Scouting report

SEA QB Russell Wilson - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs Dolphins

Is there really anything more to say about Russell Wilson? He has 14 touchdown passes already in just three games. He's showing no signs of slowing down. You're not benching him unless you're somehow in a 1QB league and somehow also have Lamar Jackson or Patrick Mahomes.

SEA QB Russell Wilson - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs Cowboys

Russell Wilson has been cooking, simply put. He has nine, count them, nine touchdown passes this season already as he may finally get some way, overdue MVP love. The Cowboys just got shredded by Matt Ryan but still found a way to win because Atlanta is the king of blowing big leads. Wilson doesn't blow leads. Wilson builds leads. He's our QB3 this week.

SEA QB Russell Wilson - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs Patriots

Russell Wilson put on a clinic in Week 1 against the Falcons with 322 yards on 31/35 passing and four touchdown throws. It was a reminder that Wilson is still around as one of the best quarterbacks in the league with the youth movement that's been going on. He's also 16-3 at home in primetime in his career. He's up against the Patriots, who will have a much tougher challenge than they did in Week 1 against Ryan Fitzpatrick. Wilson had 348 and three touchdowns in Week 10 of 2016, the last time Seattle and New England met. Wilson checks in as QB7 this week.

SEA QB Russell Wilson - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

There has been quite the debate lately as to who the best quarterback in the NFL is, with some making the argument for Seattle's leader. He's been one of the most consistent quarterbacks ever since he came into the league in 2012. Wilson begins year nine in Seattle against a retooled Falcons defense, one that replaced Vic Beasley with Dante Fowler Jr in the offseason and drafted CB AJ Terrell with the 16th pick of the 2020 draft. It's a good early test for what could be another questionable offensive line for the Seahawks. But if we know anything about Russell Wilson, it's that he rises to any challenge. Sunday will be no different. He is our No. 4 QB for Week 1.

SEA QB Russell Wilson - 2020 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

There aren't many quarterbacks that have been as consistent as Russell Wilson over the years. He has four top-three fantasy finishes in the last five seasons and 2020 could be five out of six. DK Metcalf burst on to the scene as a rookie, Tyler Lockett has become one of the best route-runners in the NFL and he has a veteran tight end now in the mix in Greg Olsen. Wilson is going to continue being one of the most reliable signal-callers in the NFL.

Fantasy Downside

The only "flaw" you can maybe find with Wilson in the fantasy world is he won't give you as much upside with the legs as the quarterbacks above him (Mahomes, Jackson, Watson, Murray and, to some extent, Prescott). But he'll make up for it with his arm in what has been becoming a more pass-friendly offense in Seattle.

2020 Bottom Line

Russell Wilson is Russell Wilson. He's as consistent and reliable as they come. Many are going to wait on quarterbacks in drafts again, but Wilson is more than a fine option in the fifth round with Mahomes and Jackson going in the first two rounds of drafts and Prescott, Watson and Murray not far behind. He'll likely post another top-five fantasy finish and continue to prove how elite he is.

SEA QB Russell Wilson - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs San Francisco
It was a strange game for Seattle last week. Russell Wilson completed only 51% of his passes and threw for only 169 yards in the upset loss to Arizona. He also lost his top two running backs during the game.

Wilson is playing for a division title against the Niners who are 17th in aFPA to quarterbacks. In the first meeting this season, Wilson threw for 232 yards, one touchdown pass and one interception against San Francisco.

We expect similar numbers in Week 17 so if you start Wilson, expect low-end QB1 numbers.

SEA QB Russell Wilson - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs Arizona
Russell Wilson had a solid game last weekend with 286 yards passing and two touchdown passes. The good news was he completed 76% of his passes and 11 yards per pass attempt. He had an MVP first half but has slowed down slightly in the second half.

Wilson will face the Cardinals who are 32nd in aFPA to quarterbacks, worst in the NFL. In the first meeting this season, Wilson had a modest performance throwing for 240 yards and one touchdown pass.

Wilson is a great play for Week 16. He ranks as a top-five fantasy quarterback against the Cardinals. Start him.
