Sit ‘Em
Russell Wilson and the Seahawks have had a slow start to their 2015 season thus far and are currently sitting at a 3-4 mark that is much worse than many thoughts and projected coming into the season.
But their record aside, Wilson hasn’t been very good, at least regarding fantasy production.
In 6-point passing touchdown leagues, he has only broken the 20-point barrier twice in seven games and has only thrown for more than one touchdown one time in as many games.
In Week 8, Wilson takes on the improving Cowboys defense with defensive ends Greg Hardy and Randy Gregory coming back from suspension and making life hard for opposing quarterbacks.
Wilson has been sacked a league-high 31 times because of his unproven offensive line, and I don’t think Wilson is going to be able to escape one of the best pass-rushing duos in the NFL.
Consider Wilson a low-end starter for Week 8.
