Two fumble recoveries in win
Wilson recorded three tackles (one solo) and two fumble recoveries in Sunday's 44-38 win over the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Wilson didn't have the most productive day in terms of tackles, but he did finish off a pair of highlight plays for the Steelers' defense. He recovered a fumble in the second quarter after T.J. Watt's strip sack of Joe Burrow and then he returned a fumble for a 21-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter after Nick Herbig jarred it loose from Burrow. Wilson has now compiled 51 total tackles (29 solo), an interception, two fumble recoveries and a defensive touchdown over 12 games in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Sneaky DROY candidate in '24
Bucky Brooks of NFL.com suggests Wilson could snag Defensive Rookie of the Year honors as a longshot candidate this coming season.
ANALYSIS
The rookie third-round pick out of North Carolina State enjoyed an injury-riddled but productive college career that saw him record 402 tackles, including 48 total tackles for loss, seven interceptions, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble. A checkered medical history led to Wilson's slight drop in draft stock, but he arrives in the NFL with blinding 4.4 speed that Brooks feels will enable him to make plays from sideline to sideline with regularity.
