Latest news

Steelers QB Russell Wilson looks set to start Week 7

Sources: The Steelers plan to give Russell Wilson first-team reps in practice this week, putting him in line to make his season debut.

Fantasy Impact:

Russ will get the start against the Jets on Sunday night it looks like. Pittsburgh is 4-2 with Fields, but with Wilson’s calf now fully healed it looks like the team is going to make a change. This could mean a better news for the Pittsburgh WRs as Wilson should throw the ball more vs. Fields escaping the pocket and running.

LAR WR Van Jefferson - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Seattle Seahawks

Van Jefferson looks like he'll be the WR1 in Cooper Kupp's absence. He wasn't on the field much to start 2022. Over the last ten weeks of the season, he averaged 4.4 targets, and 2.4 receptions for 36.9 yards. It was a tough go, even though he barely overlapped with Kupp last season. It remains to be seen if he can earn targets at a high-enough rate to be fantasy relevant.

We currently have him ranked as WR39 in our projections. He's a desperation WR3 or Flex option if you're really in a bind, but you likely have better options on your roster.
