Roman Wilson's standout senior year at Michigan culminated in a 37% dominator rating, as he gathered 48 receptions for 789 yards and 12 touchdowns, marking it as the 6th-highest single-season dominator rating in the 2024 class. Despite concerns about his late breakout at 22 and only one significant year of production, Wilson's draft stock rose after impressing at the Senior Bowl and running a sub-4.40 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine. He has drawn comparisons to Tyler Lockett, reflecting his ability as a deep threat-53% of his routes were downfield. However, his fantasy outlook is tempered by joining a Pittsburgh Steelers offense, which is expected to lean heavily on the run under new OC Arthur Smith, coupled with their recent investments in the offensive line, casting some doubt on the volume of passing opportunities Wilson will receive.
