Steelers HC Mike Tomlin Non-Commital on Wilson or Fields Returning as Starter

Writer's picture: Upper Hand StaffUpper Hand Staff

Both Steelers quarterbacks, despite simply managing the game for the team when they were on the field this season, were relatively dependable in terms of their fantasy production: Fields averaged 18.9 points per game across his six starts to open the year, while Wilson averaged 16.8 across eleven starts to close the season out. With the Steelers going one-and-done again in the playoffs, though, and with neither quarterback under contract for the 2025 season, things could look drastically different potentially by the next time we see Pittsburgh on the field. Should the Steelers hold onto Justin Fields and let Wilson walk – as well as neglect to add any notable signal-callers via free agency/the draft (not a guarantee) – Fields would likely profile as a low-end QB1 by the time 2025 rolls around. It’s hard to imagine the Steelers re-upping with Wilson after the offense fizzled out without George Pickens over the last few weeks of the season, so there’s a chance there could be a market fro Wilson, as well, if he wouldn’t be retained by Pittsburgh. At any rate, uncertainty under center could spell trouble for George Pickens, and after a relatively disappointing season for him, his dynasty stock price could be approaching the buy threshold if it dips low enough.
