With eight total touchdowns in his last three games, the Seahawks' Russell Wilson is back to being a top Fantasy quarterback, which should make him an easy call for his Week 10 matchup at Atlanta. The Falcons rank 19th against the pass, allowing 248.6 yards per game, and have given up the fifth-most Fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season. Even when their secondary stepped up with two interceptions against Cam Newton last week, they still allowed 19 points to the Panthers quarterback in standard CBSSports.com leagues.
They've had trouble stopping Wilson in the past. In their divisional round playoff matchup against the Seahawks last year, they allowed 385 passing yards and 60 rushing yards to the then rookie. In terms of overall yardage, it's still his best game to date.
And that Falcons defense wasn't nearly as depleted by injury as this one. With so many factors working in his favor, you'd need a Peyton Manning, Drew Brees or Matthew Stafford type to consider sitting Wilson. All three of the CBSSports.com Fantasy Football analysts rank him in their top 10 at quarterback this week, with Nathan Zegura going as high as sixth.
