Giants to start QB Russell Wilson Week 2

Daboll confirmed that Russell Wilson will start Sunday against the Cowboys.

Related players: Jaxson Dart

Fantasy Impact:

Earlier we reported that Daboll wouldn't commit to Wilson after Week 1's loss to the Commanders, but the Giants boss ultimately decides to give Wilson another shot. The Cowboys actually did a pretty good job of holding the Eagles passing game down last week in the opener. It was Jalen Hurts' legs who helped the Eagles' cause. But Dallas did a pretty good job of shutting the Birds offense as a whole in the second half, so the outlook for Wilson in Week 2 doesn't appear to be great on the surface. It really seems like it's just a matter of time before the switch to Dart happens, and Wilson is a risky fantasy start as a result.

Giants don't commit to QB Russell Wilson for Week 2

Brian Daboll sounded a lot less sure of his answer on that one. The coach was given multiple opportunities to commit to Russell Wilson as the starter for Week 2 and repeatedly declined to do so.

“We’re going to get home and look at our game,” Daboll said when first asked about starting Dart in Week 2. “Collectively, we all have to do better.”

Fantasy Impact:

The countdown to Dart is officially on. The Giants said before the game there was a package of plays for Dart, but he never got into the game in Week 1. As the story said, the Giants offense was anemic, producing just six points and 231 yards of offense with Wilson at the helm. The story stressed there were multiple chances for Daboll to commit to Wilson for Week 2, but he never took the bait. We all kind of speculated Wilson would have a short leash, but the switch to Dart may be happening sooner than later based on this story. Dart is likely not a free agent in dynasty and superflex leagues, but even in one QB redraft leagues, Dart is worth considering as a QB2 stash as long as you have a roster spot.

Giants list Jaxson Dart as QB2

Giants dropped their unofficial depth chart a few moments ago. Jaxson Dart is listed as QB2, Jameis Winston QB3.

Fantasy Impact:

Dart is waiting in the wings for Wilson to struggle, which, will likely happen at some point this season. Dart is worth stashing especially in deeper leagues, and even more especially after an impressive preseason. It's worth noting teams will often make a QB change over a team's bye week, but the Giants bye doesn't come until Week 14, which is very late in the game. We'll see how short Wilson's leash will be.

Russell Wilson goes 6/7 in preseason debut with Giants

Giants QB Russell Wilson went 6/7 for 26 yards in one drive in his preseason debut against the Bills.

Fantasy Impact:

Firmly entrenched as the starter, Wilson saw some early game action for the first time as the Giants quarterback and led a drive that resulted in a 53-yard field goal. The Giants felt one drive was enough for Wilson and went to first-round quarterback Jaxson Dart, who has thrown a touchdown pass.
