Russell Wilson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson (calf) is inactive for Sunday's meeting with the Cowboys. However, he will be available in case of an emergency. The signal-caller has made progress in his return from a calf injury. But for another week (at least), Justin Fields will remain under center. The 25-year-old got off to a slow start this season. Yet, he's coming off a stellar showing, throwing for 312 yards and accounting for three scores (one passing, two rushing) in the Week 4 loss to the Colts, making him worthy of a spot in most fantasy lineups.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Wilson has been sidelined all season with a calf injury but has begun to ramp up his activity during practice this week. Through the early part of the season, Wilson has served as the emergency QB, while Kyle Allen has operated as the true backup to Justin Fields. However, seeing his progression during practice, the 35-year-old could be on his way to making his Steeler debut. Fantasy managers should expect Justin Fields to continue operating as the QB1 for now. Wilson is worth stashing in deeper superflex formats, as he could get an opportunity later in the season.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson (calf) was able to get through a limited practice session on Thursday. This is back-to-back limited practices for Wilson as he ramps up his football activities. The organization is hopeful that Wilson will be cleared to return to game action soon. Justin Fields has already been named the starter for the Week 5 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Fields has been a viable option for the Steelers, so it seems unlikely Wilson would take over even if he's healthy. Fantasy managers can leave Wilson on the waiver wire until further notice.
