Michael Pittman Jr.'s already tough season with the Pittsburgh Steelers just got worse. The receiver with just 89 yards on the year with seven catches will now miss "multiple weeks" due to a foot issue that led to a reinjury at practice this week.
So what does that mean in fantasy football for who's next on the Steelers depth chart? The answer is: It's a big upgrade for Roman Wilson. The former Michigan wideout and third-round pick in 2024 has become a solid target for Aaron Rodgers as of late -- had 60 yards and a score in Week 3, followed by 74 and a tuddy in Week 4.
So it's possible that Wilson could see a bit more volume even though DK Metcalf will also get a boost, especially after the latter's five-catch, 115-yard game in Week 4.

There you have it. Go get Roman Wilson and see if he'll continue to get looks from Rodgers.
