Quarterback
Russell Wilson: Denver held Wilson out last week after Wilson suffered a concussion in Week 14 against the Chiefs. When we last saw Wilson in that game, he was having his best game of the season.
Wilson was the QB4 in Week 14 (25.6 points), throwing three touchdowns, his first game with multiple passing touchdowns since Week 4. He also had a season-high 57 rushing yards.
That game was fueled by being down 27 points early and came against the Chiefs, a team we have been targeting weekly for streamers. We still have the full-season body of work from Wilson and this offense to factor in.
That body of work makes it hard to handle Wilson as more than a QB2. The Rams haven’t been a defense that we have to outright avoid. They are allowing 7.3 yards per pass attempt (20th) and 13.7 passing points per game (17th).
