Russell Wilson

Wilson has finished as a QB1 in two of his three starts this season (QB3, QB9). Wilson has been walking a fine tightrope. Among 41 qualifying quarterbacks, he is third in yards per attempt, passer rating, and fantasy points per dropback, but his accuracy metrics have been abysmal. Among the same sample group, he is 35th in CPOE and 40th in highly accurate throw rate and catchable target rate. None of those numbers are great, but Wilson also has the third-highest aDOT and the second-highest deep ball rate, so the degree of difficulty with many of his throws has been high. Wilson should be able to thread the needle for another week against a struggling Baltimore secondary. The Ravens have allowed the most passing yards per game, the most passing touchdowns, and the second-most deep passing yards and deep passing touchdowns.

The Steelers are for real. I was wrong about everything, but I'm acknowledging it now so we can still use their pieces to win. Russell Wilson has led Pittsburgh to three wins as a starter, rebounding from a bad performance versus the Giants with a decent one at Washington. Baltimore's secondary is a wreck and will be even worse without safety Kyle Hamilton, who sustained an ankle injury last week. It's not difficult to expect a 20-point fantasy performance from Russ this week, especially if Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense click against the vaunted Steelers defense.
