        Russell Wilson Still Entrenched as Starting QB

        By Kevin English | Updated on Sat, Aug 2 2025 10:13 PM UTC

        Giants QB Russell Wilson remains the Giants’ starter, per beat writer Connor Hughes, “with no real push from anyone to unseat him.”

        What They're Saying

        Here’s more from Hughes (via SNY):

        “He’s not there just on merit alone, though. Wilson is, undeniably, the best quarterback at camp. He’s not the Wilson of old physically, but his mental acumen is far and away better than Jaxson Dart, Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito. He also still throws a really pretty deep ball and has no issue taking shots. The Giants welcome that after the last two years.

        Dart is progressing. This was a solid week from the rookie. You can tell he’s getting more comfortable within Daboll’s offense. Some of his worst moments, or thwarted drives, came as a result of pre-snap penalties or drops from his receivers. There are still issues with Dart -- he’s a rookie developing -- but you can see what the coaching staff likes.”

        It’s not exactly breaking news. Wilson remains just a deep-league spot-starter for fantasy. 

        Still, the positive development bodes well for Malik Nabers, who’s dazzled with a number of downfield catches in training camp.

        Wilson’s deep ball mastery should also boost veteran WR Darius Slayton. The 28-year-old brings some appeal as a late-round best ball pick.
