Who Should I Start? Jameis Winston or Jayden Daniels

Jordan Raanan, NFL Nation reporter for ESPN who covers the New York Giants, reported that Jameis Winston may be the third-string quarterback, but he didn't want to go anywhere at the trade deadline. The plan is for him to be the New York Giants' backup to Jaxson Dart next season. Winston has been floated as a potential trade target for teams in need of a starting quarterback, given his long-standing pedigree and NFL tenure, starting in 87 total games throughout his career. However, Winston is content in New York and wants to stay with them next season to back up young rookie star Jaxson Dart. This would be a move that would be advantageous for the Giants, considering we have seen second-year (Sophomore Slumps) from quarterbacks in the past. Think CJ Stroud of the Houston Texans in 2024. While it's all speculation, it will give the Giants peace of mind knowing their backup quarterback can still sling the ball. Winston has thrown for 24,225 yards, 154 passing touchdowns, and 111 interceptions.

According to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport, Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels' MRI and medical opinions revealed positive news, as his dislocated left elbow is not as severe as initially anticipated. There was no ligament damage & he won't need surgery, and Daniels will not be immediately placed on Injured Reserve. What a sigh of relief that is for Daniel's long-term outlook and dynasty fantasy managers. Based on initial reports, this was a gruesome on-field injury where medical experts were working to stabilize his arm. While it's too quick to jump to conclusions that he will potentially be back in the 2025 season, Commanders fans and dynasty managers can feel some peace knowing there wasn't any ligament damage or what appears to be an extended absence beyond next season. Marcus Mariota will be under center while Daniels is sidelined, and most pass-catchers such as Terry McLaurin (quad), Deebo Samuel Sr., and Zach Ertz will likely see a dip in their production without Daniels running the offense.
