🏈 Fantasy impact

Wilson’s absence opens opportunities in the Steelers’ receiver room. Germie Bernard is the primary beneficiary, with 27.4 PPR points and 20 targets this season, and is worth a speculative add in deeper leagues. Kaden Wetjen has no production this year and remains a depth option. Managers should monitor DK Metcalf’s illness status, as his potential absence could further boost Bernard’s involvement. Wilson can be dropped in redraft leagues given the minimum four-week absence.
