Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Baker Mayfield

Wednesday, December 25, 10:21 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson completed 23 of 37 pass attempts for 205 scoreless yards and one interception in a 29-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. However, Wilson was responsible for Pittsburgh's lone touchdown of the day, adding 55 rushing yards and a score on six carries. The Steelers struggled to protect Wilson on Wednesday as the veteran took five sacks and frequently could not find an open receiver before being swarmed by Kansas City's pass rush. After a solid start to his tenure in Pittsburgh, Wilson is 0-3 over the past three weeks with at least one turnover in each contest. He'll hope to end the regular season on a positive note next week against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 31 of 43 pass attempts for 303 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He also took four sacks and rushed for 42 yards. Finally, Mayfield fumbled once, but he was able to pick up the loose ball. All in all, Mayfield had a solid showing, but it wasn't enough to propel Tampa Bay over Dallas. The 29-year-old ranks as a top-six fantasy quarterback this season with his 3,920 yards, 37 total touchdowns, and 15 interceptions. Fantasy managers should view him as a top option among quarterbacks when he takes on a subpar Carolina Panthers defense in Week 17, coinciding with most fantasy leagues' championships.
