Who Should I Start? Roman Wilson or Bub Means

Thursday, January 9, 5:46 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver Roman Wilson (hamstring), who remains on the Physically Unable to Perform list, was officially ruled out on Thursday for the team's wild-card playoff game on Saturday night against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. Wilson has been practicing in full with the rest of the team since he was designated to return from the PUP list, but the Steelers are going to play it safe and keep the 23-year-old third-rounder out this weekend. It's unclear if Wilson will be activated to play if the Steelers advance past the Ravens to play in the Divisional Round next week. Wilson has been active for 10 games in his first year in the NFL but hasn't been targeted at all. Pittsburgh will move forward with George Pickens, Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin III as their wideouts in three-wide sets against Baltimore.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Bub Means (ankle) said that he was cleared from his ankle injury in late January and is back to full speed as he prepares for his sophomore season in 2025. Means suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 8 and then had a setback that cost him the final nine games in the second half. The 24-year-old fifth-round pick (170th overall) caught nine of his 15 targets for 118 yards (13.1 yards per reception) and one touchdown in his seven games played (one start) in his first year in the NFL for the Saints. The Pittsburgh product emerged as an intriguing downfield threat for New Orleans in his rookie season and won't be hindered by his ankle this offseason as he prepares for what will hopefully be a bigger role in 2025. Means will most likely be a boom/bust receiver for fantasy purposes for a Saints team that still hasn't settled on a new head coach.
