against that decimated secondary.... 19 points is not good enough.... it's not good enough for any week in 2018 NFL... 19 pts is QB15... which is what wilson is currently at in my scoring for the year.Started him. Spent most of the game regretting it. Then the next thing you know you look up and he's got 19 points.
Schedule looks great. And Baldwin may have just shown up for the season. Maybe Wilson and Seattle roll here for the rest of the season.
Well...I've been streaming QBs all season. I'll take it.against that decimated secondary.... 19 points is not good enough.... it's not good enough for any week in 2018 NFL... 19 pts is QB15... which is what wilson is currently at in my scoring for the year.
Good stuff, lol.'Exquisite' Russell Wilson making most of his opportunities
RENTON, Wash. -- Officially, Russell Wilson completed 11 of 17 attempts on Sunday. But there might have been one more throw not accounted for on the stat sheet.
It allegedly involved a shoe.
Specifically, the one that slipped off the left foot of San Francisco 49erslinebacker Fred Warner late in the third quarter of the Seattle Seahawks' blowout win at home. According to 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, Wilson picked up the shoe and tossed it several yards behind the line of scrimmage. The 49ers were flagged for offside on the next play when they were trying to get a replacement for Warner onto the field before the hurrying-up Seahawks got off their next snap. Shanahan cited that sequence as the reason he lost his cool and drew a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.
There's a joke to be made about the shoe toss being another example of Wilson making the most out of his limited opportunities to throw this season.
After all, the offside penalty negated a sack, the unsportsmanlike conduct gave the Seahawks 10 free yards and they scored three plays later, when Wilson found Jaron Brown for his fourth and final touchdown pass of the game.
Russell Wilson completed just 10-of-20 passes for 72 scoreless yards and an interception in the Seahawks' 21-7, Week 14 win over the Vikings.
Wilson at least made up for it a bit with 61 rushing yards, but he was one of the worst fantasy quarterbacks of the week. His big gaffe was just a flat-out stupid decision with six seconds left in the first half; Wilson was chased from the pocket, did a 360 turn, then blindly flung an interception right to LB Eric Kendricks with the Seahawks up 3-0 and near the goal line. Wilson never recovered and was bad all night. Seattle still won with ease on the back of Chris Carson and the run game along with the defense. Wilson should rebound next week at the Niners.

I love the matchup, but super scared the Seahawks get an early lead and just run the ball.kyoun1e said:Wilson torched SF at home last time out on extremely low passing volume. Anyone else a bit nervous about Wilson in the semis just handing off and letting the D due it's thing?
The regression fairies have been lurking. Need ceiling in the semis. Not sure Wilson provides it.
I have L. Jackson that I could sub in. J. Allen also on the wire sitting there.I have Dak in over him, and if not Dak, I would probably start Lamar Jackson over him. He was providing decent fantasy output despite just 20ish attempts per game all season, but that never seemed sustainable or reliable. Last week we saw what happens when the stars dont align. The floor is just too low to trust at this time of year, assuming you have other decent options.
Russell Wilson completed 23-of-31 passes for 237 yards and two touchdowns in the Seahawks' Week 15 overtime loss to the 49ers.
This was a game the Seahawks should have won but personal fouls and sloppy defense cost them the win. The offense looked good for most of the game however. Wilson was able to pick on the backup corners which led to two easy touchdowns, and Chris Carson picked up 119 yards on 22 carries. Wilson can still pop for bigger fantasy lines as a passer, but it's hard for him to have a huge ceiling when he's not running the ball like he used to. Wilson will still be a QB1 in next week's home matchup against the Chiefs.

Still makes me laugh.5'-11"...maybe. He will go the way of Troy Smith and Pat White, both thought of as potential NFL starters yet failed miserably. His best case scenario is backup and injury fill in like that Wallace bum who I saw that they likened him to during the draft.
Fantaasy irrelevant.

Russell Wilson completed 18-of-27 passes for 233 yards and one touchdown in Seattle's Wild Card loss to the Cowboys.
Although his numbers don't jump off the page, Wilson was spectacular the few times he was allowed to throw, averaging 8.6 YPA through the air. The elephant in the room was Pete Carroll's and Brian Schottenheimer's offensive play-calling, which essentially handcuffed Wilson (despite his success) and stubbornly stayed establishing the run to the tune of 2.8 yards per tote on 21 total carries. To call Seattle's approach embarrassing is an insult to the term 'embarrassing.' If the coaching infrastructure stays in place this offseason (and we expect it to), consider Wilson a low-end QB1 entering the new league year due solely to the fact that he'll spend more time handing the ball off rather than being allowed to make downfield plays. His 3,448 passing yards from the regular season were his lowest since 2013.

Great example of someone trying to create a story and controversy where none exists.
The Seattle Times reports contract-year QB Russell Wilson has given the Seahawks an April 15 deadline in extension talks.
That is the day the Seahawks' offseason program begins. It is unclear if Wilson would actually cease negotiating by the middle of this month. That would be a highly-unusual strategy. Unless Wilson is prepared to toe the hardest of lines, the more traditional deadline is Week 1. The Seattle Times reports that the sides have indeed talked in recent days. At $33.5 million per season, Aaron Rodgers is currently the league's highest-paid quarterback. That number figures to be Wilson's over/under.

The Seattle Times reports "there has been very little progress" in extension talks with contract-year QB Russell Wilson.
Wilson has given a deadline of April 15 — the start of Seattle's offseason program — for a new deal. That looks unlikely with talks still in the early stages. It's not clear how strict of a deadline this is for Wilson, as most teams prefer extensions closer to Week 1. The Seahawks have the option of franchising Wilson next offseason, but it'd be surprising if something doesn't get done.

Id be pissed if my team gave up two firsts for him. And I am a Dolphins fan. And a Wilson fan. And a Phish fan.He has to be worth 4 first rounders unless more than 1 is early. He's one of the best QBs in football and is only 30. Easily in the conversation for the top 5 QBs in the game.
If Wilson got traded, that would probably be huge for his fantasy value. Can't have any lower volume than Seattle.
How about Tampa Bay, Cincinnati, NY Giants, and Washington as very interested teams?
You would be pissed if the Miami Dolphins spent two first round draft picks on Russell Wilson?Id be pissed if my team gave up two firsts for him. And I am a Dolphins fan. And a Wilson fan. And a Phish fan.
Its not the picks that are the problem. Paying one player that large of a percentage of your salary cap is crippling. The teams that win Super Bowls seem to be for the most part teams with QBS on rookie deals, or a team where the star QB takes a very team-friendly deal. We know Brady does, and I think Brees does too (although I dont know that for sure). Stafford and Rodgers are making bank, and they arent even taking their teams to the playoffs. Probably because they cannot afford to build a team around them with so much money tied to one player.
Washington is still paying Alex Smith on his fully guaranteed contract and paying keenum.How about Tampa Bay, Cincinnati, NY Giants, and Washington as very interested teams?
He's a multi Pro Bowl QB who has consistently been to the playoffs and won a Super Bowl and he's under the age of 35 entering his contract year.There's no way they're trading Wilson. With due respect to the idea of the exercise and the poster that suggested it, the effort exerted in debating it seems like a waste of time.
Okay. Fair enough. It shouldn't happen, but the Seahawks do things differently with contracts.It is a fair question because this never happens to QBs with his resume.
They built a SB team around Russell Wilson and his low rookie contract.Okay. Fair enough. It shouldn't happen, but the Seahawks do things differently with contracts.
Yep. Amazing how the rookie contract became such a competitive advantage to be written about over the past two years. Before, nobody really spoke of it. The CBA is going a long way in determining who dominates and how the league functions.They built a SB team around Russell Wilson and his low rookie contract.
If their was an open unregulated free agency in the NFL he would get $40 million per year by some team so if Seattle is playing some strange game of chicken it could come back to bite them so I think they are seriously considering getting out from under the weight of the sort of contract he will demand and get.
The other thing is the CBA.Yep. Amazing how the rookie contract became such a competitive advantage to be written about over the past two years. Before, nobody really spoke of it. The CBA is going a long way in determining who dominates and how the league functions.
And he would get something around $35-40 million in free agency if it came to that. I still don't think Seattle is seriously considering a different QB, though. I guess that's the debate, though.
Yes, I would. For all of the reasons I stated in my post. Teams with QBs making a huge portion of the cap dont win. They cant fill other holes. And then, if you trade away all of your picks you not only lose the ability to build through free agency but then also through the draft. Its not 100% that Seattle will keep him and pay him all of that money, and they dont even have to give up any picks to keep him - and he is the absolute face of their franchise. There is a reason he has not been extended yet. Its not a no-brainer in todays NFL.You would be pissed if the Miami Dolphins spent two first round draft picks on Russell Wilson?
I'm curious about how you think the Dolphins should address the quarterback position.
What do you want the Dolphins to do at QB and how do you see it playing out if they follow your plan?
I think this is a false narrative. It reduces your margin for error, sure, but certainly doesn't cause the team to be bad because of QB pay.Id be pissed if my team gave up two firsts for him. And I am a Dolphins fan. And a Wilson fan. And a Phish fan.
