Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Kyler Murray

Sunday, August 17, 11:22 AM

Even though rookie Jaxson Dart has starred over his first two preseason games, the New York Giants are sticking with Russell Wilson as their starting quarterback. "Russ is our starter," head coach Brian Daboll said after a 31-12 win over the New York Jets on Saturday. Wilson started the game and went 4-for-7 for 108 yards and an interception. The highlight of his night was a perfect deep ball to wide receiver Beaux Collins that turned into an 80-yard pickup and set the Giants up at the Jets' one-yard line. Dart came in after Wilson and was superb for the second straight game, going 14-for-16 for 137 yards and a score. He added another touchdown on a one-yard dive. Although the 25th overall pick from Ole Miss has gone 26-for-35 for 291 yards and two passing TDs this preseason, the Giants are sticking with their plan to have him learn the ropes behind the 36-year-old Wilson.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said that the plan for the preseason finale against the Las Vegas Raiders would be "similar" to last week in which almost all of the starters and a few other key players did not suit up. Murray and most of the offensive starters only played two possessions in the preseason opener againt the Kansas City Chiefs before sitting out in last weekend's loss to the Denver Broncos. While Murray and the rest of the starters probably won't face the Raiders, it was widely reported this summer that the signal-caller and second-year receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. have improved their chemistry heading into the 2025 season. Murray threw for 3,851 yards, 21 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 17 starts in hi sixth year in the NFL in 2024, but it's his rushing/scrambling ability that puts him in contention as a low-end QB1 in fantasy.
