Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Xavier Legette

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.

Xavier Legette may not be a factor in Week 11's matchup against the Falcons. Last week against the Saints, Legette failed to catch his lone target and was held to zero fantasy points for the first time this season. Outside of Week 7 against the Jets, where he totaled 92 receiving yards, one touchdown, and 24.2 PPR Fantasy points, Legette has been an afterthought this year. The Carolina WR has yet to score over five PPR Fantasy Points outside of Week 7 and has not been targeted more than three times in the past three games. The Falcons rank eighth in Fantasy Points allowed to WRs at 27.8 per game. Considering that the Panthers will rely on their run offense against an Atlanta defense ranked 29th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to RBs, Legette likely won't be involved in the offensive flow again. He should not be considered for usage in any format.
