But wide receiver George Pickens didn’t get the memo. When Pickens talked to the media, he let it slip that this week’s Steelers quarterback was making his first start, which makes it clear Tomlin’s plan is to start Russell Wilson this week and bench Justin Fields.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens has revealed who's set to start between Justin Fields and Russell Wilson.

The decision to go from Fields to Wilson would be a surprising one to say the least. The 25-year-old has the Steelers sitting at 4-2, and has scored 10 total touchdowns compared to two giveaways while completing a career-high 66.3% of his passes. Fields has recorded at least two touchdowns in each of the past four games.
