When asked if he will return to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025, quarterback Russell Wilson said, "that's the plan." Wilson also said he "loves it" in Pittsburgh, but the decision on whether he will return next season ultimately isn't his decision to make. After signing a one-year deal with Pittsburgh, the eight-time Pro Bowler got a late start to the 2024 campaign due to a lingering calf injury. He eventually took over the starting gig from Justin Fields and completed 63.7% of his 336 pass attempts for 2,482 yards, 16 touchdowns and five interceptions in 11 starts during the regular season. Wilson definitely gave the offense a spark, but the Steelers ran out of gas late and he just didn't have enough weapons through the air to make him a realistic QB1 option on a weekly basis. If the veteran QB returns to the Steel City, the Steelers should be looking to give him better weapons to work with.
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell drilled both of his extra-point attempts in a 28-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The team struggled to move the ball in the first half and found itself trailing by 21 at halftime, forcing Pittsburgh to be more aggressive with its decision-making in the second half. The Steelers scored two touchdowns in the third quarter, giving Boswell his only action of the contest on PATs. Despite a quiet conclusion to the campaign, it was a historic run for the 33-year-old, whose 41 field goals fell just three shy of David Akers' NFL record for single-season makes. Boswell is under contract through the 2026-2027 season and should be one of the first kickers off the board in fantasy drafts this coming fall.
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth logged three receptions for 15 yards on four targets in a Wild Card Round loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Freiermuth, who was incredibly productive to close the regular season, wasn't very involved on Saturday night as the Steelers struggled to move the ball for much of the contest. He was given an opportunity on Pittsburgh's first play from scrimmage but unfortunately dropped the pass. The fourth-year pro was signed to a lucrative extension in 2024 and will head into the 2025-2026 campaign as one of the team's featured pass-catchers. For fantasy purposes, Freiermuth's value going forward will largely depend on who is under center for the Steelers with Russell Wilson entering free agency this offseason.
