Draft note

by John Paulsen

I’m not worried about Wilson changing teams, as good quarterbacks tend to drive their own fantasy value, and he’s walking into a great situation. He has a good receiving corps and a sharp offensive mind (new HC Nathaniel Hackett) leading the way. Wilson finished QB6 in 2020 and QB16 last season, though he had the 13th-highest per game average. He was QB4 in 2019 and QB8 in 2018, so he has a long track record of production and is likely to play in a pass-heavy offense for the first time in a while. The big question with Wilson is how much he’ll run. In the past four years, he has rushed for 23.5, 21.4, 32.1 and 13.1 yards per game. It’s not ideal if he’s running for less than 20 yards per game.

Broncos Beat: It's on TE Albert Okwuegbunam

Denver Post

Sep 06 · 9:48 AM EDT

From a skill standpoint, Albert Okwuegbunam is the Broncos’ best receiving option at tight end, at least until Greg Dulcich gets more time on the field. Eric Tomlinson and Eric Saubert are blockers/short-area receivers and Andrew Beck is part tight end/part fullback.

“Albert has the ability to run away (from defenders),” Russell Wilson said during camp. “I’ve been pretty hard on him. We’ve been pushing (him) and he’s working his butt off every day.”

Fantasy Impact:

The story said the Broncos could prioritize targeting the TE in the red zone this year. It even had a quote from GM George Patton who said Wilson targets the TE "a lot." It added WR Tim Patrick, who is out for the year, was expected to be a key target in the red zone, but now it could be the TEs. When Dulcich is back from injury, both TEs could be on the field together. We've been on this here at 4for4, reporting earlier this summer when a beat writer wondered if Dulcich could be a player to step in for Patrick. For now, it will be Albert O until Dulcich can get back, and there seems to be a lot of hype surrounding Albert O in the fantasy community. But the return of Dulcich could eventually put a dent in Okwuegbunam's fantasy value.

DEN QB Russell Wilson - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. San Francisco 49ers
It's been far from a fairytale start for Russell Wilson in Denver as the offense has struggled to move the ball consistently against two weak defenses in Seattle and Houston through two weeks. Wilson's 559 passing yards through two games is fine, but his fantasy performance has been disappointing in that he only has two passing touchdowns and virtually nothing in the rushing department to this point. Some of the Broncos' issues stem from a rookie coaching staff, but Wilson's play in 2022 has looked similar to the rough patches he endured in 2020 and 2021 rather than the efficient deep ball passer we have become accustomed to. The 49ers travel to Denver as an opponent with a strong defense and one familiar with Wilson from his decade in Seattle. While the Broncos are unlikely to struggle like they have so far all season, Wilson's rough play to open the season and the difficult matchup make him nothing more than a borderline starter in single-QB leagues.
