Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Chris Olave

Sunday, August 17, 11:22 AM

Even though rookie Jaxson Dart has starred over his first two preseason games, the New York Giants are sticking with Russell Wilson as their starting quarterback. "Russ is our starter," head coach Brian Daboll said after a 31-12 win over the New York Jets on Saturday. Wilson started the game and went 4-for-7 for 108 yards and an interception. The highlight of his night was a perfect deep ball to wide receiver Beaux Collins that turned into an 80-yard pickup and set the Giants up at the Jets' one-yard line. Dart came in after Wilson and was superb for the second straight game, going 14-for-16 for 137 yards and a score. He added another touchdown on a one-yard dive. Although the 25th overall pick from Ole Miss has gone 26-for-35 for 291 yards and two passing TDs this preseason, the Giants are sticking with their plan to have him learn the ropes behind the 36-year-old Wilson.

New Oreland Saints wide receiver Chris Olave suited up for the Saints' second preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He recorded two receptions for 12 yards on four targets while playing alongside rookie quarterback Tyler Shough in Sunday's 17-17 tie. As expected, his chemistry with the rookie quarterback appeared a bit off. However, it was a positive sign for New Orleans to see their star receiver back on the field for the first time since Week 9 of 2024. Injuries have impacted all three of his seasons in the league, including eight missed games last year after landing on IR due to a concussion. Questionable quarterback play and injury risk continue to affect his fantasy value, and he is currently ranked as WR34 in PPR formats by RotoBaller.
