Week 16: Wilson vs Cardinals
Russell Wilson's fantasy numbers continue to suffer as the Seahawks have gone back to what made them successful last season offensively. The conservative approach works, but Wilson only threw for 168 yards and a touchdown last week against the Niners. Wilson can help his fantasy teams out even when he struggles with the passing numbers by running the football consistently. He only had 27 yards last game, so overall it was a down week for Wilson.
This week, Wilson faces division-rival Arizona who is 9th in aFPA to quarterbacks. He did have a good outing the first time they met with 211 yards passing, one touchdown throw and zero INTs. He also rushed for 73 yards. The tough matchup and conservative offense put Wilson as a borderline starter for Week 16. Look at your options and if you don't have another good one, Wilson shouldn't kill you and always has a decent shot at a rushing touchdown.
