Pass. (Pun intended)Pullo Vision wrote: ↑Thu Dec 01, 2022 2:12 am Through the first 4 weeks this year, Wilson was at a 4/1 TD/INT ratio with a rush TD. You can cite other stats as well backing up that Wilson was playing better than his current fantasy production.
In that week 4 game, he suffered an injury to his throwing shoulder, variously referred to as a torn lat or torn labrum. Prescott got a similar injury last year to his non throwing shoulder, took a month off and had a surgery to address it this offseason.
In Wilson's 6 games he's played since (missed one game), he's thrown 4/4, with no rushing TD and his only fumble of the year. Wilson's best rushing game was that week 4 matchup, adding a season high 29 yards and tying a season high 4 attempts to go with his only rush TD. To give an example how severely his rushing has fallen off the cliff, he has 24 yards TOTAL on 10 attempts the last three games.
If Wilson's shoulder injury is the root cause of his poor performances this year, he's a screaming buy in all formats, regardless of whether SF or not.
In all seriousness, though. A guy in his mid thirties playing all year on torn shoulder isn't a good thing for his future prospects, if that's the case. It was supposed to bother him potentially for "multiple weeks". So it's either getting worse through playing, and hurting his shoulder further, or he just sucks. OR, perhaps "multiple" just means all year.
He wasn't good after he came back from his finger injury either. It's been years since Wilson was good, he's not mobile anymore, to the same degree he used to be, he can't extend plays, and he's just not a very good pocket QB. That's how I see it at this point, and I traded him in a few leagues before the value fell out this year, because I assessed it as such. Injuries or not, RW is nowhere close to an elite QB, and never will be again IMO. The Broncos got fleeced.
