Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Bryce Young

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.

Bryce Young delivered another underwhelming performance in the Panthers' 17-7 loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Carolina QB went 17-for-25 for 124 yards with no TD passes. For the second consecutive game, Young recorded fewer than five fantasy points as he logged only 2.6. He threw an interception and fumbled once. This Panthers' loss also ended a streak of four victories in a row with Young as the starting QB. He did not record any touchdowns in back-to-back games for the first time this season. Through nine games, Young has scored 20-plus fantasy points only once. In Week 11, the Panthers will face the Atlanta Falcons, who ranked seventh in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to QBs leading up to Week 10. Fantasy players who roster Young in superflex leagues simply aren't getting enough production to even start Young as a QB2. Keep him reserved in Week 11 if possible.
