BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2
ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson was a matchup-loser in Week 11 for many fantasy football teams, scoring single-digit PPR fantasy points by throwing for just 205 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception, and rushing four times for one yard.
Sunday’s win was far from Russell Wilson’s best game as Steelers QB but these vertical sideline shots to George Pickens are a cheat code.

Pittsburgh's offensive line put a ton of pressure on Wilson, who was often under duress from Baltimore's pass rush. Divisional rivalries can often result in odd fantasy outcomes for the players, and the Steelers' lack of depth at receiver was exposed in the contest. It was easily the former Seahawk's worst game with his new team.
The Cleveland Browns, who he'll face in Week 12, have a much softer pass defense, and he should have an easier time putting up good numbers against them. Still, how the game goes could hinge upon the Browns' ability to put up points. The Steelers prefer a run-heavy, ball control offense that gives their defense time to rest between drives.
"Russ" is a decent starter in leagues with 14 or more teams, but there is plenty of risk.
