Does anyone know what number receiver Ward is, as in starting position on the team?

2 I guess. Whenever there is only 1 WR in there it is almost always Wallace.

Here's the depth chart from the Steelers website:
http://www.steelers.com/team/depth-chart.html
1. Ward
2. Wallace
3. Sanders
4. Brown
5. ARE
6. Battle
The Steelers have an "official" depth chart....but it does not determine who is on the field. In fact, most teams dont have a true #1 reciever. The teams that do, have WR's with names like Andre Johnson...Larry Fitzgerald....Calvin Johnson....and Reggie Wayne.
What the Steelers do is designate an X and Y reciever on most plays...Wallace is usually the X and Ward is usually the Y. (The Z reciever is almost always a flanker or TE.) X recievers are generally the fast recievers and Y recievers are usually the stronger blockers.
There are some plays that would call for the only reciever on the field to be a Y (probably a run play) and some in which it is going to be the X reciever.
The #1, #2, #3 designation is usually more indicative of how often a WR is targeted....not where they play.
