Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has been in the news for the wrong reasons. His commercial with Bose made him an easy target on social media, but more importantly his team is just 2-4.
Fantasy football start/sit, Week 7: Russell Wilson gets a short week
Russell Wilson gets a short week with a road game on Thursday. Should fantasy owners start him?

On top of that, the Seahawks have yet to win one on the road. This week, they get a welcomed sight with the San Francisco 49ers, but the game is on the road in a short week.
The bad news for Wilson is that he had two bad games against the 49ers last year and he’s generally been sub-par on short weeks. That said, there are a lot of positives here.
Even with the losses, Wilson is still sitting as QB No. 9 in fantasy leagues. The 49ers are also the fifth-best matchup for fantasy quarterbacks, even though their schedule wasn’t too tough, either.
Fantasy impact: The good outweighs the bad with Wilson and he is more of a low-end QB1. If you do have an elite guy, he’s certainly not a must-start guy, though.
