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.
