Do we think Russ Wilson is done? And thoughts on Pickett?

Or are they going to figure it out in Denver. Do they go more pass happy with a weak running game with javonte out?

Does Pickett come on the scene and light it up?

I traded Sutton while I was getting good value for him. May blow up in my face, but that offense sucks.

He had 3 TDs on Sunday. If the line can stop holding and the backs would stop fumbling, he'd be doing a lot better.

I like Sutton a lot. He was always good but had garbage QBs. I think has a good shot at a top 10 fantasy season if he's healthy.

Pickett gives George Pickens some helium.

Don’t like that. Hopefully you got decent value.

Agree here. He won’t be a must start, but gives him plug and play value when needed. I picked him up where he was available.

I'm in a similar situation in my league. I have Kyler Murray, and although his fantasy points per week are decent, he's getting a lot of his production in garbage time / 4th Quarter. I don't think that is sustainable. I'm definitely not very happy with what I was expecting out of him and that offense this year. Maybe Hopkins can come in week 7 and give the offense a jolt, but I watched him last year and he didn't look overly impressive, and couldn't stay healthy at his age.

I say all that b/c someone dropped Russ today. I'm thinking of picking up him or Kenny P in case Kyler does start to slide. I can easily see him dropping out of a weekly top 10 QB play.

I'd need to drop Nyheim Hines or Travis Etienne. So it's a tough decision. The rest of my bench is DK Metcalf, AJ Dillon, and Miles Sanders. Definitely not dropping one of those three.

Why do we think Pickens will be anything when diontae hasn’t been anything either. Personally I would avoid this offense completely ROS.

New QB, but, they have a rough schedule the next few weeks. IF Pickett can stretch the field and keep D’s honest the whole offense should open up. His upside IMO is huge

Confirmed. Wilson is absolutely done. He is fricking horrible.

That miss to Jeudy on the corner route was embarrassing. Old Russ would have dropped a dime on him.

Keep picket. Zack Wilson will have better stats in the playoffs.

What's weird is that he isn't done in the sense that he's getting too old and lost a step or lost arm strength. Those things are still there. He's regressed in accuracy and decision making, which should be correctable, but he just keeps getting worse. But he's always been a Jekyll/Hyde. He's had a ton of seasons where he was a top 3 QB through the first half of the season, and then just falls off a cliff.

Coaching and play-calling are definitely exacerbating the problem though, instead of masking it. Guess Carroll knew what he was doing not letting Russ cook

I believe this was the final play of the game

I feel like it's been the opposite when I've owned him. That's why I haven't been panicking as hard as some. But, yes, this is the worst he's ever looked.

Done as in he will never be good again? Doubtful.

Done as in he should be out of all starting lineups until further notice, and dropped if needed? Absolutely.

Just read that Wilson is dealing with a partially torn lat in the Raiders game. no surgery and he should start next Monday night, but it will likely linger for a few weeks.

He and Trubusky are on my bench in dynasty. Traded Lamar for a 1 and Lance in the off-season. I had high hopes for Matty ice in Indy
