Russell Wilson Fantasy

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson went over 300 yards passing for the second straight week, but the Broncos were nevertheless embarrassed by a score of 70-20 on the road in Miami against the Dolphins. Wilson finished the blowout loss by going 23-for-38 for 306 yards, one touchdown and one interception while being sacked just once for a loss of 12 yards. He didn't attempt to run the ball at all. The 34-year-old has had two straight encouraging performances and now has six touchdown passes and two interceptions through his first three games of 2023. His lone TD pass went to receiver Courtland Sutton, who has easily been Wilson's favorite target in the early going. In a very favorable Week 4 matchup coming against the winless Chicago Bears, Wilson will be on the fantasy streaming radar in single-QB leagues.

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson had just 17 fantasy points in the season-opening loss but had his best statistical game with the Broncos in last week's 35-33 loss to the Washington Commanders, putting up 33 fantasy points. After two games, he's averaged 25 fantasy points, which ranks fourth in the NFL at his position. It's a small sample size, though, and fantasy managers should want to see more from him before using him in starting lineups as a QB1. It was encouraging to see the 34-year-old get the deep passing game going in his 308-yard, two-touchdown performance in Week 2, and he now has five TD passes and only one pick through two games. Wilson heads to Miami in Week 3 to face a Dolphins defense that has been middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing QBs through two weeks. He's a midrange QB2 for fantasy lineups.

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said that the coaching staff may need to simplify the offense a bit in order to help quarterback Russell Wilson be more consistent. "I think, No. 1, the first thing that we always try to look at but we have to do a better job of as coaches is reduce the verbiage," Payton said. The Broncos offense wasn't getting to the line of scrimmage in a timely manner in their Week 2 loss to the Washington Commanders. It's something Wilson and the offense also struggled with in 2022, but the 34-year-old did have his best game in a Broncos uniform on Sunday, going 18-for-32 for 308 yards, three touchdowns and an interception. However, he also lost a fumble and was sacked seven times, with his last TD pass being a miracle Hail Mary that somehow succeeded. Despite the better performance fantasy-wise in Week 2, Wilson remains a QB2 in fantasy heading into Week 3 against the Miami Dolphins.
