Week 13 vs Giants
Russell Wilson hasn't exactly been cooking like he was at the beginning of the season. He has just five passing touchdowns and four interceptions since his four-touchdown outing against the 49ers in Week 8. He also hasn't cracked 250 passing yards since Week 9. All that said, this is still Russell Wilson and he can turn the oven back on in an instant. He still comes in as our No. 2 quarterback this week.
Week 12 vs Eagles
Russell Wilson hasn't been cooking as of late, though he did toss two touchdowns in Seattle's win over Arizona last week. If there's a week for Wilson to bounce back, it's this week as he faces a crumbling Eagles team on Monday night. He's a sure bet to throw at least two touchdowns, and probably more, in Philadelphia, as the Seahawks just seem to be kryptonite for the Eagles. He's our No. 4 this week.
Week 11 vs Cardinals
The Rams just seem to be the kryptonite of Russell Wilson, as he had his first game with zero touchdowns this season. Now he has to quickly turn around and take on the new leaders in the NFC West, the Arizona Cardinals. The last meeting was a thriller that came down to the wire. Wilson threw three touchdown passes but also had three interceptions, including a big one in overtime. Hopefully, we're in for another fun game between these two teams as Seattle looks to reclaim the division lead on Thursday night.
Week 10 vs Rams
The Rams are typically a team Russell Wilson performs well against. In three of his last four games, Wilson has tossed at least three touchdowns and zero interceptions. However, in Wilson's last meeting with the Rams, and the first with the Rams having Jalen Ramsey, Wilson didn't throw a touchdown and did have an interception. All that said, Wilson's excellent run through 2020 keeps him as a top option at the position, even in a tough matchup.
Week 9 vs Bills
Do we really have to convince you of Russell Wilson at this point? 26 touchdowns in seven games. Only Tom Brady had a better seven-game start in history. The question now is can Wilson break Peyton Manning's record of 55 touchdowns in a single season.
Week 8 vs 49ers
Russell Wilson continued to cook...to an extent. He added another three touchdown passes, but three interceptions, including one late in overtime, doomed Seattle to their first loss of the season. Still, he's at 22 touchdown passes, has five games now with at least three touchdown passes and four games throwing for at least 300. Wilson looks to bounce back in a huge game against the 49ers.
Week 7 vs Cardinals
Russell Wilson now gets the primetime treatment again with the NFL moving Seahawks-Cardinals to Sunday Night Football (though more because they didn't want to risk losing the original SNF game of Raiders-Bucs due to Vegas' COVID issues). At this point, what else can we really say about Wilson for fantasy purposes? You're obviously starting him and we really can't even convince you not to. He already has four games with at least three touchdown passes and at least two such passes in all five games, helping him lead the league with 19 touchdown passes. Enjoy Sunday night.
Week 5 vs Vikings
Wilson was disappointing in Week 4. He only threw 360 yards and two touchdowns. (This is sarcasm if you didn't get it). Wilson is guiding the league's third-best passing offense, behind only Dallas and Buffalo. Wilson is also leading the league with 16 passing touchdowns. And Wilson will likely have to continue to sling the football because Seattle also sports the league's worst passing defense, averaging just over 400 yards per games through the air. Let Russ continue to cook on your fantasy team.
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.
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.
