A look back: Wilson missed two games in 2021 with a finger injury that hampered his ability to throw for the remainder of the season, and he earned a career-low 70.7 passing grade as a result. However, the two seasons prior were Wilson’s best, as he earned back-to-back 90.0-plus grades and led all players in PFF wins above replacement in 2019.
An upgrade for the Broncos: Since entering the league in 2012, Wilson leads the NFL in completions (298), yards (10,159) and touchdowns (105) on passes thrown 20 or more yards downfield. That deep passing touchdown total since 2012 is over 40 more than Denver's quarterback room collectively over that span.
What you need to know: Wilson is the consensus QB11 according to PFF Fantasy projections, and he'll travel back to Seattle for the first Monday night game of the NFL season, with the Broncos currently -6.5 on BetMGM.
