Russell Wilson continues preseason hot streak versus Bears
The Seahawks’ signal caller has been stellar this August, and led the first-team offense for four touchdown drives versus the Bears on Thursday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Wilson completed 15-of-20 passes for 202 yards and two touchdowns, and added a nine-yard rushing score as well. Wilson found a now healthy Percy Harvin three times for 61 yards, showing chemistry especially when plays broke down. It was nothing new for Wilson, who has been superbly efficient during exhibition games, now totaling 360 passing yards and completing 30-of-39 passes and five touchdowns between passing and rushing scores.
Fantasy Spin: Wilson was on the cusp of fantasy viability in 2013, finishing 11th among all quarterbacks in fantasy points per game, and could ascend the ranks in 2014. He presents great value for owners who like drafting quarterbacks in the late rounds, and is going in the 10th, behind quarterbacks such as Colin Kaepernick and Philip Rivers. At that ADP, he presents a viable option at quarterback so owners could address the scarcer positions in the early and mid rounds instead.
