Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Patrick Mahomes

Sunday, December 1, 4:49 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson completed 29 of 38 pass attempts for 414 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception in a 44-38 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. He added three rushing yards on three carries. Wilson had total command of Pittsburgh's offense in its highest-scoring performance since November 2018. He found George Pickens for a 17-yard score early in the first quarter before hitting Calvin Austin III and Pat Freiermuth deep for touchdowns later in the contest. Although he did throw a pick-six on the Steelers' first possession, Wilson was hardly at fault as his intended target was tripped up as he made the throw. With three total touchdowns in three of his six starts this season, the veteran has proven that he still has upside for fantasy purposes in the right matchups. Next week, he'll hope to muster up a better showing against the Cleveland Browns than he did in Week 12's loss.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 26 of 46 passes (57%) for 306 yards and one touchdown in the 19-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Mahomes also rushed twice for four yards. Mahomes and the Chiefs appeared in line for their second loss of the season before a last-minute fumble cost the Raiders the game. The Chiefs quarterback passed for over 300 yards for the second time in 12 games this season. The Week 13 win also marked the sixth game with one of fewer passing touchdowns for Mahomes this year. That said, the veteran quarterback has been turnover-free in four of the last five games and has turned his best performances of the season recently. Mahomes will look to get back on track next week against the Los Angeles Chargers, who rank 16th in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks this season. Mahomes has demonstrated he still has the potential for QB1 weeks, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to know when those will be. Fantasy managers will hope for a better showing from Mahomes in Week 14.
