Giants | Russell Wilson shreds Dallas secondary in losing effort Sun Sep 14, 04:52 PM
New York Giants QB Russell Wilson finished 30-of-41 for 450 yards and three touchdowns with one interception in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys. Wilson also ran for 23 yards on three carries.
| Footballguys view: Wilson had a career high in yards and beat the Cowboys on deep balls - including a long touchdown to Malik Nabers with under a minute left to take the lead. The talk of benching the veteran for Jaxson Dart should go away for at least a few weeks. He and the Giants will face a tougher defense when the Chiefs come to New Jersey next week. |

Giants | Russell Wilson not on hot seat? Sat Sep 13, 11:11 PM

Giants | Russell Wilson remains the starter Wed Sep 10, 12:44 PM
New York Giants QB Russell Wilson will remain the starting quarterback for Week 2 as head coach Brian Daboll said rookie QB Jaxson Dart remains the QB2.
| Footballguys view: The Giants have committed to Wilson for one more week...which is a bad sign because it's Week 2! The offensive line is not great, and that's not going to help an aging Wilson. It's only a matter of time before Dart sees the field, and behind that line he's going to be tested when that happens. |

Giants | Russell Wilson to keep job for now Mon Sep 8, 02:05 PM
New York Giants QB Russell Wilson will be the starting quarterback for the Giants in Week 2, according to head coach Brian Daboll.
| Footballguys view: As Profootballtalk.com suggested, at some point, the Giants will turn to their rookie quarterback, Jaxson Dart. But it won't be this week. Wilson completed just 17-of-37 passes for 168 yards in Sunday's loss to the Commanders. But he was also the Giants' leading rusher with 44 yards on eight carries, which led to Daboll acknowledging his quarterback wasn't the only issue. But if Wilson continues to underwhelm, the calls to turn to Dart will only get louder. The Giants will be in Dallas next Sunday for their second road game to start the 2025 season. |

Giants | Daboll Won't Commit To Russell Wilson Starting Week 2 Sun Sep 7, 09:28 PM
Giants coach Brian Daboll was asked after Sunday's 21-6 season-opening loss to the Commanders if it was fair to say that quarterback Russell Wilson will be the team's starter next week against the division rival Cowboys. His answers were hardly definitive just moments after a contest in which first-round pick Jaxson Dart served as the team's backup ahead of veteran Jameis Winston. "We're going to get home and look at our game," Daboll said when asked if he would consider starting Dart next week.
| Footballguys view: Wilson went 17-of-37 passing for 168 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the loss. He was especially ineffective under pressure, completing just 2 of 12 passes for 26 yards with two sacks and two scrambles. New York managed just 231 yards of total offense. The Giants did have a package planned for Dart, although they didn't use it in the contest. Wilson played all 62 offensive plays. We'll see if that changes this week, as the Giants begin preparing for the Cowboys. |

Giants | Russell Wilson largely ineffective in opener Sun Sep 7, 06:25 PM
New York Giants QB Russell Wilson finished 17-of-37 for 168 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in Week 1 versus the Washington Commanders. Wilson also ran for a team-high 44 yards on eight carries.
| Footballguys view: It won't be very long before Jaxson Dart starts. The Giants offense was morose in Week 1, but they will have a longer and better second act with Wilson on the sidelines. |

Giants | Russell Wilson remains atop depth chart Sun Aug 17, 06:23 PM
New York Giants QB Russell Wilson remains the team's starter heading into Week 1 on the road against the Washington Commanders despite the strong preseason play of rookie QB Jaxson Dart. 'Russ is our starter, and we're going to keep developing Jaxson,' head coach Brian Daboll said Sunday, Aug. 17.

Giants | Russell Wilson not close to considering retirement Tue Jul 15, 02:29 PM
New York Giants QB Russell Wilson, who will turn 37 years old in November, recently confirmed to SI.com's Conor Orr that he wants to play 'five-plus years.'
| Footballguys view: Rookie Jaxson Dart is the future, but Wilson is clearly looking to put that on hold. More immediately, as Footballguy Jason Wood noted last week, we don't expect Wilson to be a fantasy star in 2025, but if he matches his numbers from Pittsburgh last season, it'll be a plus. Competent QB play would elevate Malik Nabers to a top-five receiver and create upside for Darius Slayton, Wan'Dale Robinson, and Theo Johnson. |

Giants | Russell Wilson impressed Fri Jul 4, 10:48 AM
New York Giants QB Russell Wilson was the most impressive on the field in front of the media, according to one Giants insider.
| Footballguys view: Wilson is the heavy favorite to start Week 1, but he is unlikely to be the starter in Week 18. Last year he was strong at the beginning of his tenure as the Steelers quarterback, but by the postseason looked like someone ripe for replacement. In a best case scenario for fantasy, Jameis Winston would take over if that happens again this year, but head coach Brian Daboll will probably be more inclined to start first round pick Jaxson Dart. |

Giants | Good start critical for Russell Wilson? Tue Jul 1, 01:40 AM
New York Giants QB Russell Wilson faces a daunting first four weeks with games against the Washington Commanders, Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs, and Los Angeles Chargers. If Wilson looks 'competent' and wins 'at least one' game during that four-game stretch 'he could start all of 2025,' in the opinion of The Athletic's Jacob Robinson. If not, however, Robinson suggests that rookie QB Jaxson Dart 'could start earlier than anticipated.'
| Footballguys view: Wilson's QB30 Footballguys projection is indicative of his job security here. Nobody should be investing in him -- or Dart, for that matter -- in redraft formats. We'll continue to monitor this situation and make necessary adjustments, but as Robinson suggests, a move is unlikely until well into the season. |

Giants | Russell Wilson reveals why he chose NY Giants Mon Jun 23, 01:09 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers was the primary reason that Russell Wilson decided to sign with the team this offseason.'I came here because of (Nabers). I really wanted to play with someone who is special like him,' Wilson told Empire Sports Media's Anthony Rivardo.
| Footballguys view: As a rookie, Nabers led the NFL in target share. He can make contested catches, get behind defenses, and create after the catch. He's a do-it-all receiver whom the Giants will hope to build around for the next decade. Whether it's Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, or Jaxson Dart under center, it probably can't get much worse than what Nabers dealt with (and found success in) last year. |

Giants | Jaxson Dart to see playing time in 2025? Sun Jun 22, 11:39 AM
New York Giants QB Russell Wilson is still expected to be the team's Week 1 starter but QB Jaxson Dart has shown a great deal of improvement this offseason, according to head coach Brian Daboll. In the opinion of NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, it seems to be a matter of 'when, not if' Dart will assume the starting role.
| Footballguys view: After an 18-32-1 start to his head coaching career, it's understandable that Brian Daboll might be feeling some heat. After trading up to get Dart in Round 1 of the NFL Draft, any promise shown this year could buy him some extra job security. It's hard to know precisely when Dart will take the reins. But a bit of rushing upside and throwing the ball to Malik Nabers could make him an interesting late-season option for fantasy. |

Giants | Darius Slayton meshing with QB Sat Jun 21, 10:00 AM
New York Giants WR Darius Slayton has developed a 'quality connection' with QB Russell Wilson, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Slayton has 'what the heck' flex appeal for Fantasy GMs. Wilson should be the starter Week 1 for the Giants, and he may be starting the entire season if 2025 first-round pick Jaxson Dart isn't yet ready to take over. Let's see what this connection looks like in the preseason, but it sounds like Slayton could be a late-round flier in deeper drafts. |

Giants | Russell Wilson No. 1 quarterback Wednesday Wed May 28, 01:59 PM
New York Giants QB Russell Wilson received most of the work with the first-team offense during practice Wednesday, May 28.
| Footballguys view: While Wilson took most of the first-team snaps, rookie Jaxson Dart and Jameis Winston also snuck in a few. Tommy DeVito fit in for four third-team reps throughout the practice. "They'll all get reps," coach Brian Daboll said of the plan for the QBs this spring. But make no mistake: Wilson is expected to begin the season as New York's starter after signing a one-year deal with the franchise in March. Even at that, holding on to the job will likely depend on overall team success. Because of that, Wilson opens as QB30 on the Footballguys 2025 Projections. |

Steelers | Team President Art Rooney II: Preference Is To Re-sign Russell Wilson Or Justin Fields Mon Jan 27, 03:01 PM
Steelers president Art Rooney II has weighed in on what he'd like to see the team do at the quarterback position. The Steelers had Russell Wilson and Justin Fields on one-year contracts during the 2024 season, and both of them started games during the regular season. "I think they're both capable quarterbacks, and my preference would be to sign one of them, so that'll be the priority, and I think that will give us the best opportunity to move forward," Rooney said via Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Wilson got the majority of the work, and the Steelers did not make a change even as the offense's performance cratered in the final weeks. Head coach Mike Tomlin was noncommittal about any plans that the team has at the position, but Rooney's comments are worth noting. The Steelers can start talks on a contract with both quarterbacks at any point, but there was no word on Monday about how quickly Rooney would like to see things move on that front. |

Pittsburgh Steelers impending free-agent QB Russell Wilson said that contract extension discussions with the team have already gotten underway, during an appearance on ESPN's 'Pat McAfee Show' Wednesday, Jan. 22.
| Footballguys view: The Steelers don't have a starting quarterback on the roster for next year with both Wilson and Justin Fields set to hit free agency. Wilson may or may not have interest from the Las Vegas Raiders with Pete Carroll hired as their new head coach. Reports indicate the two have patched up their problems with their relationship with the Seahawks years ago. |

| Footballguys view: After seeing how things went for the Steelers passing game this season, it's hard to say this would be good for Brock Bowers, but it could be worse than catching passes from Russell Wilson. The new general manager John Spytek will also need to decide whether to trade up for a quarterback, either Miami's Cam Ward or Colorado's Shadeur Sanders. |
