Russell Wilson Week 16 Outlook - Steelers at Ravens

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Fri, Dec 20th 2024, 5:05pm EST

The loss of George Pickens in the last two games has crushed Wilson's ceiling, as he has finished as the QB13 and QB25 in weekly scoring, averaging 12.2 fantasy points per game. I don't see that changing this week, with Pickens out again. Wilson didn't even succeed against this defense in their last meeting with a QB27 (7.3 fantasy points) finish. Since Week 14, among 34 qualifying quarterbacks, Wilson has ranked 25th in yards per attempt, 30th in passing yards per game, and 15th in fantasy points per dropback. Baltimore has also been improving their pass defense. Since Week 10, they have allowed the third-fewest yards per attempt, the sixth-lowest passer rating, and the seventh-lowest CPOE. I expect mid-to-low-end QB2 numbers from Wilson this week.
