Russell Wilson to get 2 Pro Bowlers back on offensive line

News coming out of Seahawks practice this week is that Wilson should be getting his two best offensive linemen back this week against the Giants. LT Russell Okung missed week 9 and C Max Unger has been sidelined since week 5. (ESPN 710 Seattle)

Fantasy Impact:

At a point in the 4th quarter against Oakland in Week 9, Seattle's left side of their offensive line consisted of UDFAs Alvin Bailey and Gary Gilliam, as well as 3rd string center Greg Lewis. Wilson has had consecutive sub-par games the past couple weeks, and at least some of that can be contributed to the rash of injuries to the line in front of him. The return of his two best protectors, including his center, should help the running game and in pass protection. This is all good news for owners that have a decision this week. Wilson should bounce back at home against a defense on a short week that just got thrashed by the Colts. He should be in your lineup.
