Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Lamar Jackson

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.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has registered a rough stretch of fantasy finishes over the last three games as he continues to deal with a slew of injuries. This week, he was dealing with a toe issue that kept him out of the walkthrough on Monday, but he was a full participant the rest of the way. His upside remains one of the highest in the league, especially against a Cincinnati Bengals defense that has allowed the third most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, and the second most over the last four weeks. A lot of these matchups with the Bengals have ended up in a shootout, and Jackson's 10-2 against them in his career with a total of 2,472 yards, 22 touchdowns, and four interceptions. For that reason, he's still projected as a QB1, but he's become a bit more worrisome week by week.
