Wilson’s Dynasty Outlook

Russell Wilson is considered by all means a veteran in the NFL with over 10 years of experience, However, despite being 35 years old, Wilson remains a dual-threat quarterback capable of making big plays both in the air and on the ground.

HC Mike Tomlin has favored youth by placing QB Justin Fields as the starter, this means that for now, Wilson is not seen in any fantasy or production whatsoever. And depending on the performance, who currently has the Steelers at 3-0 he could replace him. The Steelers have some nice playmakers like Najee Harris, George Pickens and Calvin Austin III meaning whichever QB is at the helm will have some nice potential to succeed.

Russell Wilson’s Dynasty Potential

In dynasty leagues, Wilson isn´t really the coveted player he once was. Nowadays he is not even a starter but to his misfortune he is also 35 years old, meaning his remaining years in the league are likely numbered.

If he were to regain the starting role. It would be a matter of monitoring his health and performance to reassess the situation.

Russell Wilson’s 2022 and 2023 Performance

Since getting traded, Wilson has had some dismal seasons. 2022 likely saw Wilson have the worst year of his career with 3,524 yards and 16 TDs, according to ProFootballReference.

In 2023, things did get a bit better for Wilson, who closed the year with 3,070 and 26 TDs. However, these numbers reflect only a shadow of what Wilson could previously do.

For 2024, expectations would be for Wilson and low. He isn´t the starter and therefore not expected to see much action. Unless he is traded, Wilson’s value won’t amount to much for 2024, backing up Fields and still limited due to a calf injury.

Final Thoughts

Russell Wilson emerges as an inconvenient pick to make in fantasy modes. His blend of experience, talent, and potential and not what it once was, and if you add into the mix the fact that Wilson is now 35, things don´t look very bright for the QB.
