Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Jalen Hurts

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.

In speaking to reporters on Monday, Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo touched upon the lack of designed runs by quarterback Jalen Hurts through two weeks. A staple of the Eagles' offense over the past few seasons, Patullo pointed to the way teams have defended them as a primary reason Hurts has yet to be unleashed, but was quick to point out that designed quarterback runs and zone read keeps would be coming. Through two games, 74 of Hurts' 77 yards on the ground have come on scrambles, with the tush push accounting for the remainder. For context, nearly 300 of his 630 rushing yards last season came on designed runs. With the Eagles' defense dominating through two weeks, the fear is that Philadelphia will continue to grind out wins by doing only what's needed offensively, but Patullo's assurance that there is another gear still to be reached should comfort fantasy managers waiting for the week-winning performances they're used to from Hurts and the rest of the Eagles' offense.
