Roman Wilson DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver Roman Wilson (hamstring), who remains on the Physically Unable to Perform list, was officially ruled out on Thursday for the team's wild-card playoff game on Saturday night against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. Wilson has been practicing in full with the rest of the team since he was designated to return from the PUP list, but the Steelers are going to play it safe and keep the 23-year-old third-rounder out this weekend. It's unclear if Wilson will be activated to play if the Steelers advance past the Ravens to play in the Divisional Round next week. Wilson has been active for 10 games in his first year in the NFL but hasn't been targeted at all. Pittsburgh will move forward with George Pickens, Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin III as their wideouts in three-wide sets against Baltimore.

He was only able to play in one regular season game. He did not record any statistics in a Week 6 rout of the Las Vegas Raiders. Wilson is a talented rookie with excellent route-running ability and speed. He has the talent to be a legitimate No. 2 option opposite George Pickens. The Steelers are in desperate need of playmaking ability, and Wilson could provide that immediately. Wilson has been practicing with the team for the past couple of weeks. He was unable to play in the regular season finale, but he seems to be tracking to play in a huge Wild Card matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Of course, he will need to be activated from injured reserve in order to do so. Wilson would likely see limited snaps in this game, but his playmaking ability would allow him to do a lot with limited action.

He was a full participant in practice all last week, but Wilson remained sidelined for the regular season finale. However, it seems possible that Wilson could return to the field for Saturday's Wild-Card matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Wilson has been out since October, so the Steelers haven't been able to see what the rookie wideout can do. If active, Wilson would likely play a minimal role during Saturday's playoff game.
