Russell Wilson News
Tuesday, January 6, 12:39 PM
New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson (hamstring) revealed on Monday that he played part of this past season with an undisclosed torn hamstring, according to Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic. The 37-year-old veteran said he suffered the injury on the final play of the Friday practice before the Week 2 contest against the Dallas Cowboys. Wilson said he suffered a Grade 2 tear, but he didn't tell the team. Despite the injury, Wilson threw for 450 yards and three touchdowns in the 40-37 overtime loss, also adding 23 rushing yards on three carries. He said he didn't tell the Giants because of the circumstances of knowing that he was trying to hold off rookie QB Jaxson Dart from taking over the starting duties. Wilson eventually lost the starting gig to Dart. At this point in his career, Wilson profiles as a backup signal-caller as he looks to continue playing into the 2026 season.

Jaxson Dart News
Thursday, April 2, 7:56 AM
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart had an impressive rookie season, racking up fantasy points on the ground and through the air. Despite making just 11 starts, he still finished as the overall QB14 with 2,272 passing yards, 15 passing touchdowns, five interceptions, 487 rushing yards, and nine rushing touchdowns. The 2025 first-round pick dealt with adversity during his first season in the league, as Malik Nabers (knee) went down early in the year with a torn ACL, Cam Skattebo (ankle) suffered a season-ending ankle dislocation, and the Giants fired head coach Brian Daboll midseason. The good news for Dart is that Nabers and Skattebo should both be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 season, giving him weapons to boost his own fantasy stock. He also got a coaching upgrade as the Giants brought in John Harbaugh as head coach and quarterback whisperer Matt Nagy as offensive coordinator. There's a bit of injury concern with Dart because of how willing he is to put his body on the line when he runs with the football. However, if he can stay healthy for a full 17 games, he has a very strong chance of finishing among the top-five fantasy quarterbacks.
