Turnovers Hamper Russell Wilson In Loss To Baltimore

Sunday, December 22, 7:58 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson finished with a solid performance marred by turnovers in a 34-17 defeat against Baltimore, completing 22 of 33 passes for 217 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. He also rushed for 27 on three carries and lost a fumble. The veteran completed passes to nine different receivers in the game, but the absence of top option George Pickens (hamstring) was noticeable. Unfortunately for Wilson, both of his turnovers were costly. The fumble was inside Baltimore's five-yard line, while the interception was returned for a game-changing touchdown. However, Wilson is still a Superflex candidate as the Steelers prepare for Kansas City in Week 17.

Carson Wentz Finishes In Week 15 Win

Monday, December 16, 4:33 AM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Carson Wentz completed both of his pass attempts for 20 yards in the 21-7 win over the Cleveland Browns. Patrick Mahomes exited the game with an ankle injury, and Wentz filled in. The 31-year-old also rushed three times for zero yards. Mahomes is considered week-to-week with his injury, putting his Week 16 game status in question. If Mahomes cannot suit up, Wentz will be charged with leading the Kansas City offense against the Houston Texans. The Texans rank 18th in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks this season, making them a middle-of-the-pack matchup for the veteran quarterback. Wentz should be a serviceable fill-in for the Chiefs but should not be considered a viable starter for the fantasy playoffs.
