Should You Start or Sit Russell Wilson in Week 15?
I thought Wilson showed fine for himself last week without George Pickens, notching his fourth multi-pass TD game of the season, but I’m not the least bit confident that he can prove worthy of our trust in this spot should his WR1 be at anything less than full strength.
Wilson’s yards per attempt were 27.4% lower last week than his season average. And with the Eagles posting the fourth-lowest YAC per completion this season, I have a hard time thinking that 200 yards or multiple touchdowns is in the cards for the veteran QB this week.
Like Mahomes and the Chiefs, this team doesn’t need fantasy-friendly QB numbers to win ball games. The less Wilson does in this game, the better I think Pittsburgh’s chances are of pulling off the upset, and I expect Mike Tomlin to share that line of thought.
