Latest
Wilson hurt his finger fighting for a catch late in the second quarter of Pittsburgh’s Oct. 11 game against Indianapolis, and the Steelers have ruled him out of Week 6 against Tampa Bay. ESPN reported he could miss at least a couple of weeks. A 2024 ankle and hamstring wiped out most of his rookie year.
He played 55% of the snaps and drew six targets in the Week 1 win over Atlanta, per Sports Illustrated, and had stepped into the No. 2 receiver role whenever Michael Pittman Jr. (now on injured reserve) was out.
Fantasy Action: Wilson is a waiver stash at best while he’s out with the finger injury; Germie Bernard has taken over the No. 2 receiver role in his and Pittman’s absence.
