Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Jake Browning

New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson was one of the stars of Week 2, completing 30 of 41 pass attempts for 450 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. Fans and analysts alike were calling for Wilson to be replaced by Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart after a lackluster Week 1 performance, but Wilson may have solidified his QB1 status for at least the next few games with his Week 2 showing. The 36-year-old will have a difficult matchup in Week 3 against the Kansas City Chiefs, but there should be more hope for the Giants' offense in general after it dropped 37 points on the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Where available, Wilson should be added in all two-quarterback fantasy league formats.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning is expected to take over as the starter for the foreseeable future after Joe Burrow (toe) was ruled out for at least the next three months with turf toe. Browning entered in the second quarter of Week 2 and led the Bengals to a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, completing 21 of 32 passes for 241 yards and two touchdowns. The 28-year-old started seven games in 2023, where he impressed by completing over 70% of his passes while averaging 266.9 yards per game with 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions. While turnovers remain a concern, Browning has shown enough efficiency to keep Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins near the top of the rankings at the WR position. He should be rostered in all Superflex formats and can be viewed as a mid-to-low QB2 over the next three months.
