Roman Wilson 2025 Outlook: Opportunities Ahead For The Second-Year Receiver?
When a rookie wide receiver doesn't produce in year one, the odds of him becoming a fantasy asset are extremely low. Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson could be one of the rare exceptions. The 2024 third-round pick sprained his ankle in training camp last season. He played five snaps in Week 6 upon his return. Before the month ended, he injured his hamstring and didn't see the field again. Media reports and statements from general manager Omar Khan point to the Steelers relying more on Wilson in year two. While George Pickens was dealt to Dallas, DK Metcalf takes over the alpha role. Calvin Austin III and Robert Woods are other target competitors. Woods will see some playing time as a blocker, but his talents have declined since his prime Los Angeles days. If Wilson gets the opportunity, it's a murky quarterback situation. Mason Rudolph is the favorite to start Week 1. He turned the ball over once for every touchdown he scored in Tennessee last season. If Aaron Rodgers joins the team, then it's a different conversation. Regardless, Wilson is a late-round dart throw in fantasy drafts, with the hope that he claims the second wide receiver role.
