Russell Wilson fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 8 (2024). Should you start or sit Russell Wilson for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-End QB1
ANALYSIS: The Pittsburgh Steelers blew out the New York Jets in Week 7 behind new starting quarterback Russell Wilson's 264 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, and one rushing score. The former Denver Bronco was impressed with his team debut after reclaiming the starting job from now-backup Justin Fields.

It wasn't all pretty, but he got the job done. He'll face a New York Giants team that's reeling from the loss of its starting left tackle, Andrew Thomas. The Giants already have a poor pass defense, and they could struggle to find much breathing room against a suffocating Steelers defense.
This could give No. 3 a helpful boost -- if New York is unable to sustain drives, Pittsburgh could have more opportunities for drives and, thus, more opportunities to rack up yards and scores. It's a soft matchup for the long-time NFL vet.
He should be started in leagues with 12 or more teams.
