Who Should I Start? Roman Wilson or Jalen Royals

Sunday, January 4, 7:28 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the Baltimore Ravens. With a playoff berth on the line, Wilson is a healthy scratch. The 24-year-old has played just nine snaps over the last four weeks, and he'll add another goose egg this week. He finishes the regular season with just 12 catches, 166 yards, and a pair of touchdowns. With Wilson inactive and DK Metcalf suspended, Pittsburgh will rely on a wide receiver room featuring Calvin Austin III, Adam Thielen, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Ben Skowronek, and Scotty Miller.

Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Jalen Royals missed the first two games of the 2025 season with a knee injury. He's been active in each of the team's last three games, but Royals has not yet been targeted by Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The 22-year-old appears buried on Kansas City's wide receiver depth chart behind Xavier Worthy, Marquise Brown, Tyquan Thornton, and JuJu Smith-Schuster. Royals could fall down the depth chart even further in Week 7 when top Chiefs wideout Rashee Rice is eligible to return from suspension. Royals maintains some appeal in dynasty leagues, but he should remain off the radar of redraft fantasy managers for the time being.
