Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson has thrown for fewer than 200 yards in two straight games and will hope to find more success in Week 16 against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens are surrendering the most passing yards in the NFL and the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. However, it may be difficult for Wilson to take full advantage of the favorable matchup with his top target George Pickens (hamstring) sidelined for a third consecutive week. Because of this, Wilson is not a recommended streaming option in single-quarterback leagues, but he can be started as a low-end QB2 in superflex formats.
When asked if he would like to run it back with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025, quarterback Russell Wilson said, "Hopefully, I love it here. It's cool. Hopefully we're going to win a Super Bowl." Wilson is playing for a league-minimum salary of $1.2 million with the Steelers in 2024 after the Denver Broncos guaranteed him $39 million this year. He'll become a free agent after the 2024 season, though, and has proven this year in Pittsburgh that he still has what it takes to win in the NFL as a starter. The 36-year-old veteran got a late start to the year due to a lingering calf issue, but he replaced Justin Fields when he was fully healthy and hasn't looked back, completing 64.7% of his passes for 1,912 yards, 13 touchdowns and only three interceptions in eight games. The eight-time Pro Bowler ranks as the QB15 in average fantasy points per game. With his top wideout George Pickens (hamstring) potentially missing a third straight game, Wilson is shaping up as a low-end QB2 despite a good matchup versus Baltimore this week.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson completed 14 of 22 pass attempts for 128 yards and a touchdown while adding four carries for 13 yards on the ground in a Week 15 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Wilson was also credited with a lost fumble on a toss dropped by running back Najee Harris. For the second consecutive week, Wilson failed to eclipse 200 passing yards without his top target George Pickens (hamstring) in the lineup. He did manage to find tight end Pat Freiermuth for a nine-yard score near the end of the second quarter but was otherwise quiet for fantasy purposes. Pittsburgh had just two offensive drives in the second half as Philadelphia dominated the time of possession and kept Wilson off the field. The 12th-year pro will hope to contribute more in a Week 16 divisional showdown with the Baltimore Ravens.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson will be looking to notch his seventh win as a starter this season in a Week 15 showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 11-2 Eagles have been stout defensively, surrendering the second-fewest passing yards and the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. To make matters worse, Wilson will be without wide receiver George Pickens (hamstring) for a second straight contest. Although Wilson threw two touchdowns in last week's win over the Cleveland Browns, he finished with just 158 passing yards and failed to complete a pass over 30 yards for the first time in 2024. While the 36-year-old can be started in a pinch as a low-end QB2 in superflex formats, he is best kept out of lineups in single-quarterback leagues this week.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson completed 15 of 26 pass attempts for 158 yards and two touchdowns in a 27-14 win over the Cleveland Browns. He added a season-high 17 rushing yards on six carries. Wilson and the Steelers' passing attack started slow but got things going in the second half, even without George Pickens (hamstring) in the lineup. Targets were distributed all over the field as Wilson completed passes to nine different players. He hit receiver Van Jefferson for a 10-yard score on Pittsburgh's first drive of the third quarter and followed it up with a 20-yard touchdown pass to tight end Pat Freiermuth on the team's very next possession. Wilson is now 6-1 as a starter this season while delivering solid fantasy production. He'll face a tough test in Week 15 on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles.
