Seattle Seahawks’ quarterback mobile Russell Wilson, now entering into his fourth NFL year is multi-talented and does it all. Leading the league among fantasy quarterbacks for rushing yards in 2014, with 849, Wilson handily beat his closest competition by over 200 yards.

How about quarterback rushing touchdowns? Wilson had everyone in his quarterback class topped in this category too rushing in six of his own scores in 2014. He also kept his interceptions to only seven for the entire season which was the third-best for all the quarterbacks. Less picks meant less deductions in fantasy points.

Overall, in 2014, Wilson scored the fourth-most fantasy points of all offensive players and the third-most among his fellow quarterbacks.

When considering these factors for 2014, and where Wilson ranked overall, it would have him right up there among the elites like Aaron Rodgers and Peyton Manning.

However, just imagine if Wilson had the opportunity to play with a pass-catcher like someone of Pittsburgh Steelers’ Antonio Brown’s caliber? While the Seahawks won games and Wilson scored a ton of fantasy points, the team definitely lacked in the receiving department.

Wide receiver Doug Baldwin, who was hit or miss all season, catching 66 of his 98 intended targets for 835 yards and three touchdowns was Wilson’s best option in the catching department.

Should Wilson have been playing with Brown who scored 13 touchdowns and racked up 1,698 receiving yards versus the 44th ranked Baldwin, he most definitely could have been the overall leader in fantasy points for 2014, hands-down.

In looking at where Wilson fell short (no pun intended), in 2014 was in his passing yards and touchdowns.

Upon reviewing the top 10 quarterbacks for 2014, every one of them passed for at least 4,000 yards. Wilson who ranked third overall in fantasy points actually ranked 15th in passing yards with 3,475.  Additionally, he ranked 16th in passing touchdowns with 20 compared to the league’s touchdown leader Andrew Luck who had 40.

In my book, Wilson’s ranking third overall in fantasy points and fourth in his class of quarterbacks classifies him an elite fantasy option when selecting him as a quarterback moving forward. While his numbers held strong without a having a leading wide receiver at his disposal, adding a top-notch receiver to the mix would only enhance Wilson’s productivity, making the sky the limit for what the young quarterback could accomplish in the 2015 fantasy season.
