Russell Wilson Fantasy

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee, a procedure to fix an issue that had nagged him for a few seasons, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Wilson is already working out and throwing, so he's fully expected to be ready to go for offseason team activities and Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season. Wilson is coming off his worst season in the NFL, throwing for just 16 touchdowns to 11 interceptions. Perhaps the knee clean-up will help his mobility next season under new Broncos' head coach Sean Payton.

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson ended his disastrous first season with the team in the Week 18 regular season finale on a positive note in the 31-28 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, albeit in a meaningless game for both teams. Wilson finished 13-for-24 for 283 yards, three touchdowns and one interception while being sacked twice for 17 yards. He also ran the ball eight times for 18 yards. It was one of the 34-year-old's better games of the season, but as we mentioned previously, this game didn't matter in the grand scheme of things. The veteran QB will be changing his offseason routine up and will also have a new head coach and quite possibly an entire new coaching staff in 2024. The Broncos have the offensive weapons for Wilson to rebound, but the offensive line needs upgrading and Wilson needs to be better than his career-worst 60.5% completion percentage.

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson is coming off one of his best games of the season when he threw for 222 yards and a touchdown and added two rushing scores in the Week 17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. But Wilson's first season in Denver has gone horribly wrong. He has a career-worst 60.8% completion percentage, 3,241 passing yards, 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 14 games, averaging just over 15 fantasy points per game. The nine-time Pro Bowler gets the Los Angeles Chargers in the Week 18 regular season finale, a team that has been solid against the pass, allowing the sixth-fewest passing yards per game in 2022. There's no reason to treat Wilson as anything other than what he's been all year: a midrange QB2 with a low ceiling. In Week 6 against the Bolts, Wilson went 15-for-28 for 188 yards, one touchdown and no picks in a loss.
