Who Should I Start? Tim Patrick or Roman Wilson

The Jacksonville Jaguars have acquired veteran wide receiver Tim Patrick from the Detroit Lions in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The 31-year-old recorded 33 catches for 394 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games with Detroit last year. The Lions' decision to move on from Patrick signals an internal belief in third-round rookie Isaac TeSlaa, who was a standout performer in the preseason. In Jacksonville, Patrick will likely step into the team's WR3 role next to Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter. He should remain off the radar of fantasy managers.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson had his best game of the season in Sunday night's loss to the visiting Green Bay Packers in Week 8, catching four of his five targets for a season-high 74 yards and his first touchdown of the year. Wilson's 74 receiving yards on the night led the team, even with Calvin Austin III returning from a multi-game absence due to a shoulder injury. Austin caught four of his six targets for only 28 yards. The 24-year-old's touchdown grab was a 24-yard connection with quarterback Aaron Rodgers late in the game with the Packers already comfortably ahead. Fantasy managers may be looking at adding Wilson this week off the waiver wire, but with Austin now back and Rodgers spreading the ball around outside of DK Metcalf, Wilson will probably be a long shot to produce numbers like this every week moving forward. He had not topped 17 receiving yards in any game going into Sunday night against Green Bay.
