Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Bryce Young

After trading up back into the first round of the 2025 NFL draft on Thursday night to select Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart, New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll made it clear in his press conference that veteran Russell Wilson will be the starting QB, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. "He can come in, sit behind a couple veteran quarterbacks and learn," Daboll said. In addition to Wilson, the G-Men signed former first-rounder Jameis Winston to bolster their QB room heading into 2025. Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen are both firmly on the hot seat, but at least the Giants now have their QB of the future if things go poorly again this fall. Wilson, 36, initially gave Pittsburgh's offense a spark in 2024 but looked over the hill down the stretch. He could develop a nice chemistry with WR1 Malik Nabers, but Wilson will have to play well to hold off Winston and Dart.

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan said that quarterback Bryce Young told head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan that the team needed to draft him. Young vouched for McMillan, and the Panthers listed and selected the 22-year-old Arizona product with the eighth overall pick of the 2025 NFL draft on Thursday night. The 6-foot-4 pass-catcher excels on contested catches down the field and should immediately be a starter in three-wide sets for the team in 2025 next to Xavier Legette and veteran Adam Thielen. McMillan will give Young a wide catch radius, but there are questions about how much separation he will be able to get on a consistent basis at the next level. If it's true that Young was adamant about the team drafting McMillan, the two could quickly form a strong connection that helps McMillan become fantasy relevant in Year 1.
