Russell Wilson Fantasy Football Outlook (2024)

By Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros), Thu, Aug 29th 2024, 9:53am EDT

Russell Wilson is expected to open the season as the Steelers' starting quarterback, but Wilson missed time in training camp with a calf injury, and fellow Steelers newcomer Justin Fields reportedly had a strong camp, so Wilson's hold on the starting job may be tenuous. Wilson is no longer the dynamic playmaker he was during his heyday in Seattle, but he was respectable in 15 starts for the Broncos last year, completing 66.4% of his throws and averaging 6.9 yards per attempt, with 26 TD passes and eight interceptions. Regard Wilson as a QB3 who lacks job security but might be playable in good matchups.
