Quarterback

Russell Wilson: Completing 24-of-29 passes, Wilson had a season-high 82.8% completion rate on Monday night.

He has not thrown for 200 yards or 7.0 Y/A in a game since Week 4, but Wilson extended his league lead with a 6.9% touchdown rate.

Wilson is now 6.8 passing touchdowns over expectations, but after a career-low 3.3% touchdown rate in 2022, sometimes regression in the NFL comes swiftly and heavy-handed.

Even with his lofty touchdown rate, Wilson has been higher than QB9 just one time this season. He is best used as a high-floor QB2.

Minnesota is blitzing at the highest rate in the league (48.6%).

Against the blitz, Wilson is 28th in the league with a 71.9 rating, throwing for 6.2 yards per attempt (28th). He has one touchdown pass against the blitz this season.

On the positive end, Minnesota plays the highest rate of Cover-2 at 25.2%.

Wilson is second in the NFL with a 119.0 rating against Cover-2.
