Russell Wilson Leads Offense To Field Goal On Saturday

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson led the Denver offense to a field goal on his only drive of Saturday's preseason game against a San Francisco 49ers defense that had most of its starters playing early, outside of star edge rusher Nick Bosa. Wilson finished the eventual 21-20 loss by going 3-for-6 for 24 yards while also carrying the ball three times for 25 yards. It took Wilson four drives to put up any points for the Broncos in the preseason opener last Friday night against the Arizona Cardinals. The 34-year-old looked sharper against a much better defense in a small sample size, but there are still going to be questions as to whether new head coach Sean Payton can turn Wilson around after his first year in Denver was an utter disaster. He has the weapons around him to bounce back in 2023, but fantasy managers should be drafting him as a QB2 and not a QB1.
