Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Kyler Murray

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.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot), who is listed as questionable for the Monday night game against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9, could be active, but in a backup role to veteran Jacoby Brissett, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero says that the people he's spoken to say that this "isn't some kind of benching" for the struggling Murray. "It's 1,000% about health," with Murray still recovering from a foot sprain that he suffered back in the Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Brissett, who has arguably looked better than Murray as a passer in his two starts, gets a favorable matchup against a porous Dallas defense and is certainly in play as a QB2 streamer in his third start of 2025. It remains to be seen if Murray will be able to make enough progress to play in a Week 10 divisional clash against the Seattle Seahawks.
