Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Brett Rypien

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson has wasted no time making his mark in 2025, highlighted by an eight-catch, 142-yard, one-touchdown performance against the Cowboys in Week 2. Quarterback Russell Wilson has been quick to praise the 24-year-old, calling him a "superstar" and noting, "He's like a quarterback out there playing receiver... he's got a great feel for the game... he reminds me a lot of Tyler Lockett." Robinson has drawn 18 targets over the first two weeks and forms a dangerous tandem with Malik Nabers, creating consistent one-on-one opportunities for both receivers. After posting 93 receptions last season, Robinson is now showing far more explosiveness, with his yards per reception jumping from 7.5 to 14.1. With increased usage and Wilson's trust, Robinson is a must-roster fantasy option across all formats.

The Cincinnati Bengals are signing quarterback Brett Rypien from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster on Tuesday, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. With starter Joe Burrow (toe) out around three months after having surgery on his injured toe, Rypien is now in line to serve as the backup to Jake Browning, starting in Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings. For more QB depth, Cincinnati added signal-callers Mike White and Sean Clifford to their practice squad on Tuesday. The 29-year-old Rypien will be trying to hold off both White and Clifford in the coming weeks for the backup gig in Cincy. Rypien went undrafted out of Boise State before making his NFL debut in 2020 with the Denver Broncos. He played three years in Denver before joining the Los Angeles Rams as a backup in 2023. Rypien has appeared in only 10 games in four seasons and has made four starts in the NFL.
