Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Mac Jones

Wednesday, July 23, 10:10 AM

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll confirmed again on Wednesday that quarterback Russell Wilson will be the team's starting quarterback. "Russ is our starter," said Daboll. While this has been the vibe for the most part, it's worth the head coach verifying. Wilson currently gives the team their best chance to win games, though it's worth mentioning that backup quarterback Jameis Winston projects as the better option for the pass-catchers and their fantasy output. The 36-year-old is no more than a late-round dart throw at the quarterback position and is likely more suited as a streaming option off waivers at this point in his career.

Free-agent quarterback Mac Jones agreed to terms with the San Francisco 49ers on Wednesday on a two-year deal worth $7 million with $5 million guaranteed, a source tells NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The maximum value of the deal is for $11.5 million. After one season with the Jacksonville Jaguars in which he appeared in 10 games (seven starts) due to multiple injuries to starter Trevor Lawrence, Jones will head to the NFC for the first time to back up Brock Purdy in 2025. The 26-year-old looked like a backup in his 10 appearances for the Jags a year ago, completing 65.3% of his 262 pass attempts for 1,672 yards, eight touchdowns and eight interceptions. If Jones were forced into significant playing time again in 2025 due to a Purdy injury, he'd at least be set up better with better offensive pieces around him in San Fran.
