Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Davis Mills

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.

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills will start in Week 10 against the Jaguars in place of C.J. Stroud (concussion). The veteran backup has been with the Texans since 2021, but this will be his first start since 2022. He completed 17 of 30 pass attempts for 137 passing yards last week against the Broncos, and he should have all his receivers available with Nico Collins, Christian Kirk, and Dalton Schultz all without injury designations coming into the weekend. Mills will likely be asked to manage the game while the team relies on the strength of its defense to carry it against the Jags. Mills is the QB26 in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 10, though, so he's not a good fantasy option in his spot start.
