Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Josh Allen

Sunday, September 7, 8:21 PM

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll refused to name Russell Wilson as the team's starting quarterback for Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys. Speaking after the team's season-opening loss to the Washington Commanders, Daboll would not give any indication whether he was leaning toward starting Wilson or rookie Jaxson Dart moving forward. Wilson turned in a subpar performance Sunday, completing just 17 of his 37 pass attempts for 168 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero interceptions. He also rushed for 44 yards and fumbled (but recovered it himself). While Wilson did play turnover-free football, he struggled to move the Giants down the field, ultimately executing zero touchdown drives and two field goal drives. It was previously reported that the Giants would feel comfortable giving Dart snaps as early as Week 1 if necessary, so perhaps he'll get onto the field sooner than we initially expected. Regardless of which New York quarterback starts next week, they'll rank as a QB3 in fantasy football.

Buffalo Bills star quarterback Josh Allen threw on his Superman cape last night as he led the Bills to a come-from-behind win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football, 41-40, leading a drive with a minute and 26 seconds on the clock to get into field goal range and hit a walk-off field goal as time expired. Allen led the charge on Sunday in true leader fashion, going 33 of 46 for 394 yards and two passing touchdowns, while also adding 30 yards on the ground over 14 carries with two rushing touchdowns. Allen spread the wealth last night, targeting Keon Coleman 11 times, Khalil Shakir and Josh Palmer nine times, James Cook five times, and Dalton Kincaid four times. Essentially, Allen made every playmaker on the Bills offense a viable fantasy option last night. The 2024 MVP is picking up right where he left off last year, proving to everyone in a prime-time game why the Bills are serious contenders and why he won the MVP last season. He remains a high-end QB1 that fantasy managers can rely on a week-to-week basis.
