Draft note

by John Paulsen

The Broncos will be paying the vast majority of Russell Wilson's salary, so this is a low-risk signing for the Steelers. Wilson threw for 3,070 yards and 26 touchdowns against only eight interceptions in 15 games last season. George Pickens should benefit from Wilson's deep ball, though with new OC Arthur Smith designing the offense, it's likely to be a run-heavy attack. Wilson is an intriguing QB2/QB3 type but he’ll have to hold off Justin Fields.

Latest news

Steelers QB Russell Wilson questionable for Week 1

yesterday · 4:04 PM EDT

The Steelers officially list QB Russell Wilson (calf) as questionable for Sunday. Justin Fields took the first-team reps today.

Related Players: Justin Fields

Fantasy Impact:

While Wilson should remain on fantasy benches regardless of his status, keep an eye out for Fields, who offers a much better floor/ceiling combination because of his legs. He would be a top-15 option if he gets the nod.
