News

  • Held without catch once again

    Wilson failed to secure his lone target during Sunday's 26-7 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Wilson had double-digit receiving yards in five of six appearances following the Steelers' Week 5 bye, but he's failed to secure any of his four targets over the past two games. Over his 12 appearances this season, Wilson has secured 12 of 21 targets for 166 yards and two touchdowns.

  • No catches in Week 12

    Wilson failed to secure either of his two targets during Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Bears.

    Analysis: Wilson had recorded at least one catch in each of his last six games, but he failed to establish a connection with quarterback Mason Rudolph in Chicago on Sunday. Wilson also was on the field for just 28 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps, which was his lowest mark since Week 6. He's shown some glimpses of production this season but hasn't been a very reliable fantasy option.

  • Racks up 17 yards in win

    Wilson secured one of two targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 34-12 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Wilson was on the field for 57 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps Sunday, marking just the second time this season that he's played more than half of the team's snaps. His uptick in playing time didn't lead to an increased target share, as he's seen two or fewer targets in eight of his 10 appearances to begin the season. Wilson's fantasy upside will likely remain limited moving forward, especially if Aaron Rodgers (wrist) is forced to miss time.

  • Catches garbage-time TD

    Wilson recorded two receptions on three targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Wilson's three targets were his second-highest mark of the season, though nearly the entirety of his production came in garbage time. He caught a pass from Aaron Rodgers over the middle before turning upfield for a 27-yard score with three minutes remaining in a three-score game to tally his second career touchdown. Wilson has shown occasional signs of progress this season, but he remains a peripheral part of the offense.

  • Limited workload in Week 9

    Wilson secured one of two targets for four yards during Sunday's 27-20 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Wilson was the Steelers' leading receiver against Green Bay in Week 8 with a season-high 74 yards and a touchdown, but he was held in check a week later. He was held to single-digit yards for the first time since Week 4 while playing 47 percent of the team's offensive snaps, which ranked third among Pittsburgh's wide receivers. Wilson showcased his upside Week 8, but he remains an unreliable fantasy option heading into the second half of the year, and it's possible that the Steelers target a…read more

  • Leading receiver on SNF

    Wilson corralled four of five targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-25 loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: Wilson waited for the return of fellow wideout Calvin Austin (shoulder) to deliver a standout fantasy performance after struggling in the two games replacing his teammate. The 24-year-old Wilson boosted his final line with a 21-yard touchdown grab in garbage time of Sunday's loss. Wilson hadn't topped 17 receiving yards in any of his previous six outings this year, so fantasy managers shouldn't overreact to what might end up being his best fantasy score of the season.

  • Two catches on TNF

    Wilson secured both of his targets for 17 yards during Thursday's 33-31 loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: Although Calvin Austin (shoulder) remained sidelined for a second consecutive game Thursday, Wilson didn't generate much production in the loss. Over the two games that Austin has missed, Wilson has secured all three of his targets for 29 yards, marking his most productive stretch of the season, but that hasn't been enough to garner much fantasy appeal.

  • Logs one reception in victory

    Wilson secured his lone target for 12 yards during Sunday's 23-9 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Wilson was on the field for 15 offensive snaps Sunday, which was his highest mark since the Steelers' Week 2 loss to Seattle. Part of his uptick in playing time was likely due to Calvin Austin (shoulder) being sidelined. Although Wilson had a catch while racking up double-digit receiving yards for the first time this season, he has minimal fantasy value, even if Austin misses more time.

  • Plays three offensive snaps

    Wilson wasn't targeted during Sunday's 24-21 win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: Wilson played double-digit offensive snaps in each of the Steelers' first two games of the season, but he's been held to single-digit snaps in his last two appearances. Although Calvin Austin sustained a shoulder injury during Sunday's overseas victory, he'll have time to recover during the Steelers' Week 5 bye, and Wilson seems unlikely to handle a fantasy-relevant role, especially if Austin is available against the Brown in Week 6.

  • Not targeted against New England

    Wilson wasn't targeted during Sunday's 21-14 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: Wilson was held without a target for the second time in the first three weeks of the regular season, and he was on the field for just 17 percent of the team's offensive snaps in Week 3. Although Wilson appears to be third on the Steelers' depth chart at wide receiver, he's unlikely to have a fantasy-relevant role as long as DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin stay healthy.

  • One reception in Week 2

    Wilson secured one of two targets for seven yards during Sunday's 31-17 loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: Although Wilson's workload remained low in Sunday's Week 2 loss, he recorded his first catch of the regular season and also saw a slight uptick in playing time, as he was on the field for 21 offensive snaps compared to 10 during last week's regular-season opener. He saw the third-highest snap count of any Steelers wide receiver, but he's unlikely to have a fantasy-relevant role as long as DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin stay healthy.

  • Not targeted in season opener

    Wilson wasn't targeted during the Steelers' 34-32 win over the Jets on Sunday.

    Analysis: Wilson had a minimal role for the Steelers when healthy in 2024, and he was utilized sparingly during Sunday's regular-season opener, playing just 10 offensive snaps in the Steelers' victory. The 2024 third-round pick has yet to be targeted in the NFL, and he could have trouble carving out much fantasy production in 2025 as long as DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin remain healthy.

  • Picks up 72 yards

    Wilson recorded two receptions on four targets for 72 yards in Saturday's 17-14 preseason loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Wilson got the chance to start with DK Metcalf resting and Calvin Austin (abdomen) sidelined, and he took advantage by creating a few splash plays. Wilson got behind the defense for a 42-yard gain down the middle of the field late in the first quarter and then got wide open on the next drive to tack on another 30 yards. Wilson failed to gain traction in the Steelers' offense as a rookie after battling a few lower-body injuries, but he appears to be getting on track heading into his sophomore…read more

  • Two catches in preseason opener

    Wilson recorded two catches on two targets for 24 yards in Saturday's 31-25 preseason win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Wilson is fighting for a role in Pittsburgh's offense after missing all of his rookie season with lower-body injuries. He's gotten mixed reviews during camp but came into the contest with some momentum, and that continued Saturday -- he recorded catches of 19 and five yards from Mason Rudolph. The Steelers are likely to use an unusual amount of two-tight end formations, leaving Wilson's role uncertain heading into the regular season.

  • Opens camp with starting offense

    Wilson opened training camp with the starting offense Thursday, Nick Farabaugh of Penn Live reports.

    Analysis: Wilson and DK Metcalf took the first reps in both 11 and 12 personnel, with Calvin Austin as the third receiver for three-wide sets (the same role he had last year). It's a sign the Steelers still have high hopes for Wilson, a 2024 third-round pick, after he was either injured or a healthy scratch for nearly all of his rookie season. In addition to Wilson and Austin, the competition for WR snaps behind Metcalf includes Robert Woods, Scotty Miller and Ben Skowronek.

  • Outlook improves with Pickens trade

    Wilson may compete for a starting job after the Steelers traded WR George Pickens to Dallas, Chris Adamski of TribLive.com reports.

    Analysis: Drafted 84th overall last spring, Wilson played just one game as a rookie, missing Week 1 with an ankle injury and Weeks 7-18 with a hamstring injury. In between, he was a healthy scratch four times and played just five snaps in his lone appearance, never truly getting a foot in the door. Steelers GM Omar Khan said in February that Wilson might have contributed in the playoffs had the team advanced beyond the first round, and it now seems he has a shot at the No. 2 WR role for his second pro…read more

  • Has GM's confidence

    Steelers general manager Omar Khan said Tuesday at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine that he has "a lot of confidence" in Wilson (hamstring), and that the wideout was on pace to contribute during the postseason had Pittsburgh advanced beyond the wild-card round, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Wilson, a 2024 third-round pick, was limited to a single regular-season appearance in his rookie campaign, but he at least now appears fully recovered from the hamstring issue that caused him to end the year on IR. He also missed time early in the season with an ankle injury sustained in training camp. If he can put together a strong offseason and remain at full health to enter the 2025 campaign, he could have a big role in Year 2. Wideouts Van Jefferson, Mike Williams and Ben Skowronek are all…read more

  • Rookie season spent on sidelines

    Wilson (hamstring) suited up for one regular-season game in 2024 for the Steelers, playing only five offensive snaps and not getting a target.

    Analysis: Wilson's season wasn't what was expected when he was selected in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, as the Michigan product suffered an ankle injury in training camp that derailed his season. Even after he recovered, Wilson was a healthy scratch in Week 3 through 5 before making his debut in Week 6 against the Raiders. A hamstring injury then landed him on injured reserve, which is where he ultimately finished the campaign.

  • Won't face Baltimore

    Wilson (hamstring) is ruled out for Saturday's road wild-card round matchup against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Wilson won't be activated from IR in time to suit up Saturday, though he has consistently practiced in full since having his 21-day window opened. For another chance at returning for postseason action, Wilson needs the Steelers to emerge victorious over Baltimore and advance to the divisional round.

  • Logs full practice to begin week

    Wilson (hamstring) was a full practice participant Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Wilson is still on IR, where he's been since late October. He was designated to return Dec. 31 and was a full practice participant all last week but was held out of Pittsburgh's Week 18 loss to Cincinnati. Wilson appears to be recovered from his hamstring injury, but Pittsburgh would need to activate him off IR in order for the depth receiver to be able to play in Saturday's wild-card contest in Baltimore.

  • Full-go in return to practice

    Wilson (hamstring) was a full participant in practice Tuesday after being designated to return from IR, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Wilson has been on injured reserve since Oct. 28, but he practiced without restrictions after being designated to return Tuesday. The rookie wideout could return to action in Week 18 or at some point in the postseason, though Pittsburgh would first need to activate him to the 53-man roster. The Steelers have a relatively healthy receiving corps at the moment, so they're likely in no rush to make a decision on Wilson.

  • Designated to return from IR

    The Steelers opened the 21-day-practice window for Wilson (hamstring) on Tuesday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

    Analysis: Wilson missed the beginning of the season with an ankle injury, then hurt his hamstring in his NFL debut Week 6 versus the Raiders. He was subsequently placed on IR, and he's been there since late October. It's been mostly a lost season for Pittsburgh's third-round selection in April's NFL Draft, though Wilson's return to practice means he could be activated ahead of Saturday's Week 18 game against Cincinnati or at some point during the playoffs.

  • Sent to injured reserve

    The Steelers placed Wilson (hamstring) on injured reserve Monday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The third-round rookie's 2024 has been marred by injuries, and he'll now miss at least the next four games. Wilson will first be eligible to return Week 13 against the Bengals. After missing a bunch of time over the summer and the first few weeks of the regular season with an ankle injury, Wilson made his NFL debut Week 6 and is injured again. The Steelers will continue to roll with George Pickens, Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin as their top three wideouts.

    Analysis: Wilson couldn't practice in any capacity leading up to Week 8 action, and he'll now miss yet another game to kick off what's been an injury-plagued rookie campaign. His only appearance so far this season came Week 6 versus the Raiders, when he played five offensive snaps but wasn't targeted.

    Wilson (hamstring) didn't practice Friday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Wilson has now logged back-to-back DNPs to begin Pittsburgh's week of practice, suggesting he's a longshot to play in Monday night's matchup against the Giants. The rookie will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation in Saturday's practice to have a chance at suiting up in Week 8. If Wilson can't move past his hamstring issue, expect Scotty Miller to see increased work with the Steelers' offense.

    Wilson (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on the Steelers' injury report Thursday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Wilson missed the first two games of the regular season due to an ankle injury and was a healthy scratch for the following three contests. He made his NFL debut in Week 6 against the Raiders, but he came out of that contest with a hamstring injury which forced him to sit out of the Steelers' Week 7 win over the Jets. Wilson will have two more chances to return to practice ahead of the Steelers' Week 8 matchup against the Giants on Monday.

He played just five snaps in the victory and may have sustained a hamstring injury at some point during Week 7 prep.

The Michigan product then popped up on Pittsburgh's injury report as a limited participant in practice both Thursday and Friday due to a hamstring issue, putting his Week 7 availability in jeopardy.

    Wilson didn't draw a target while playing just five of the Steelers' 67 offensive snaps in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Wilson made his NFL debut Week 6 after recovering from an ankle injury that caused him to miss the majority of training camp and the beginning of the 2024 campaign. The Steelers coaching staff decided to ease Wilson into action with a light snap count, but as the rookie from Michigan begins to get more acclimated, his playing time could increase.

However, the rookie is healthy now and still can't crack the Steelers' wideout rotation. George Pickens, Van Jefferson, Calvin Austin and Scotty Miller are Pittsburgh's only active wideouts for Week 4.

The ankle injury the rookie third-round pick suffered in training camp also prevented him from playing in any preseason action.

The rookie third-round pick suffered a left ankle sprain at the end of July, and at that time, he was viewed as week-to-week. Given that he's still sidelined, the rookie's status for the Sept. 8 regular-season opener in Atlanta is unclear. Once he's healthy, Wilson will look to secure a steady role in a Pittsburgh wideout corps headlined by George Pickens.

  • Sheds walking boot

    Wilson was spotted in training camp without a walking boot Sunday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

    Analysis: Wilson sprained his ankle during practice Tuesday and subsequently donned a walking boot, though doing so was deemed a precaution. Head coach Mike Tomlin indicated Thursday that the rookie wideout is expected to be sidelined multiple weeks, so he's unlikely to play in the team's first exhibition game Aug. 9. However, the fact that he's no longer wearing a boot (Saunders indicated that Wilson is wearing a wrap instead) is a positive sign that the receiver will be ready to play Week 1 of the…read more

  • Week-to-week

    Coach Mike Tomlin indicated Thursday that it may be multiple weeks before Wilson (ankle) returns to action, Alan Saunders of Steelersnow.com reports. "He's got an ankle sprain," Tomlin said of the rookie wideout. "It could be characterized as week-to-week at this juncture. We've got him walking around in a boot for precaution. I'll give you more information as he gets closer to help."

    Analysis: Wilson, whom the report notes is wearing a boot on his left ankle, thus appears to be on track to miss the Steelers' preseason opener, at a minimum. Once the 2024 third-rounder is able to return to practice, he'll resume competing with Van Jefferson, Calvin Austin and Quez Watkins for slotting behind the team's top WR, George Pickens.

  • Avoids serious injury

    Wilson (ankle) is expected to be ready for the start of the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: It sounds like Wilson should be considered week-to-week, as the Steelers will ease him back into the swing of things after he sustained an ankle injury in camp Tuesday. The 2024 third-rounder is expected to compete with the likes of Van Jefferson, Calvin Austin and Quez Watkins for reps at receiver behind George Pickens, but a lengthy absence could hurt Wilson's ability to build chemistry with Russell Wilson (calf) and Justin Fields.

  • Injures ankle Tuesday

    Wilson sustained an ankle injury during Tuesday's practice, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com, coach Mike Tomlin noted that Wilson is being evaluated to determine the severity of the issue and how much time he might miss. Once the 2024 third-rounder returns to the field, he'll continue to compete with Van Jefferson, Calvin Austin and Quez Watkins for slotting behind George Pickens.

  • Exits practice with possible injury

    Wilson left Tuesday's practice on a cart after he suffered an injury, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: It's not yet clear if the injury is considered serious or might impact Wilson's availability beyond the next few days. He's one of the many players competing for roles behind No. 1 receiver George Pickens, with the other top candidates to start being Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin. As a rookie third-round pick with 4.39 speed, Wilson offers the highest ceiling in the team's WR room besides Pickens in terms of both real-life and fantasy value.
