BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: QB1
ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson has proven that his offensive coordinator, Arthur Smith, isn't directly from hell for fantasy managers of his team's receivers. Managers who have Wilson on their rosters have benefitted too, surprisingly. It's been a great start for the longtime vet.

Part of this is obviously because teams are being forced to throw it so much against them.

There's a good likelihood that happens. More pass attempts generally means more fantasy points.
Russ is a great start this week.

Not every WR is like this, though, […]
