Bills, Steelers could target Trey Lance's brother as the solution to their WR problems image

The Week 13 matchup between the Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers was definitely not a showcase of wide receiver talent.

They're two teams that have felt a little short at WR all season long, and Sunday's clash didn't make that seem less true. 

The Bills did recently add Brandin Cooks, but both organizations could certainly be looking to find new receiving talent in the 2026 NFL Draft.

One player stands out as a possibility to be taken sometime after the first round: Bryce Lance.

He's the younger brother of former top-five QB pick Trey Lance.

Bryce plays at North Dakota State, too, and he has impressive physical traits.

"He keeps producing and just clipped 1,000 yards on the season with his fourth 100-plus-yard game two weeks ago against St. Thomas-Minnesota," ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. Wrote on Monday. "The 6-foot-3, 209-pounder is the younger brother of quarterback Trey Lance, and he's looking like a Day 2 pick. He's averaging 20.0 yards per catch, sells his routes well and uses his great body control to make tough catches in tight coverage along the sideline."

There are a lot of talented receivers in the upcoming class. 

If Buffalo and Pittsburgh want to target one in the first round, Ohio State's Carnell Tate will be a popular choice.

But if they want to wait, Bryce Lance might have the traits and talent to end up as one of the best WRs in his class at a slightly lesser price tag.
