Russell Wilson, Christine Michael, Jermaine Kearse's Post-Week 15 Fantasy Advice

Danny WebsterDec 20, 2015

The Seattle Seahawks are back in the playoffs.

Thanks to their 30-13 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, the two-time defending NFC champions will get a chance to defend their title in January.

It was a big day for the Seahawks offense, which has been on a tear over the last few weeks. Let's take a look at the fantasy days for some of Seattle's offensive stars.

Russell Wilson, QB

If quarterback Cam Newton were not playing like a Greek god this year, Russell Wilson would be in the MVP discussion, possibly as the front-runner.

Wilson threw for three touchdowns Sunday, becoming the first quarterback in NFL history to throw at least three touchdowns and no interceptions in five straight games, according to NFL on ESPN.

If not for Wilson's play, the Seahawks would not be in this position. Since Oct. 22, he's thrown for 22 touchdowns with only four interceptions. He's been one of the hottest quarterbacks in the league, which is why you should keep him in your starting lineup as the season draws to a close.

Wilson has accumulated 25 points or more in ESPN.com leagues in the last five games. With two games left against the St. Louis Rams and a possibly rested Arizona Cardinals team, there's a good chance Wilson will continue his hot streak.

He's back.

With running backs Thomas Rawls and Marshawn Lynch out, the Seahawks re-signed Christine Michael last week after he spent almost half of the season with the Dallas Cowboys.

Michael got his carries and made the most of his opportunities Sunday, averaging 5.25 yards per carry for a season-high 84 yards.

Doug Farrar of Sports Illustrated noted that given the time and dedication, Michael can be a good back in Seattle:

The Seahawks are going to rely on Michael to be the featured back going forward. Now that he's back in Seattle with a team he's comfortable with, he should flourish if given more opportunities. The better he plays, the more he'll help Wilson in the passing game. Consider Michael for your fantasy lineups as a late-playoff addition.

Jermaine Kearse, WR

Jermaine Kearse has taken a backseat in the receiving game because of Doug Baldwin's potential Pro Bowl year, but he shouldn't be forgotten completely.

He eclipsed the 100-yard mark for the first time this year, and it was only the second time he has recorded double-digit points in ESPN.com leagues this season. The 25-year-old also recorded his second straight seven-catch game Sunday, which shows he's getting more targets.

Fantasy owners should consider Kearse only as a last-resort option if nothing else seems enticing on the waiver wire. Baldwin is leading the way at receiver, and Tyler Lockett has been more involved in the passing game as of late. Kearse has been good—but not good enough to warrant fantasy consideration.
