Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Jaxson Dart

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.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart completed 17 of his 25 pass attempts for 195 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions during Thursday's upset victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6. He also contributed on the ground, rushing the ball 13 times for an additional 58 yards and one touchdown. The rookie first-round pick played turnover-free football and took just two sacks for a loss of one yard total. While Dart's passing yardage was modest, he made an impact by limiting turnovers and using his legs to make plays. If he can find this level of success against a strong defense like the Eagles, his potential in the league is limitless. He's a QB2 with QB1 upside heading into another tricky matchup against the Denver Broncos.
