Who Should I Start? Jameis Winston or Aidan O'Connell

Wednesday, August 20, 9:31 AM

New York Giants Assistant General Manager Brandon Brown put to rest any rumors of a Jameis Winston trade during a Tuesday Press Conference. "I appreciate people that are interested, but Jameis is a New York Giant," Brown told reporters after being asked if the team was taking calls about their veteran backup quarterback. The recent preseason performance of rookie Jaxson Dart, whom the team traded up to draft in the first round, had some wondering if he'd shown enough to supplant Winston for the No. 2 job heading into the season. With the Giants also adding Russell Wilson through free agency to be their starter, the depth chart appears all but settled with one preseason game left to be played, and the team seems comfortable allowing Dart to develop behind the scenes for now.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell continues to have a rough preseason, throwing his third interception despite completing 10 of 15 passes for 88 yards in Saturday's 22-19 loss to the 49ers. O'Connell struggled against blitz pressure and failed to finish any drives with a touchdown. While he remains the favorite to back up Geno Smith for now, rookie Cam Miller isn't ready to seriously challenge for the QB2 role. O'Connell has no fantasy value as long as Smith is available.
