Russell Wilson, QB, Seattle Seahawks

I feel pretty bad: I've been harping on Russell Wilson a lot lately, but my concerns have not been allayed. Wilson's problems are exactly the same as Kaepernick's, just a little less worrisome in the final points column. On the back of 107 rushing yards and a touchdown last week, he did finally put his fantasy point total over 12 again, but his passing still leaves much to be desired. Over the last five weeks, Wilson has passed for less than 200 yards in a game four times, tossing just 3 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. If anything, this Seahawks' offense has gotten more conservative than it has been in the past, and Wilson himself has possibly regressed as a passer.

Now this stuttering offensive unit runs into the buzzsaw that is the Kansas City Chiefs' defense. Kansas City currently ranks 13th in Adjusted Defensive NEP, and they are allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. In fact, they've only allowed fantasy passers to eclipse 15 points twice, in Week 1 and Week 2. Since then, they've held Tom Brady, Kaepernick, Philip Rivers, and plenty of others below this threshold. This is a matchup to avoid if you can.
