Rest-of-Season Outlook and Availability
Outlook
The 2026 setup is mixed: he sits second on the Pittsburgh chart behind DK Metcalf, with Aaron Rodgers under center, but a low 4 percent target share leaves him reliant on a usage jump to matter weekly. He is a late-round dart and dynasty stash with real big-play juice, but until the target volume climbs he is a bench piece, not a startable flex in redraft. Behind him on the depth chart: Kaden Wetjen. Full outlook

Roman Wilson Rest-of-Season Outlook
WR1 every week
WR2 through Week 4 · 11.2 PPG
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR122 last season at 3.0 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 4 games he's WR2 at 11.2 PPR points per game, against 3.0 over 13 games last season (WR122). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 113th of 142 in target volume (4.0% target share), 93rd of 142 in downfield role (8.4% air-yards share) and 102nd of 142 in efficiency (1.08 yards per route run). Target volume is the soft spot. Aaron Rodgers is his quarterback.
The job is secure: he's the listed starter and one of the best at his position. The main risk is health, and Kaden Wetjen is next on the depth chart if he misses time.
The next favorable matchup is the Colts in Week 5 (9th against WRs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Wilson's first real action came in 2025: nine games, a modest 33.1 percent snap share, 154 routes, and 21 targets converted into 12 catches for 166 yards and two scores, good for 26.6 points and a WR127 finish. The efficiency was intriguing despite the thin volume, a 0.194 EPA per play, 1.08 yards per route, 13.19 air yards per target, and three catches of 20-plus including a 45-yard long, hinting at the field-stretching role the 2024 third-rounder (pick 84, Michigan) was drafted to fill. Availability remains the flag, with just seven games per year over two seasons.
The 2026 setup is mixed: he sits second on the Pittsburgh chart behind DK Metcalf, with Aaron Rodgers under center, but a low 4 percent target share leaves him reliant on a usage jump to matter weekly. He is a late-round dart and dynasty stash with real big-play juice, but until the target volume climbs he is a bench piece, not a startable flex in redraft.

Roman Wilson Fantasy Outlook FAQ
What is Roman Wilson's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?
Roman Wilson projects as a wR1 every week for the rest of the 2026 season: a weekly starter in 12-team PPR, 10-team PPR and half-PPR leagues. His target volume (4.0% target share, 113th of 142 WRs in 2025) holds him back. See his live rank in Redraft Command.

What is Roman Wilson's projected role going forward?
Roman Wilson is the listed starting WR, with Kaden Wetjen next on the depth chart. Nothing on the chart threatens the job, so the role is his to lose on performance.
Will Roman Wilson get more targets?
Roman Wilson's targets are holding steady: 6.0 a game over his last two games against 6.0 for the season. His share of the offense is what his fantasy value rides on.
What is Roman Wilson's fantasy football upside?
Roman Wilson's upside: his ceiling this season is 16.4 PPR points (Week 4, WR2) and the Colts in Week 5 is a top-10 matchup for WRs.
What could hurt Roman Wilson's fantasy value?
Roman Wilson's risks: Kaden Wetjen is next on the depth chart if he is benched or hurt, his target volume (4.0% target share, 113th of 142 WRs in 2025) limits his scoring and the Buccaneers in Week 6 and the Saints in Week 7 are tough matchups. See his injury status and history.
How difficult is Roman Wilson's remaining fantasy schedule?
Difficult: of his next seven games, 1 comes against a top-10 matchup for WRs and 3 against one of the stingiest defenses, by PPR points allowed to the position.

Sustained a high ankle sprain during the first padded practice of training camp, causing him to miss the remainder of camp, the preseason, and the first five regular season games.
If Wilson Misses Time
Next man up: Kaden Wetjen
Kaden Wetjen is next on the Steelers depth chart at wide receiver. The targets would likely spread across the offense rather than pass to one player, so he's a waiver add only if Wilson misses time.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Aaron Rodgers would lose one of his main options.
