NegativeRoleSep 14, 2026Behind the Steel Curtain
Roman Wilson seems to have a firm hold on the WR3 role at the moment and was more involved in the offense than usual in his Steelers career, with some flashes on Sunday. Jack Sawyer notes Wilson could have done more to solidify his status by holding onto a catchable contested pass right before halftime, and while there's definitely a good wide receiver to be found in Wilson, it remains to be seen if the Steelers will be able to unlock that this year.

Wilson was targeted by Rodgers multiple times with mixed results; he was part of a trick play with multiple handoffs that resulted in a quick route for a first down, sat down in the middle of the zone and got a first down on a pass from Rodgers, and took a touchdown shot working against Mike Hughes but Hughes managed to keep it from being complete; he also had a quick shot go for five yards and was missed on a deep shot working against Avieon Terrell.

Wilson was notably called out by Aaron Rodgers for a 'repeat mistake' in practice and the duo did not have much chemistry last season. He totaled just 12 receptions for 166 yards in an offense starved for consistent pass catchers, putting him on notice when second-round pick Germie Bernard was drafted in April. Despite being named the starter in the slot on McCarthy's depth charts, his role remains uncertain as Rodgers will be the arbiter of playing time.

Gemini AI projects Wilson as the biggest offensive disappointment. Aaron Rodgers has publicly called him out for repeating mistakes from a season in which he caught just 12 passes for 166 yards. Wilson drew scrutiny for execution errors on a pair of interceptions Will Howard threw against the New York Jets during preseason. Beyond social media posts about training camp performance, there is little sign of a breakout from the third-round pick entering his third season. Gemini AI assesses it as more likely than not that the Steelers will prefer Germie Bernard's size on the field whenever they have a choice.

Roman Wilson currently appears to have a firm hold on the No. 3 wide receiver role behind DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr., but that position could become increasingly competitive. Wilson has endured an inconsistent first two years, particularly with attention to detail and developing chemistry with Aaron Rodgers; there have been too many ugly moments for a receiver expected to become a meaningful part of Pittsburgh's passing game. The team drafted Germie Bernard in round two to compete for the slot spot, and Bernard has generated considerable buzz throughout preseason, representing the most obvious threat to Wilson's playing time if he cannot turn opportunities into consistent production.

Third-year receiver holds the No. 3 wide receiver role behind DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr., but his position is increasingly competitive. Inconsistent first two seasons marked by attention-to-detail issues and poor chemistry development with Aaron Rodgers have created vulnerability. Round-two pick Germie Bernard represents a direct threat to his playing time if Wilson cannot convert opportunities into consistent production. Against Atlanta, Wilson must demonstrate he can execute assignments, win routes, and avoid mental mistakes that erode quarterback trust.

Roman Wilson, entering his third pro season, has a far more limited path on the Steelers offense compared to rookie Germie Bernard. Wilson was generating camp buzz last summer but has yet to translate it to production in games. Aaron Rodgers, who is famously hard on his receivers, was frustrated with Wilson in 2025 and called out a 'repeat mistake' on a route in practice, saying 'That's a good learning — because I don't think he's going to do that again.' Wilson is a player who really needs to play in the slot to succeed, whereas Bernard is a far more versatile piece who can play all three receiver positions.

NegativeBustSep 9, 2026Behind the Steel Curtain
Third-year wide receiver with a limited path on the Steelers offense compared to second-round rookie Germie Bernard. Wilson barely has more on-field NFL experience than Bernard entering his third pro season. He was generating camp buzz last summer too, but the source notes it's fair to remain skeptical until production translates to games. Aaron Rodgers reportedly was frustrated with Wilson in 2025. Wilson is a player who really needs to play in the slot to succeed, whereas Bernard is a far more versatile piece who can play all three receiver positions. The source suggests Wilson's role on the team has a far more limited path regardless.

Aaron Rodgers expressed utmost confidence in Wilson despite a repeat route-running mistake in practice, emphasizing that Wilson 'is going to have to play a big role for us' in 2026. Rodgers noted Wilson has had a fantastic camp and gotten much better, contrasting sharply with Wilson's status as a healthy scratch in four of the last five regular season games in 2025. The growing bond between Rodgers and Wilson over the offseason suggests increased trust and playing time expectations.

Aaron Rodgers expressed utmost confidence in Wilson for a big role in the 2026 Steelers passing attack despite a repeat mistake in practice. Wilson was a healthy scratch in four of the last five regular season games in 2025, but Rodgers' strong endorsement after an impressive second training camp suggests the QB-receiver bond has grown significantly over the offseason and Wilson is expected to be a key contributor in what could be a more pass-heavy offense under new head coach Mike McCarthy.

PositiveRoleAug 31, 2026FantasyPros Articles
Wilson, the Steelers' third-round pick in 2024, is positioned to start the regular season as Pittsburgh's third receiver ahead of rookie second-round pick Germie Bernard. Wilson was held out of the Steelers' final preseason game along with other starters, and Steelers beat writer Mike DeFabo noted that Wilson had frequently taken first-team snaps ahead of Bernard during training camp. While there probably isn't a lot of fantasy value to the No. 3 receiver spot in Pittsburgh given the Steelers' conservative passing approach with 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers, Wilson is worth putting on your radar as a potential waiver option.
