The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Iowa WR Kaden Wetjen in Round 4 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Wetjen opened his college career with two seasons at Iowa Western Community College before walking on at Iowa. He totaled just 23 catches over the past three seasons, with 22 of those coming last year. Wetjen was dynamic on special teams, though, averaging 27.5 yards per kick return, 17.7 yards per punt return, and scoring six total return TDs over the last three years. That figures to be his primary role as a pro. Wetjen is only on the radar in fantasy leagues that score for return production.
Unless your league gives points for return yardage, Wetjen offers no redraft value.
He will be a returner only, especially as a rookie.
Wetjen will start as a return only player, but could emerge to contribute down the line. If second round pick Germie Bernard doesn’t work out, perhaps Wetjen can work his way up the depth chart.
Ultimately, Wetjen will likely max out as a gadget only offensive player who settles as a punt and kick returner. Wetjen flashes athletic ability, but hw hasn't shown the production to be a full-time WR.
Pass on him in rookie drafts unless your league awards return yardage.
