Scouting report

SEA QB Russell Wilson - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Houston Texans

Russell Wilson torched the Giants for 334 passing yards and three touchdowns which should give owners some hope that the Seattle offense is finally getting it together in 2017. More important, Wilson did not throw a pick after throwing 3 in the previous two games. Put the INTs aside, Wilson has been pretty good the past three games.

The Texans come to Seattle. Houston ranks 19th in aFPA to quarterbacks so Wilson has a chance to keep his hot streak going. Start him as a solid QB1 for Week 8 in all leagues and formats.

SEA QB Russell Wilson - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at New York Giants

Russell Wilson is coming off a bye week with mixed results through his first five starts. Although the numbers were better the last three games, he has had issues with protection from his offensive line and has attempted 37 or more passes in a game only three times. In the last two games, his passing yardage was decent, but he threw 3 touchdowns and 3 interceptions, so again, mixed results.

Wilson will face a Giants defense ranked 18th in aFPA to quarterbacks. The Giants' pass defense seems to be playing better, but Wilson should put up decent numbers in Week 7. Start Wilson as a solid QB1 at home this Sunday.

SEA QB Russell Wilson - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Los Angeles Rams

Russell Wilson was efficient against the Colts although the two interceptions put a slight blemish on the night. Still, Wilson completed 81% of his passes and threw for 295 yards. It has been a two-week resurgence that has been more reminiscent of the past two seasons for Wilson. And he also ran for a score which has been more of a bonus lately for him.

Wilson will face the Rams who are 23rd in aFPA to quarterbacks. This one could be a shootout in LA which is exactly what Wilson owners want. This is definitely a game where you want the Wilson in your lineup. Even with offensive line woes, Seattle keep scoring points and that should be the case in Week 5. Start him in all leagues and formats as top 5 fantasy quarterback.

SEA QB Russell Wilson - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Indianapolis Colts

Just when we thought maybe Russell Wilson might have been regressing, he looks like the quarterback of the past two seasons. He threw for 373 yards, 4 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. This is a typical fantasy win for Wilson owners, even though the Seahawks lost. It was good to see Seattle get the passing game going again.

It's another good matchup this week for Wilson at home against the Colts, who are 22nd in aFPA to quarterbacks this season. Star WR Doug Baldwin isn't 100% but that shouldn't be much of a factor.

Expect Wilson to have another big game this Sunday. The first two weeks were tough matchups and last week we got to see the Seattle passing game that has been one of the better units the past couple seasons. Start Wilson as a top-five fantasy QB.

SEA QB Russell Wilson - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Tennessee Titans

There are some concerns about Russell Wilson's fantasy status after the first two weeks of the season. His numbers have been more like his first several seasons in the league rather than the last two when he became a top 5 fantasy quarterback. Last week, he ran the ball 12 times which has not been part of his strength the last couple seasons. His team also only put up 12 points at home which is another red flag.

Wilson will face Tennessee who is last in aFPA to quarterbacks. So despite the road game, it's a very good matchup for Wilson and might help him get out of his mini slump.

Start Wilson for Week 3, but only as a low-end QB1 against the Titans.

SEA QB Russell Wilson - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. San Francisco 49ers

Russell Wilson and the Seattle offense struggled on the road in Green Bay. He only completed 52% of his passes for 158 yards and zero touchdowns. He did run for 40 yards but that came on only two carries. It just wasn't a great day for Wilson, but the Packers defense played well. Expect better results moving forward.

And that could happen as soon as Sunday when the Niners come to Seattle. Last season, Wilson did not light up San Francisco only throwing for two touchdowns in the two meetings. The 49ers pass defense is average at this point, but Wilson seems to rev things up at home. Expect the Seahawks to come out with a chip on their shoulder on offense and try to make people forget last week's performance.

Start Wilson in all leagues and formats. He should have a big day and ranks as a top 5 QB for Week 2.

SEA QB Russell Wilson - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Green Bay Packers

After being touted as a good running quarterback and game manager for his first three seasons, Russell Wilson has emerged as one of the best real-life and fantasy quarterbacks. Back-to-back 4,000+ passing yard seasons has put his name up there with other big-time quarterbacks in the league.

Wilson did struggle at times last year because of an injury, but he is 100% healthy heading into the opener against Green Bay. The Packers were 17th in aFPA to quarterbacks in 2016, so Wilson should have opportunities.

Even though Wilson struggled a little bit on the road last season, we expect a good performance in Green Bay on Sunday. Start him as a top-five quarterback and expect to see him among the top of the fantasy quarterback scoring leaders all season long.
