2024 Fantasy Outlook
Wilson’s second year in Denver went better than the first but not well enough to avoid getting benched late in the season and then released in March with a record $85 million dead-cap charge. He quickly signed with the Steelers, who later traded for Justin Fields. Wilson is in “pole position” to start, according to coach Mike Tomlin, and the 35-year-old would help himself if he just got the ball out quicker. Only Fields (3.23) took longer to throw than Wilson’s 3.06-second average last year, as he, again, stubbornly waited for downfield opportunities before repeatedly taking sacks or settling for check downs. Wilson ranked third in the NFL with 12.6 percent of his attempts traveling at least 20 yards and second with 26.2 percent at or behind the line of scrimmage, leading the league in RB screens for the second consecutive year. It amounted to a 6.9 YPA (22nd) on a 7.1-yard average target depth (25th) -- both career lows. Perhaps in Pittsburgh he’ll stop hunting for home runs and be content with drive-moving completions -- he was second in completion percentage (65.5) on attempts of 10-19 yards last season but simply didn't have many of those passes. The Steelers have a pair of quality targets in WR George Pickens and TE Pat Freiermuth, but they otherwise seem to be counting on unimpressive Van Jefferson and/or third-round rookie Roman Wilson. Pittsburgh figures to be run-heavy anyway with new OC Arthur Smith taking over an offense featuring RBs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren. It's a situation in which Wilson is unlikely to put up big fantasy numbers even if he stabilizes the team's offense. Read Past Outlooks

Chance of playing Sunday 'very slim'
Wilson (calf) is still hoping to play Sunday against Atlanta, but sources indicate that his likelihood of doing so is "very slim," according to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
ANALYSIS
Wilson is officially listed as questionable for the contest, but this report creates considerable pessimism about the veteran quarterback's chance of making his regular-season Steelers debut in Week 1. Wilson reported experiencing tightness in his calf Thursday and was limited in practice both that day and Friday. He's slated to undergo continued treatment Saturday night and Sunday morning, and how he responds could ultimately determine whether Wilson is able to suit up against the Falcons. If he does end up missing the contest, Justin Fields is in line to take over as the starter in what would be his first regular-season action for Pittsburgh.

Given the keys to the kitchen last year, Wilson flamed out in shocking fashion. Coach Nathaniel Hackett was fired before the year was over, and Wilson struggled through a career-worst season defined by poor decisions, missed throws and a lack of timing. The result was career lows in a number of stats, including TD passes and completion percentage. The passing game boiled down to chucking it deep or dumping it off -- Wilson led the league in both percentage of attempts targeting go routes and percentage of attempts targeting RB screens. His league-high 80 attempts of 20-plus yards accomplished little (6 TD, 5 INT), other than contributing to a league- and career-high 55 sacks as he waited for routes to develop -- even though he ranked just 15th in pressure rate. To the rescue is former Saints coach Sean Payton, whose proven scheme should offer Wilson more high-percentage throws and more of the field. Wilson also stands to benefit from simple regression in the red zone, where last year his TD pass percentage was a mere 15.6, 32nd in the league. Javonte Willams (knee) is uncertain, but Payton aimed to re-make the running game -- and take some heat off Wilson -- by signing blockers OT Mike McGlinchey, OG Ben Power, TE Chris Manhertz and FB Michael Burton, and running back Samaje Perine. The Broncos also used their first pick in the draft on WR Marvin Mims, who has 4.38 speed.The conditions are present for a bounce back in a career-defining year for Wilson.

Uncertain for Week 1
Wilson is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Falcons due to a calf injury, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was named the starting quarterback back on Aug. 28, but he may once again be ceding the duties to Justin Fields as a result of his troublesome calf. That was also the case to open training camp, and Fields ended up impressing while getting an extended opportunity to practice with the first-team offense during that time. Wilson aggravated the calf injury during an early individual period of Thursday's practice, and his availability against Atlanta may come down to a game-time decision.
