Fantasy Football
Russell Wilson To Run More In 2023?
Published: Jul 28, 2023 at 08:18 PM
Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson ranks third all-time in quarterback rushing yards with over 5,000 yards on his resume, but the 34-year-old racked up just 277 yards on the ground last season -- good for his fewest in a single season with at least 15 games played. The signal-caller appears to be leaner this year and has hinted at using his legs as a weapon more in 2023. Head coach Sean Payton has reportedly encouraged Wilson to use his legs and believes it is still one of his strengths. The benefits of rushing quarterbacks for fantasy football are well discussed and documented, so a little bit more rushing production could propel Wilson to QB1 status if the overall offense improves.
