Russell Wilson offers top-five upside
Just four weeks ago, during the first quarter of Wilson’s first start of the season, many of us were begging for Pittsburgh to pull the plug and reinsert Justin Fields at QB.
As ever, the NFL remains the wildest and least predictable league. Russ is currently undefeated and coming off a signature win in which he tossed three TD passes. He’s now up to seven combined touchdowns in his three games, and he’s just hit the friendliest stretch of matchups on his schedule. The Steelers have a series of division games lined up, beginning this week against a Baltimore defense that ranks dead-last against the pass, allowing 294.6 yards per game. Wilson is about to give us yet another multi-touchdown performance, likely finishing inside his position’s top 10 (and possibly top five). It should be another nice week for George Pickens managers, too. — Andy Behrens
Rookie Bo Nix keeps it rolling
Nix has been the QB7 in fantasy points per game since Week 4, averaging nearly as many fantasy points (20.4) as Josh Allen (20.7) over that six-game span. After attempting seven passes inside the 10-yard line over his first seven games, Nix has 11 over his last three. Nix ranks fourth among all quarterbacks in carries inside the five and expected fantasy points this season, behind only Jalen Hurts, Brock Purdy and Lamar Jackson.
The Broncos get a Falcons defense allowing the 10th fewest fantasy points to running backs but the seventh most to quarterbacks. Denver has a big advantage up front (LT Garrett Bolles hasn’t given up a single pressure over the last four weeks) against an Atlanta front that just became the first defense in the Super Bowl era to fail to record 10 sacks over its first 10 games. Nix finishes as a top five QB this week. — Dalton Del Don
