Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Cameron Ward

New York Giants veteran quarterback Russell Wilson will not ask to be traded or released after being benched in favor of rookie first-rounder Jaxson Dart going into Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post. It didn't take long for the Giants to move on from Wilson after signing him to a one-year deal in free agency, and head coach Brian Daboll said that Dart is going to be the starter for the rest of the year. Mr. Unlimited threw for 450 yards and three touchdowns in the Week 2 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, but in his other two starts, he combined for 328 yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions. Fantasy managers who picked him up after his big Week 2 performance can obviously send him back to the waiver wire. The 36-year-old won't make another start for the G-Men unless Dart gets injured.

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cameron Ward (ankle/calf) was limited on Wednesday due to ankle and calf injuries. Fantasy managers should monitor his status in case he faces a setback later in the week. However, seeing that he was still able to practice suggests he is not in danger of missing their Week 4 contest against the Houston Texans. After tallying just 112 passing yards in his NFL debut against a tough Denver Broncos defense, Ward has gone on to average 197.0 passing yards over his last two weeks. During this stretch, Ward has thrown two passing scores with only one interception. Facing a tough Houston defense on Sunday that has allowed the sixth-fewest PPR points to opposing QBs makes Ward a low-end QB2 in all formats.
