The Seattle Seahawks starting quarterback Russell Wilson Daily Fantasy NFL salary had him priced at $7.8K at Star Fantasy Leagues, a leading Daily Fantasy Sports site. He will face off against a Rams defense in Week 1 that some say is better than that of Seattle’s.

Head coach Jeff Fisher and general manager Les Snead have done a great job building the rest of this D-line. In their first year here, 2012, they drafted Michael Brockers in the first round. He’s turned out to be an outstanding pass rushing setup man in sub-packages and a tough one-on-one block on base downs. Fisher and Snead also locked up Chris Long to a long-term deal their first year, which has paid dividends, and they signed former Titan William Hayes to provide depth. And the one remaining player they inherited, Eugene Sims, has blossomed into a productive, versatile backup, capable of starting for many 4-3 teams. (He may get that opportunity next year; Sims is in the final year of his contract. Long’s 2016 cap number is $14.25 million, which the club is unlikely to keep on the books, and Hayes is in the final year of his deal. There will be a hole to fill at defensive end.)
Wilson will also face off against a doable Chicago. A game against the Bears three years ago yielded well over 30 fantasy points. But a game against the Packers is another “hold” for sure during the month of September.
Russell has averaged over 20 fantasy points his last three years in the league.
