The Pittsburgh Steelers announced on Wednesday that Russell Wilson will be their Week 1 starter against the Falcons. This was not a huge surprise, given his contract and Justin Fields’s inconsistent play in the preseason, but it is significant.
Wilson missed some preseason with a strained calf but has been back in practice for three weeks. He is not a high-priority fantasy quarterback, but he is a passer who should be considered in superflex leagues and for streaming as long as he remains the starter. In 2023, the Falcons were a favorable matchup for quarterbacks.
