Russell Wilson named Week 1 starter
Russell Wilson has officially been named the Week 1 starter for the Steelers, as expected.
Fantasy Impact
Wilson’s struggles with Denver were well noted, but his experience likely won him the job. The 35-year-old quarterback will likely be no more than a QB2, but he did show the ability to support fantasy-relevant players while in Denver. With George Pickens as the clear number one option, he should be considered a WR2 and a potential breakout candidate with Wilson at the helm.
