Are the Pittsburgh Steelers Back? Russell Wilson’s Debut Fuels Fantasy Firepower
Heading into Week 7, sports media buzz surrounded Russell Wilson’s debut in Pittsburgh and the surprising benching of Justin Fields, who led the Steelers to a 4-2 record. Mike Tomlin’s decision to start Wilson appears to be paying off, as the offense exploded in Week 7.
Wilson showcased his talent, throwing for two touchdowns, rushing for another, and accumulating 264 passing yards. Wide receiver George Pickens thrived, hauling in five catches for 111 yards and a touchdown, thanks in part to Wilson’s signature “moon ball” throws. This performance earned Pickens his fourth-highest fantasy score ever (19.6 FP).
Running back Najee Harris continued his impressive streak, racking up over 100 rushing yards for the second consecutive game, a feat he’s only achieved once before in his career.
