Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Baker Mayfield

Saturday, September 27, 7:14 PM

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo, New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson "is expected to emerge as a trade candidate" ahead of the deadline. With the G-Men winless through the first three games of the season, head coach Brian Daboll made the call to bench Wilson heading into the Week 4 meeting with the Los Angeles Chargers. In his place, Jaxson Dart will get the start. Despite the demotion, Wilson vowed to "respond" the right way by serving as a mentor to the rookie. Without question, his best days are behind him. However, the 36-year-old could find himself in a more favorable situation, so fantasy managers in Superflex setups with room on the roster may want to consider stashing him. Wilson started three games this season, throwing for 778 yards, three touchdowns, and three picks while completing a career-low 59.1% of his attempts.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 28 of his 43 pass attempts for 273 passing yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 10 loss against the New England Patriots. He also took two sacks in the defeat. Mayfield played a solid, clean game, but it wasn't enough to hold off the surging Patriots. This showdown between potential MVP candidates in Mayfield and Drake Maye lived up to the hype, as the two combined for 543 passing yards and five total touchdowns. Moving forward, the Bucs' signal caller will continue to rank as a strong QB1 in fantasy football. He takes on the Buffalo Bills in Week 11.
