Russell Wilson, QB, Seattle Seahawks

FanDuel Price: $7,700

DraftKings Price: $6,200

If you've got Russell Wilson in your season-long leagues, you don't like staring into the void that is the Jacksonville Jaguars defense. But unless you somehow have another elite option sitting on your bench, you're rolling with the the guy that got you there. Wilson is the top overall fantasy scorer this season and is practically the whole Seattle Seahawks offense. He leads them in both passing and rushing yards, so based on his running ability, Wilson ought to still have a serviceable performance.

But in the DFS world, a floor performance isn't winning you any GPPs. The Jags' defense is a nightmare across the board -- they're numberFire's top-ranked pass defense, first in yards allowed per pass attempt (5.8), and lead the league in sacks (45.0). They allow just 14.8 points per game, which is also a league-best mark by a wide margin.

Although Wilson is at a slightly discounted price this week, it's extremely difficult to see him paying off in any big way, even as a contrarian, low-ownership play.
