Russell Wilson Is A Risky Play In Week 5
6 years agoSeattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is the epitome of a risky play right now. He's one of the most talented QBs in the league, he can single-handedly win a fantasy week, he's got one of the worst offensive lines in the game, he doesn't seem to get along with his offensive coordinator, and it's been nearly a year since he last threw for 300+ yards in a game. Week 5 further compounds that issue because he's facing a Rams team that includes a fearsome defensive line that will make his life hell and an offense that will likely drop a ton of points on Seattle and force him into a shootout. Shootouts are good for fantasy, but there are so many risks associated with this situation that owners should really only start Wilson if they absolutely have to.
