Zach Wilson is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for quarterbacks. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 15 of the 2023 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-QB Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Here we go again. All things considered, this is most likely Zach Wilson's last chance to prove that he belongs in the NFL. Tim Boyle was released by the Jets, and Wilson started in the Jets' game against the Texans.

Wilson had probably the best game of his entire career up to that point, throwing for 301 yards and two touchdowns with a career-high 117.9 passer rating to give his Jets an upset win over the Texans and keep their playoff hopes somewhat alive.

Aaron Rodgers is trying very hard to make a sensational return towards the end of the season, potentially on Christmas Eve, and Wilson doesn't want to let his idol down. But this leaves us with a very interesting situation regarding Wilson's fantasy value.
If Wilson beats the Dolphins and Rodgers returns in Week 16, you'd get a solid performance out of Wilson. If not, Rodgers probably won't return at all and you'd get three more games out of Wilson. He's a volatile player, but getting a QB2 with upside at this point is very rare.
