Roman Wilson Could Fit Nicely With Aaron Rodgers

Friday, June 27, 8:52 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson excelled on in-breaking routes over the middle of the field in college at Michigan, which should fit quarterback Aaron Rodgers' skills nicely, according to The Athletic's Mike DeFabo. However, it remains to be seen if Wilson can stay healthy after dealing with multiple injuries in his rookie season and appearing in just one game. The Steelers are already saying that Calvin Austin III is their WR2 behind DK Metcalf, but the 24-year-old Wilson still will have more opportunities for playing time in 2025 now that George Pickens is gone. Pittsburgh is on record that they are counting on Wilson to take a jump in Year 2, although it's unclear exactly what that will mean right now. Wilson should mostly be a downfield threat, which was a weakness for Rodgers last year in New York. He's merely one to watch in most fantasy leagues for now.

Anthony Richardson Sr. Gets First-Team Reps on Saturday

Saturday, July 26, 7:44 PM

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. "was with the starters to begin 11-on-11 work" on Saturday, with Daniel Jones working with the second team. Both players will continue to compete for the starting job throughout training camp and into Week 1. However, it appears Richardson has the early edge, although that can certainly change moving forward. The signal-caller has struggled since entering the National Football League as the No. 4 overall selection in the 2023 draft, throwing for 2,391 yards, 11 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions while adding 111 carries for 635 yards and 10 scores. With that in mind, Richardson's durability is an issue, appearing in 15 regular-season games in his first two seasons, so he may need to rely more on his arm during the 2025 campaign. Unfortunately, he's completed only 50.6% of his throws, which could make that more difficult. At any rate, managers should monitor things in the weeks ahead, but it's safe to say neither player can be trusted fully to spearhead a fantasy team.
