Russell Wilson Remains the Giants Starter

Monday, September 8, 2:17 PM

Russell Wilson will get the start at quarterback for the New York Giants when they face the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2. Head coach Brian Daboll revealed on Monday that no change is imminent at the position, following a Week 1 performance that saw Wilson complete fewer than 50% of his passes at a paltry 4.5 yards per attempt. For the third season in a row, the Giants failed to score a touchdown in their season opener. New York traded up in the first round of the draft to select Ole Miss gunslinger Jaxson Dart, who will inevitably take over at some point this season. While Wilson went largely undrafted in most fantasy formats, drafters who spent an early pick on Malik Nabers will have to wait at least one more week for a change. Nabers is still an every-week start on volume alone, but the Giants' offense as a whole will need to see an increase in efficiency to return his heavy draft cost.

Chris Olave Briefly Exits With Chest Injury Before Returning

Sunday, September 7, 3:44 PM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (chest) exited during the fourth quarter of Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. The team announced that he was questionable, but he quickly returned to the contest. Olave will re-assume his role as the Saints' No. 1 wide receiver ahead of Rashid Shaheed. Given his role in a subpar Spencer Rattler-led offense, Olave should merely be viewed as a high-end WR3/FLEX option in fantasy football.
