2024 Outlook: Bye Week Fill-in

Despite playing significantly better last season than the previous year, Sean Payton unceremoniously benched Russell Wilson for Denver's final three games. The Broncos then released Wilson and took a record $89 million dead cap hit. Wilson signed the veteran's minimum to join the Steelers, where he will be a big improvement over Kenny Pickett. However, the Steelers also acquired Justin Fields, which complicates things for Wilson, who could be released with little ramifications. Wilson was the QB17 in fantasy points per game in 2023, so there's a solid chance he can still be an effective player. But Fields's presence lingers, making both signal-callers risky bets on draft day. ADVICE: Boom-or-Bust option with outside shot of QB1 numbers, but presence of Justin Fields makes him a volatile pick UPDATE: Wilson was named Pittsburgh's Week 1 starter. Fields will be looming over his shoulder, but Wilson stil offers QB2 upside.
