Player Notes
Nov 29 11:10am CT

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson was held without a catch last week and will look to be more involved against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Though Wilson has been quiet more often than not this season, it's worth noting that Mason Rudolph drew the start at quarterback in Week 12. With Aaron Rodgers (wrist) under center this week, Wilson's ceiling rises slightly, as the two have connected for two touchdowns this season. Still, the second-year pro has yet to carve out a reliable role in Pittsburgh's aerial attack, making him difficult to trust, especially in this matchup. Buffalo has held opposing wideouts to the 10th-fewest receptions and receiving yards in 2025. His involvement is worth monitoring, but Wilson can remain on waiver wires in all redraft formats heading into Week 13.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson failed to secure either of his targets in a Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears. After logging a 57% snap share in Week 11, the second-year pro took the field for just 28% of Pittsburgh's offensive snaps. Meanwhile, Calvin Austin III, whose playing time dipped the week prior, led the team in receiving with only 36 yards. There is still hope for Wilson down the stretch since no one in the Steelers' receiving corps has established consistent production. However, he's off the fantasy radar in redraft formats heading into a Week 13 meeting with the Buffalo Bills.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson has seen an uptick in playing time recently and could surprise against the Chicago Bears in Week 12. This is a great matchup for Wilson, with Chicago surrendering the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing receivers this season. It's unclear at this point if Aaron Rodgers (wrist) will be ready to play on Sunday, but it's worth noting that Wilson's lone reception in Week 11 came on a pass from backup quarterback Mason Rudolph. Although the second-year pro hasn't yet established himself as a consistent threat, he has been operating ahead of Calvin Austin III as Pittsburgh's WR2 and has flashed the talent to potentially break out down the stretch. He's not a viable option in the majority of redraft formats just yet, but Wilson can be viewed as a boom-or-bust flex play in deep leagues and an intriguing stash in dynasty.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson finished with just one reception for 17 yards on two targets in a Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Despite this modest output, Wilson's expanded role was an encouraging development. The second-year pro logged a 57% snap share, his second-highest mark of the season and his highest in games with Calvin Austin III active. Austin, who had previously operated as the team's clear WR2, played on just 29% of offensive snaps. It's unclear if this utilization will stick, but Wilson has looked like the better player since Austin's return from a shoulder injury. Although Wilson still isn't a viable fantasy starter, his usage is worth monitoring as the Steelers head into a Week 12 meeting with the Chicago Bears.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson scored the team's only touchdown in Week 10 and could find more ways to contribute against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. Offensive coordinator Arthur Smith acknowledged Wilson's recent impact this week, noting that the second-year pro is "starting to show signs of his role increasing." With Pittsburgh still searching for a consistent WR2 behind DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III struggling, it's very possible Wilson earns more opportunities moving forward. Although this is an enticing matchup with a high projected point total, Wilson's limited involvement so far keeps him off the fantasy radar in most formats. That said, he's an intriguing deep-league stash and a name to monitor on Sunday.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson hauled in two of his three targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in a Week 10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Though he logged just a 35% snap share, Wilson tied DK Metcalf to lead the team in receiving on a forgettable night for Pittsburgh's offense. It's also worth noting that fellow receiver Calvin Austin III struggled with drops and caused an interception in the fourth quarter. Going forward, it wouldn't be shocking to see Wilson earn more playing time. It is clear that the Steelers need another weapon to step up for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and Wilson has flashed upside with two scores in the past three weeks. He shouldn't be considered a viable option in most redraft formats, but Wilson could surprise this week against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson hasn't seen much involvement in the offense in recent weeks. Last week, Wilson hauled in one of his two targets for four yards in the win over the Indianapolis Colts. It has been a bust of a season for Wilson outside of his 74-yard performance in Week 8. The 24-year-old seems to have decent potential, but doesn't see enough targets at the moment. He won't be a viable streaming option until the Steelers decide to get him more involved. Wilson is worth stashing in dynasty leagues, but isn't a recommended streaming option for Week 10.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson posted a dud during last week's win over the Indianapolis Colts Wilson hauled in one pass for four yards and fumbled the ball. The fact that happened could be why Wilson only saw two targets during the entire game. The week prior, Wilson hauled in four receptions for 74 yards and a touchdown. Despite being the third wideout in this offense, Wilson hasn't touched the ball much outside of his big game in Week 8. The 24-year-old does have potential, but isn't a streaming option until the Steelers are getting him more involved.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson caught four of his five targets for 74 yards and his first career touchdown in Sunday night's loss to the Green Bay Packers. Wilson has been earning trust from his quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, saying in a press interview that he told Wilson that "this is going to be your week" last Wednesday ahead of their Week 8 matchup. The 24-year-old led the Steelers in receiving and was third in targets behind Calvin Austin III and D.K. Metcalf. There have been plenty of rumors regarding the Steelers trading for a wide receiver ahead of the deadline on November 4th, which would obviously impact Wilson's outlook. Wilson could still potentially emerge over the second half of the season as a second-year player with day two draft capital out of Michigan. He is a player to put on the watch list for now and see how he performs in Week 9 against the Colts.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson had his best game of the season in Sunday night's loss to the visiting Green Bay Packers in Week 8, catching four of his five targets for a season-high 74 yards and his first touchdown of the year. Wilson's 74 receiving yards on the night led the team, even with Calvin Austin III returning from a multi-game absence due to a shoulder injury. Austin caught four of his six targets for only 28 yards. The 24-year-old's touchdown grab was a 24-yard connection with quarterback Aaron Rodgers late in the game with the Packers already comfortably ahead. Fantasy managers may be looking at adding Wilson this week off the waiver wire, but with Austin now back and Rodgers spreading the ball around outside of DK Metcalf, Wilson will probably be a long shot to produce numbers like this every week moving forward. He had not topped 17 receiving yards in any game going into Sunday night against Green Bay.

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith said there could be more opportunities for Roman Wilson and the team's other receivers going forward, depending on the health of Calvin Austin III (shoulder), who left the Week 4 win over the Minnesota Vikings in Ireland with a shoulder injury. Wilson had played at least 17% of the offensive snaps in the first three weeks of the season, but that number fell to 6% in Sunday's win over Minnesota. The 24-year-old hasn't been targeted in three of four games this year, catching one of his two targets for seven yards in the Week 2 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Pittsburgh has its bye in Week 5, so it's entirely possible that Austin will be ready to go in Week 6 against the division-rival Cleveland Browns, thus relegating Wilson to a low-volume role yet again.

Sep 12 10:30pm CT

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson did not see the field much in the season opener and will hope for more involvement in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks. Wilson logged just 10 of a possible 56 offensive snaps in Week 1, well behind starting wideouts DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III. With Wilson competing alongside Ben Skowronek and Scotty Miller for the WR3 role, and Pittsburgh showing a willingness to utilize multiple tight ends, his path to meaningful opportunities remains narrow. As a second-year player who struggled to stay healthy as a rookie, Wilson may emerge at some point, but he should only be viewed as a stash in dynasty formats and cannot be considered in redraft lineups this week.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson was sidelined for most of his rookie season but will look to make a name for himself in year two, starting with a road matchup against the New York Jets. Wilson should see some playing time, though his role is rather uncertain despite Pittsburgh's lack of proven pass-catchers. Between Wilson, Calvin Austin III, and Scotty Miller, someone should emerge as the team's WR2 behind DK Metcalf, but it may take time for quarterback Aaron Rodgers to build chemistry with his new weapons. Austin is currently listed as a starter on the depth chart, likely delegating Wilson to a depth role to begin the campaign. He's not yet on the fantasy radar, but as a 2024 day-two pick who flashed this preseason, Wilson's usage in Week 1 is worth monitoring in deeper formats.

Dynasty | Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson caught two passes for 72 yards in Pittsburgh's second preseason game. Dynasty Analysis: Wilson had a lost season in 2024 but looks like a player ready to take a leap this season. While DK Metcalf will undoubtedly soak up most of the targets this season, Wilson is competing with Calvin Austin, Robert Woods, Pat Freiermuth, Jonnu Smith and a whole host of others to be next in line. The "buy low" window for Wilson may be closing here very soon in dynasty leagues.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson finished with two receptions for 72 yards on four targets in a 17-14 preseason loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The second-year pro did all of his damage in the contest's opening quarter. He ran past multiple defenders to secure a 42-yard deep ball from Mason Rudolph and later found space on a crossing route to gain 30 yards on a pass from Skylar Thompson. After a rookie season plagued by injuries, Wilson has shown promise heading into the 2025-2026 campaign. With teammate Calvin Austin III (abdomen) currently injured, Wilson has a clear path to earning the WR2 role behind D.K. Metcalf. The 24-year-old will look to build on this strong performance in Pittsburgh's final exhibition game against the Carolina Panthers.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson finished with two receptions for 24 yards on two targets in a 31-25 preseason win against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Wilson took the field with Pittsburgh's first-team offense on Saturday and commanded looks from quarterback Mason Rudolph. The second-year pro is in line for a big opportunity in 2025 after missing nearly all of his rookie season due to ankle and hamstring injuries. While newly-acquired wideout D.K. Metcalf is clearly entrenched as the team's primary pass-catcher, Wilson could certainly carve out a role for himself in an otherwise thin wide receiver room that includes Calvin Austin III, Robert Woods, and Scotty Miller. He'll hope to further showcase his abilities in next week's exhibition bout with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Penn Live's Nick Farabaugh reports that Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson is starting in three-wide sets with the first-team offense alongside DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III to start training camp practice this week. Wilson, a third-rounder (84th overall) last year out of Michigan, missed the majority of his first season in the NFL due to injury and was active for just one game. With George Pickens in Dallas, there's plenty of opportunity for Wilson to make a statement in what will essentially be his first year in the league. Behind Wilson and Austin, the Steelers have only veteran Robert Woods, Scotty Miller and Ben Skowronek -- not exactly the most threatening competition. Wilson will have opportunity, but as a speedy deep threat across from Metcalf, it might be hard for him to stand out on a weekly basis.
