Jul 23, 2025

Russell Wilson is the clear cut starter for the Giants.

"These guys will be out here competing but Russ is our starter," Brian Daboll said.

Fantasy Impact:

A competition for a prize that's already been awarded.

This clears things up from a Wilson vs. Dart perspective for Week 1, but that certainly doesn't mean that it will last the entire season. The betting market currently has the Giants at 5.5 wins, so nothing is locked in stone here, including the jobs of the coaching staff. Both quarterbacks can be avoided in most league types.

Texans RB Joe Mixon, in a boot throughout spring, lands on NFI

Texans placed RB Joe Mixon on the Non-Football Injury list.

Related Players: Nick Chubb, Woody Marks, Dameon Pierce

Fantasy Impact:

Maybe the Chubb signing was a little more necessary than we thought at first? Schefter followed this tweet up with the idea that he is "expected to be OK fairly soon", so we'll keep an eye on the matter. Mixon should continue to be regarded as a fantasy RB2 as it stands, with Chubb more of a contingency bet as an RB4/5.

Giants WR Malik Nabers "ready to go", expected to practice fully

Brian Daboll said WR Malik Nabers is “ready to go” and expected to practice fully.

Fantasy Impact:

This is great news for Nabers, who has rightfully been pushed all the way into the first round of fantasy drafts. There's a not-unreasonable chance that he leads the league in target share with an incredibly thin depth chart behind him.

Report: Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin had second ankle surgery

Jenna Laine on X

Jul 22 · 8:50 PM EDT

Multiple sources tell ESPN that Chris Godwin underwent a second procedure on his ankle this spring, shedding further light on his rehab from a dislocated ankle last season.

Related players: Mike Evans, Emeka Egbuka, Jalen McMillan, Sterling Shepard

Fantasy Impact:

Laine reports the second procedure wasn't a surprise and was a clean-up procedure. It remains to be seen how much the second surgery - if at all - sets Godwin back. He wasn't expected to be a full-go in camp until closer to the season. There will likely be many updates on Godwin was we progress through camp. If he remains on PUP to start the season, he'll of course miss the first four games, which will open the door for either Egbuka or McMillan to carve out a role going forward.
