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.

Jayden Daniels Locked In QB1 Despite Tough Matchup

Friday, December 20, 7:07 PM

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback should be viewed as a QB1 in Week 16 despite the tough matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Last weekend, in their victory over the New Orleans Saints, Daniels went 25-for-31 for 226 yards and two passing scores. He added 66 yards on 11 rushing attempts. During Weeks 12 and 13, Daniels averaged an impressive 29.5 PPR points per game, scoring seven touchdowns over this span. Daniels has thrown at least two passing touchdowns in each of his past three games. Given his elite rushing upside, fantasy managers should always consider him a must-start option. This weekend, he will have a rematch against a tough Philadelphia defense that has allowed the second-fewest PPR points to opposing quarterbacks this season. Even though the last time he faced them, he scored only 15.4 PPR points, he should always be locked into all lineups.
