Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Drake Maye

Wednesday, July 23, 10:10 AM

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll confirmed again on Wednesday that quarterback Russell Wilson will be the team's starting quarterback. "Russ is our starter," said Daboll. While this has been the vibe for the most part, it's worth the head coach verifying. Wilson currently gives the team their best chance to win games, though it's worth mentioning that backup quarterback Jameis Winston projects as the better option for the pass-catchers and their fantasy output. The 36-year-old is no more than a late-round dart throw at the quarterback position and is likely more suited as a streaming option off waivers at this point in his career.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is showing signs of taking a step forward at the onset of his second season. NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe mentioned that he was told by a member of the Patriots staff that Maye has shown increased processing speed and has had a good start to camp. Maye should be helped by the team's offseason addition of Stefon Diggs, a player who gives him a true No. 1 receiver after the rookie had limited offensive weapons to throw to in 2024. If Maye does show improvement in his second year, it would lift all New England skill players in fantasy and real life. For now, Maye's sneaky rushing upside keeps him in the conversation as a solid QB2 in fantasy drafts.
