Who Should I Start? Jermaine Burton or Roman Wilson

For the second straight week to begin the 2025 season, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jermaine Burton is a healthy inactive for the Week 2 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Burton had a pretty rough rookie season in 2024 that involved some maturity issues, but he got rave reviews during training camp in the summer. For now, though, Charlie Jones is ahead of him as the team's WR4 behind Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Andrei Iosivas. The 24-year-old former third-rounder caught four passes for 107 yards on 14 targets in 14 games in his rookie season. Burton isn't anywhere close to the fantasy radar in redraft leagues right now.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson did not see the field much in the season opener and will hope for more involvement in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks. Wilson logged just 10 of a possible 56 offensive snaps in Week 1, well behind starting wideouts DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III. With Wilson competing alongside Ben Skowronek and Scotty Miller for the WR3 role, and Pittsburgh showing a willingness to utilize multiple tight ends, his path to meaningful opportunities remains narrow. As a second-year player who struggled to stay healthy as a rookie, Wilson may emerge at some point, but he should only be viewed as a stash in dynasty formats and cannot be considered in redraft lineups this week.
