Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Jalen Hurts

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.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts turned the ball over five times in last week's Monday night loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, but he bounced back in a big way in a favorable Week 15 matchup on Sunday against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders. Hurts only attempted 15 passes in the 31-0 rout, but he completed 12 of them for 175 yards and three touchdown passes. The 27-year-old signal-caller added seven carries for 39 yards on the ground. He was sacked only once for a loss of four yards. Two of Hurts' touchdown passes were short dump-offs to tight end Dallas Goedert, with his third passing TD coming to receiver A.J. Brown on a 27-yard hookup. It hasn't always been pretty in 2025, but Hurts now has 22 touchdown passes, eight rushing TDs, and six interceptions in 15 games. He has been a top-five fantasy QB and has another plus matchup for the fantasy semifinals in most leagues in Week 16 versus the division-rival Commanders.
