Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Deshaun Watson

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.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles) has been throwing to receivers Jerry Jeudy and David Bell at the team's facility and has been out of his walking boot for several weeks, a league source told The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot. However, Watson is not part of the offseason QB competition among Kenny Pickett, Joe Flacco and rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. The 29-year-old Watson had a second surgery on his Achilles back on Jan. 9 and is not expected to be ready to play at the start of the 2025 season this fall. In fact, he's widely expected to miss all of the 2025 campaign, with many believing that he's already played his last game for the Browns. Still, Watson has made "excellent progress" in his recovery from a torn right Achilles that he suffered last season. But given his injury and his off-field drama, Watson's NFL future remains very murky.
