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 season. With 4.39 speed at 5-foot-11, 185 pounds, Wilson profiles as a perimeter receiver who runs a lot of downfield routes, which would make it difficult to get a lot of targets in an offense with DK Metcalf at wide receiver and run-first coordinator Arthur Smith calling plays.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Wilson's prospect profile offers a lot of similarities to fellow rookie Ladd McConkey's, though the two aren't necessarily similar stylistically on the field. Like McConkey, the Michigan man was a three-year starter who consistently had good numbers per-route and per-target but never had the opportunity to run a large number of routes in a season. Wilson put up 39-420-3 on 190 routes as a sophomore, 25-377-4 on 191 routes as a junior and 48-789-12 on 300 routes as a senior, averaging at least 10.1 YPT each year. His target rate lingered around 20 percent of routes each year, which is one potential red flag, though partially explained by running a lot of deep routes and sharing a field with other future NFL players. Wilson confirmed his athleticism at the 2024 Combine, where he ran a 4.39 40 at 5-11, 185 (but skipped the other drills). For the Steelers, he looks like a safe pick in the third round rather than an upside bid, considering he'll be 23 as a rookie and profiles best as a medium-volume field stretcher. Pittsburgh already has one deep threat in WR George Pickens, but starting a pair of downfield specialists could work out well in what figures to be a run-heavy offense under new coordinator Arthur Smith. New QB Russell Wilson is known for his accuracy on deep sideline throws much more so than working over the middle, so this could be a good fit for Wilson in terms of both playing time and per-target efficiency, though Pittsburgh's offense doesn't offer a great volume ceiling.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chance to carve out larger role
Wilson has a chance to earn a starting role in 2025 after the Steelers agreed to trade George Pickens to the Cowboys on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Pickens and DK Metcalf had been penciled in as starters on the outside, but the former's departure creates an opportunity for Wilson to grab the job. Wilson was limited to just one appearance in his rookie season by ankle and hamstring injuries, but the 84th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft has a higher ceiling than veteran wideouts Robert Woods and Scotty Miller, who are the primary alternatives to start on the outside, with 162-pound Calvin Austin likely limited primarily to slot duties.
