026 season: waiver-wire material in 12-team PPR, 10-team PPR and half-PPR leagues. His target volume (1.1% target share, 134th of 142 WRs in 2025) holds him back. See his live rank in Redraft Command.
