QB Russell Wilson announced as Steelers Week 1 starter

Aug 28, 2024

Steelers have made their decision and Russell Wilson will be the starter for Week 1.

Fantasy Impact:

And the crowd goes mild. Wilson should only be considered in deep Superflex/2QB leagues, and there's no telling if he'll keep the job throughout the entirety of the season.

Browns plan to sign free agent running back Royce Freeman to the practice squad.

Fantasy Impact:

Freeman did pretty well when he saw action with the Rams toward the end of last season. He was with Dallas this summer where he drew some hype, and for about a week the team had us convinced he may see significant action for the Cowboys. However, he was eventually released.

Packers are placing rookie RB MarShawn Lloyd on injured reserve due to an ankle injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Lloyd dealt with a hamstring injury leading up to the season and has now injured his ankle enough to be placed on IR, and he'll miss the next four games. The team did sign Brooks from their practice squad but Wilson looks to be the backup to Jacobs.
