Roman Wilson Produces Despite Limited Role Against Browns

Friday, October 2, 5:09 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson hauled in three of six targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in the 27-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Despite the Steelers' first-half offensive struggles, Wilson was a bright spot, including a 12-yard touchdown on the opening drive and a 49-yard reception that set up a Chris Boswell field goal. While Wilson was productive on Thursday night, he played just 31% of snaps and 40% of routes, ranking fourth among Pittsburgh's wideouts in both categories. Michael Pittman Jr. continues to struggle with penalties and drops, which could open a role for the third-year receiver. Until we see a noticeable change in the rotation, Wilson is at best a deep stash in fantasy leagues.

Jaylin Noel News

Jaylin Noel Is a Deep-League Sleeper vs. Indianapolis

Saturday, September 26, 3:35 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Jaylin Noel earned some hype this week from QB C.J. Stroud, and the second-year receiver will get another chance to step up in Week 3 against the Colts with Nico Collins (hamstring) unable to return yet. While he didn't go off last week, his targets and snap share increased. He finished with just one catch on five targets for 31 yards and an additional 13-yard rush. He played the third-most snaps at receiver and remains a threat both on deep shots and catch-and-run chances. He has a good matchup against the Colts, who have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to WR this season and have been especially vulnerable against slot receivers, where Noel did a lot of work last week. He's still a boom-or-bust, high-risk play, which is why he's only RotoBaller's WR83 this week, but he does bring some upside if you're desperate for a plug-and-play option in deep leagues or looking for DFS bargain production.
