We recommend dropping Russell Wilson either to your bench or altogether as there are better options out there. Wilson cannot be trusted to meet his projections on a weekly basis.

Why we recommend dropping Russell Wilson

Denver Broncos v Las Vegas Raiders Since Week 1, Wilson has yet to throw for more than 300 yards. He has five TDs in six matches, with only one multi-touchdown performance. Wilson's lowest single-season completion rate before this season was 61.3%. It is 58.6% for this season. He is reportedly struggling with a partial tear to his hamstring, which is typically a several-week injury, so starting him is a risk. The Broncos rank 23rd in yards and 32nd in points scored. Wilson ranks 30th in the NFL with his five touchdowns. Denver ranks 21st in passing yards and 19th in passing attempts. Wilson clearly needs to demonstrate more to make a fantasy roster. The Broncos' offensive unit is poor and Wilson should sit on your bench or the waiver wire until he proves his worth.
