Now completely healed from the finger fracture that cost him time last season, Wilson is ready to take advantage of this new opportunity and remind everyone that he belongs in the conversation for the premier fantasy options at his position.ĪDP: 7th round (QB9) D'Andre Swift, RB, Lions Nic Antaya / Getty Images Sport / Getty With reports that the Broncos are tailoring the offense around Wilson and the team playing against the fourth-easiest schedule for fantasy QBs in 2022, the 33-year-old could enjoy a productive season. The Seahawks were among the bottom half of the league in passing attempts each of the last four years - including finishing 31st in 2021 with just 495 passes thrown.īy comparison, Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett (who'll be calling plays in Denver) dialed up 593 passing attempts in his final season as the Packers' offensive coordinator. Wilson has been vocal about wanting to throw more in the past and will likely get his chance this season.

The Broncos are equipped with two quality receivers ( Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy), two strong running backs ( Javonte Williams, Melvin Gordon), a pair of promising young tight ends ( Albert Okwuegbunam, Greg Dulcich), and a middle-of-the-pack offensive line that's an upgrade from the porous blocking units Wilson often played behind in Seattle. In Denver, he'll be surrounded by one of the best supporting casts of his career. The former third-round pick finished in that range during eight of his 10 seasons with the Seahawks, falling just short during the other two campaigns (QB13 in 2021, QB16 in 2016). Whether Wilson can accomplish the latter is up for debate, but his status as a fantasy QB1 isn't. In each instance, the QB in question finished as a top-12 fantasy passer (points per game) in their first campaign with their new squad and eventually brought home a Super Bowl victory for that franchise. While it's rare to see a star quarterback change teams while performing at a high level, we have a few examples in the last decade or so, with Matthew Stafford joining the Rams, Tom Brady the Buccaneers, and Peyton Manning the Broncos.
