Russell Wilson A QB1 Streamer In Thursday Night Matchup

Russell Wilson A QB1 Streamer In Thursday Night Matchup

one year ago

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson didn't have a very great game in the Week 5 loss to the New York Jets, but he has still been a top-10 fantasy QB in terms of overall points through the first five games of 2023. New head coach Sean Payton has definitely had a positive impact on the 34-year-old veteran signal-caller. Wilson already has two 300-plus-yard games and has 11 touchdown passes to only two interceptions with two lost fumbles. The Chiefs defense hasn't allowed much to opposing QBs, just 15.4 fantasy points per game and 204.2 passing yards per game. Denver's defense hasn't really been able to contain anyone early in the year, though, so we'd expect Wilson to have to air it out in this one to stay competitive. In volume alone, Wilson should be able to rack up some yardage in this one on the road to be worth a QB1 streaming consideration in Week 6.
