Wilson

It continues to be a season to forget for Wilson, whose woes began with an ankle injury suffered in training camp. Now, the rookie will work to get past a hamstring injury that will sideline him for at least the next four games. Wilson has appeared in just one game this season and has not earned a target.

Wilson came into the league with some buzz on a team with no clear pass-catching options behind alpha wide receiver George Pickens and tight end Pat Freiermuth but has played just five offensive snaps all season while battling numerous injuries. He can safely be left on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues.

Wilson has been active in just one game this season, and he had just five offensive snaps against the Chargers. If you’re counting on a turnaround for Wilson to seize what looks to be an in-reach job in the Pittsburgh three-wide set, it looks like you’re going to have to keep counting.

Wilson managed just five snaps in his professional debut in Week 6 before departing with a hamstring injury, an ailment that will now hold him out of action again as the team faces the Jets on Sunday Night Football. Expect Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren to dominate backfield opportunities with Patterson sidelined.

Wilson was added to the injury report with the hamstring issue mid-week. He was limited in both Thursday and Friday’s practice. Healthy or not, Wilson is not on the fantasy radar for Week 7.

Wilson was a surprise addition to the team’s injury report. The rookie receiver has played in only one game this season, appearing on just five offensive snaps. We’ll see what kind of injury status he carries into the weekend, but there’s no fantasy upside to be had here at this time.

The Steelers have had troubles finding secondary options through the air behind George Pickens and Pat Freiermuth, making the likely season debut of Roman Wilson something of significance. Wilson fell to the Steelers in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, which is also notable considering the franchise’s high hit rate in pass-catching talent out of the draft. Fantasy managers in deep leagues could do worse than stashing the rookie for the time being.

Needless to say, third-round rookie Roman Wilson has lost any shot he had at potential 2024 re-draft relevance, while it bodes poorly for his long-term outlook that he can’t get on the field in this sorry group of Steelers receivers.

Wilson was removed from the team’s final injury report but won’t suit up for Sunday’s contest. The rookie third-rounder has yet to make his debut after battling through an ankle injury he suffered in training camp and was a full participant in Friday’s practice. It’s possible the Steelers are looking to see a few more practices out of him before thrusting him into live action. We’ll see where he stands come Week 4 when the Steelers take on the Colts.

Wilson was able to get in a full session after being limited Wednesday. The rookie wideout was also a full participant in last week’s Thursday practice, however, and he didn’t see the field. It still seems likely that Wilson is going to be available for Week 3, but there’s no guarantee of a significant role for that contest.
