Russell Wilson Injury History & Analysis

The Giants are signing QB Russell Wilson to a one-year deal. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that it's worth "up to" $21 million, with $10.5 million of that guaranteed.

Steelers WR George Pickens (hamstring) is out for Saturday's game vs. the Ravens. He remained sidelined in practice all week, leaving him uncertain for Week 17. TE Pat Freiermuth is the only member of Pittsburgh's passing game that should be in fantasy lineups this week.

Steelers WR George Pickens reportedly has a Grade 2 Hamstring strain and will likely miss next week's game against the Eagles. Pickens missed yesterday's game against the Browns as a game-time decision, but the injury appears to be more severe than describing this week.

Steelers QB Russell Wilson threw for a season-low 158 yards in Sunday's win over the Browns. He completed 15 of 26 attempts (57.7%), with 2 TDs and no INTs. Wilson took just 1 sack and didn't turn the ball over.

Steelers WR George Pickens (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Browns. Reports on his status for this one were positive this morning, but Pickens’ pregame workout must not have gone well. His absence leaves a huge hole in Pittsburgh’s passing game. Pickens has accounted for 24% of the team's targets, 24% of the receptions, 32% of the receiving yards, and 30% of the receiving TDs since QB Russell Wilson took over. WRs Calvin Austin, Van Jefferson, and Mike Williams could all pick up extra targets, along with TEs Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington. But we’ll also likely see the Steelers lean even more on the run game. Russell Wilson is not a recommended QB1 play with Pickens out.
