Russell Wilson Still Expected to be Week 1 Starter

Thursday, May 22, 9:56 PM

The Athletic's Charlotte Carroll writes that there is no open quarterback competition for the New York Giants after they traded back into the first round of this year's NFL draft to take Jaxson Dart out of Ole Miss. Head coach Brian Daboll has repeatedly said this offseason that Russell Wilson will take the first-team repetitions to start the spring and is expected to be the Week 1 starter. But because Wilson is only on a one-year deal, he's viewed as a bridge QB. Veteran Jameis Winston is an insurance policy in 2025 and a future backup for Dart in 2026. However, with both Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen on the hot seat after going 9-25 the last two years, pressure could mount in the Big Apple for Dart to get his chance sooner than later in 2025 if Wilson and the G-Men struggle early on. Wilson is still a great deep passer and could click with receiver Malik Nabers, but there's little fantasy upside at this stage of his career.

Drake Maye Struggles in First OTA Practice

Tuesday, May 20, 11:39 PM

The Athletic's Chad Graff reports that New England Patriots second-year quarterback Drake Maye struggled in his first practice at organized team activities on Tuesday. Nobody should be putting too much stock into it, but Maye tossed four interceptions on his 16 pass attempts with the defense dominating early on. Three of the throws were outright misses, and one of them came on a batted pass on a throw behind his intended receiver. It's not all that surprising, though, with defenses usually ahead at this time of year and with Maye learning a new offensive scheme from Josh McDaniels. The 22-year-old former third overall pick eventually took over starting duties last year from Jacoby Brissett and predictably struggled for a Pats team lacking many offensive weapons. Drake showed signs of greatness, though, and he should be able to take a step forward in McDaniels' scheme with improved offensive weapons.
