Would Russell Wilson At QB Mean More Snaps For WR Roman Wilson?

Would Russell Wilson at quarterback mean more playing time for Roman Wilson?

Pardon me while I engage in a game of Wilsons, one we haven’t had to encounter for the past month and a half or so. Pittsburgh Steelers rookie WR Roman Wilson made his NFL debut last week, while Russell Wilson waits. He played all of five snaps, only one of which called for him to run a round. The third-round draft pick has been persona non grata so far this season, but could Russell Wilson change that?

Wilson is a more dynamic passer than is Justin Fields, and he spreads the ball around more.
