Russell Wilson listed as Steelers’ starter
Russell Wilson is listed as Pittsburgh’s starting quarterback on their unofficial depth chart.
Fantasy Impact
The Steelers recently released their unofficial depth chart, and it featured Wilson in the QB1 spot. This has been the expectation over the course of the offseason so far, but it’s worth noting that Justin Field has been gaining a lot of momentum at training camp recently. For the time being, this is the 35-year old’s job to lose, and it looks like he’s trending towards being the starter for this team in Week 1.
