Trust = spike production for that player
Quarterback
Russell Wilson: Wilson already has logged three QB1 scoring weeks over the opening month of the season.
He had four over the entire 2022 season.
Wilson is currently seventh in the league with 7.7 yards per pass attempt with nine touchdowns and two interceptions. It took him until Week 14 last season to throw his ninth touchdown.
Wilson has been reliable in matchups we have needed him, but this week will be a true test.
No quarterback has finished higher than QB17 against the Jets this season, and that includes Josh Allen, Dak Prescott, and Patrick Mahomes.
The Jets are allowing 6.5 yards per pass attempt (10th) and are ninth in passing points allowed per attempt (0.332).
Wilson is back on the table this season for good matchups, but this is not a week to expect a spike outcome, leaving him as a QB2.
