Mike Tomlin Non-Committal On QB Position

According to Mike DeFabo of The Athletic, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is non-committal on the state of the Steelers quarterback room. DeFabo noted that when asked about the state of the position following their playoff loss, Tomlin declined to discuss the team's future. With both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields set to hit free agency, the Steelers will have several options on how to pencil in their QB1 entering the 2025 campaign. Wilson was battling a calf injury early in the season, allowing Field to start the first six games. Across these games, Fields performed well, averaging a strong 21.4 PPR points per game. Wilson then operated as the QB1 for the remainder of the season and led them to the playoffs. However, their playoff bid was cut short after losing 28-14 to their division rival Baltimore Ravens on Saturday evening. In this game, Wilson went 20-for-29 with 270 yards and two scores. Fantasy managers should continue closely monitoring this situation throughout the offseason as both Wilson and Fields flashed upside while starting under center.
