Week 9 of the 2025 NFL season rolls on and the action will continue with an AFC showdown featuring the Indianapolis Colts visiting the Pittsburgh Steelers at 1 p.m. ET on CBS.

The Steelers have dropped straight games and were unable to maintain their second-half lead in a 35-25 loss to the Packers last Sunday night. Wide receiver Roman Wilson at least crossed off a career milestone in the setback as he’s gradually been getting more reps over the past few weeks.

Below, we’ll go over Wilson’s outlook in fantasy football for Week 9.

Fantasy Football analysis: Steelers WR Roman Wilson

Wilson caught four of five targets for 74 yards and his first career touchdown in last Sunday’s loss to the Packers. It was the best performance the second-year wideout from Michigan has had to date and the team is starting to incorporate him in the offense more as they enter the middle stretch of the regular season. He’s been on the field for at least 46% of the offensive snaps in each of the last two weeks, so we’ll see if his usage rate rises in this contest.

Start or sit in Week 9 PPR leagues?

Sit. I’m not quite there on giving Wilson a start just yet as I need to see more production out of the wideout before I trust him as a viable fantasy commodity. He is rostered in less than 2% of fantasy leagues at the moment, so he is someone to look out for in next week’s waiver wire.

Start or sit in Week 9 Standard leagues?

Sit.
