2 years agoRussell Wilson has taken his talents to Denver, Colorado, after spending 10 years in Seattle. Last season Wilson missed three games and finished the fantasy season as QB16. It was the first time he did not finish as a top-10 fantasy quarterback in eight years. Last season, he was armed with two reliable pass catchers, DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, and was hampered with a hand injury; the 34-year-old still managed to complete 64.8% of his passes while tossing the ball 7.8 yards per attempt. Now Wilson lands in Denver, where he is gifted with reliable pass catchers. His arsenal includes wide receivers Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton, tight end Albert Okwuegbunam, and running backs Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams. Wilson will now be playing under new head coach Nathaniel Hackett. Hackett, previously the offensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers, helped boost quarterback Aaron Rodgers to two MVP awards. According to Next Gen Stats, Wilson, who ranks first among other stats passing touchdowns and passes of 20-plus yards, should produce better than Rodgers (Wilson has more weapons) 2021 season, where he finished fantasy as QB6 with 531 passing attempts for 4115 passing yards and 37 touchdowns. The Wisconsin product had 400 passing attempts for 3,113 passing yards and 25 touchdowns. He also rushed for 183 yards with two rushing touchdowns. Wilson should see himself playing in a faster offense. Last season Seattle ranked last in average plays per game (56.1). The Packers, under Hackett, ranked 18th (62.6). His passing opportunities will increase, moving from the run-first mentality of Pete Carroll to the West Coast hybrid style of Hackett. In the 2021 season, the Seahawks passed the ball on average 29.1 times a game (32nd ranked), while the Packers passed the ball on average 34.6 times a game (18th ranked). As stated earlier by many, Hackett and the Denver Front Office did not acquire Wilson to hand the ball off. He is 14th among all quarterbacks in the latest Rotoballer rankings, behind both Kirk Cousins and Aaron Rodgers. Wilson will enter the season with more weapons and an offensive-minded head coach for the first time in his career. That's getting a bargain for someone with a high ceiling and a high floor.--Gladys Tyler
