Trust = spike production for that player
Quarterback
Russell Wilson (TRUST): Wilson may not be back to being a top-level fantasy quarterback, but he has turned in back-to-back usable fantasy starts as the QB9 (19.5 points) and QB13 (16.7 points). Last week, he only averaged 6.2 yards per pass attempt, but he was able to throw the ball 37 times, his second-highest total on the season.
We have the two teams here that have run the fewest plays in the NFL this season, so there are some play volume concerns overall, but the Houston defense is significantly worse than the Seattle unit, so I do believe the Seattle offense will have an advantage in winning the play-volume slap fight.
Houston only faces 32.5 pass attempts per game (eighth) but they have allowed a 4.5% touchdown rate (20th) to opposing passers to give Wilson touchdown appeal as a lower-end QB1.
