Who Should I Start? Roman Wilson or Isaac TeSlaa

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson finished with two receptions for 72 yards on four targets in a 17-14 preseason loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The second-year pro did all of his damage in the contest's opening quarter. He ran past multiple defenders to secure a 42-yard deep ball from Mason Rudolph and later found space on a crossing route to gain 30 yards on a pass from Skylar Thompson. After a rookie season plagued by injuries, Wilson has shown promise heading into the 2025-2026 campaign. With teammate Calvin Austin III (abdomen) currently injured, Wilson has a clear path to earning the WR2 role behind D.K. Metcalf. The 24-year-old will look to build on this strong performance in Pittsburgh's final exhibition game against the Carolina Panthers.

Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (illness) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor TeSlaa's status during Friday's session, as he was also limited during Wednesday's practice. During the preseason, the Arkansas product flashed upside and was able to make a strong case to open the regular season in a starting role. In addition, the Lions also traded veteran wideout Tim Patrick to the Jacksonville Jaguars, which opened a spot on the depth chart for TeSlaa to operate as the team's No. 3 wideout. If TeSlaa can turn the corner during Friday's session, he could be worth a look as a high-risk WR3 in deeper formats. However, he is best off leaving on the bench in shallower leagues as he will be competing for targets alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.
