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 completed 27 of his 39 pass attempts for 289 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 12 loss against the Dallas Cowboys. He also had seven rushing attempts for a team-high 33 rushing yards, plus two additional touchdowns on the ground. Although the Eagles lost, fantasy managers will chalk this up to a productive game for the 27-year-old, especially since he hadn't scored multiple touchdowns in a single game since Week 8. In addition to his touchdown total and rushing yardage, it was very encouraging to see Hurts complete nearly 70% of his passes for almost 300 yards. He should be trusted as a strong QB1 option heading into Week 13 against the Chicago Bears.
