Outlook Russell Wilson

Transition to Broadcasting Signals the End of Fantasy Relevance

Russell Wilson's decorated 14-season NFL career has come to an end following his decision to step away from football and join CBS Sports as an analyst. After logging six games with 831 passing yards and three touchdowns in 2025, the veteran quarterback chose television over backup roster opportunities.

Without an active team affiliation or NFL contract, Wilson carries no fantasy utility heading into the 2026 season. His roster ownership and start percentages sit at zero across virtually all competitive leagues, cementing his complete departure from standard draft boards.

Our projections expect zero statistical output across the board. Fantasy managers can safely ignore Wilson on draft day and across all waiver wires as he begins his post-playing career in the broadcast booth.
