Russell Wilson looked as good as he ever has in the first half of the 2020 season. Had he maintained that pace he easily would have won the NFL MVP award and the Seahawks likely would’ve gone a lot further in the playoffs than they did.
Despite a rough finish to the season, Wilson is still one of the most enticing options at QB in fantasy footbal heading into 2021. In fact, he’s No. 1 on ESPN’s list of fantasy quarterbacks to love this year. Here’s what Matthew Berry had to say about No. 3.
“I’m a believer in new offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, and I know we have heard this before, but I do actually think … they let Russ cook this year. . . Wilson not only has massive upside but also an extremely high floor. He is the only QB with 30-plus TD passes in each of the past four seasons, and he has finished top 10 at the position in total points every season since 2013 (and top six in three of the past four campaigns).”
If the Seahawks really do commit to a more up-tempo attack under Waldron – allowing Wilson to get into rhythm and abandon the establish the run nonsense – it could lead to a previously unseen ceiling in fantasy production.
Running back Chris Carson also made Berry’s list of players to love.
