Russell Wilson will start Week 1 for the Giants, taking first-team reps over rookie Jaxson Dart and Jameis Winston, per team reports. Coach Brian Daboll highlighted Wilson’s deep passing as a boost for receiver Malik Nabers this season. (Charlotte Carroll)
Fantasy Impact:
Wilson’s deep-ball accuracy could elevate Malik Nabers to WR2 status, but at 36, Wilson’s limited mobility caps him as a low-end QB2 for fantasy managers. Jaxson Dart’s dynasty appeal dims as he waits behind Wilson and Winston. A shaky 9-25 record under Daboll might push Dart into action if Wilson falters early.
