The Read: Heidenreich is a true role-clarity test. He has the Navy usage background, Pittsburgh homecoming angle, explosive hybrid skill set, and special-teams runway to become more than a seventh-round trivia card. But fantasy value needs a real job. Is he a slot? A back? A fullback-plus weapon? A return/special-teams utility piece? The answer decides whether this is deep sicko gold or a cool football story with no weekly box-score pulse.

Risk ShapePosition ambiguity taxHybrid ability is only fantasy-useful if the team builds a lane. Otherwise versatility becomes a very fancy parking lot.
