Sacks are always a concern — an NFL-record seven straight seasons with at least 40 sacks — but Wilson's scrambling adds to his fantasy output. While his attempts likely won't increase much, his efficiency, deep-ball skills and rushing output make him a safe QB target with upside. A rededicated running game cost Wilson passing opportunities last season - no team threw less than Seattle - but improved efficiency helped him maintain a top fantasy ranking.
After leading the league in QB fantasy scoring in , Wilson averaged nearly eight fewer passes per game for a five-year low. But his Only Patrick Mahomes had a higher TD pass rate 8. Armed with perhaps the league's best deep ball, Wilson put it to good use.
He went downfield at a higher rate than any other QB with at least attempts, throwing longer than 20 yards on Wilson will have Tyler Lockett back again - he had a perfect Wilson led the league in fantasy scoring last season - nearly 50 points more than any quarterback - thanks to an NFL-high 37 touchdowns.
But it was a nonexistent running game that provided those TD opportunities, as Wilson posted career lows in completion percentage and yards per attempt. The Seahawks passed on The Seahawks' two rushing TDs inside the 10 came from Wilson, who accounted for all but one of the team's offensive touchdowns. He also became the fifth QB since to lead his team in rushing. If the running game improves with first-round pick Rashaad Penny and the return of Chris Carson, the offense should be much better, but it likely will mean fewer scoring opportunities for Wilson.
And either way, he could still be in trouble without Jimmy Graham 10 TD on 24 RZ targets, both NFL highs to bail him out at the goal line, as WR Jaron Brown is the only pass catcher taller than with more than 50 targets last year. The Seahawks are counting on new offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer for something more than last year's Russell-schoolyard-magic scheme, but the key, once again, is the offensive line, this time under new line coach Mike Solari.
Wilson's was doomed from almost the beginning when he suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 1 and a sprained MCL in Week 3. He played through both, but the injuries crippled his running threat, which hurt his fantasy value.
He posted career lows in YPC nearly 2. That, and an unreliable backfield, in part led the Seahawks to their highest percentage of pass attempts But those extra attempts went to waste as Wilson's efficiency sank; he had 13 fewer TD passes -- his 3. Wilson, who also had a pectoral injury last year, is healthy entering , and the Seahawks signed Eddie Lacy -- both of which should help re-ignite the running game and keep defenses honest.
But the biggest factor is the offensive line. Poor line play is not a new problem -- Wilson's the only QB to be sacked plus times each of the last four seasons -- and if this year's "upgrades" prove little more than cosmetic, Wilson will be scrambling for his life yet again. Accurate and strong-armed, Wilson has a skilled supporting cast, including Jimmy Graham, whom he made better use of last season, but his -- and the Seahawks' -- fortune hinges on whether the line can be merely mediocre, rather than terrible.
Through the first half it looked like Wilson was headed for another quietly efficient season as the caretaking quarterback for a Seahawks offense that was content to keep the ball on the ground, with his own scrambling ability having to compensate for his lack of production through the air. Then Marshawn Lynch suffered an abdominal injury that held him out for the final seven weeks, and coach Pete Carroll decided to open up the gameplan and see what Wilson could do.
The result was an incredible stretch in which he threw for over 1, yards with 24 TDs in seven games, and completed 70 percent of his passes or better in five straight contests. Wilson was dynamite on both short and long routes, one of only three passers along with Carson Palmer and Andy Dalton to post a QB rating above on attempts both under and over 15 yards, with his second-half explosion leading to career highs in attempts, yards, completion percentage, TDs and YPC.
With Lynch now retired, a hopefully healthy Jimmy Graham at tight end and a developing deep threat on the outside in Tyler Lockett, Wilson may finally have both the opportunity and the supporting cast to take full advantage of his accuracy and arm strength.
Wilson uses his smarts, footwork, vision, and poise to make plays in a variety of ways. Yeah, I think he can be. One skill that some observers overlook is Wilson's ability to throw deep. He chucked a yard bomb the other day in practice.
After Seattle acquired star receiver Percy Harvin in the off-season, there was talk that the team would be a Super Bowl contender.
